Upstream Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Jean S., the breeder behind Upstream Kennels located in Lexington, OK. Our Boxer pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We are dog lovers through and through! Our pups are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with puppies that we know will bring them the same joy!
Q. & A. with Jean
Why did you start breeding?
I have a passion for breeding something that I can show in the ring. Being I'm an Owner Handler, my dogs have to be very competitive.What makes your program special?
I only breed health tested boxers, that have been shown. Not all are Champions, but have been in the show ring a few times.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
