I'm Teri U., the breeder behind Winstar Boxers located in Kenosha, WI. My focus is on maintaining the Boxer standard by raising structurally sound pups with excellent temperaments and great health. I work hard to breed healthy, happy puppies, and I take great pride in my breeding program. I am dedicated to preparing my puppies to thrive as their best selves, and I work with integrity with everything that I set my mind to. Anyone interested in being considered must complete my puppy questionnaire from my website at https://fs12.formsite.com/sheltondesigns/form12/index.html. once completed, it will come directly to my personal email. Thank you, Teri Underhill - Winstar Boxers.
Q. & A. with Teri
Why did you start breeding?
The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever. I have loved the process, and I enjoy placing my dogs in loving homes.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I look forward to helping you find the puppy of your dreams!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, brindle, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Good health testing
Brucellosis, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), +3 more.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Winstar Boxers reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Boxers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
