We live 6kms outside a small country town nestled in a very pretty valley in a choice farming region, called the 'Central Tablelands' of New South Wales, in Australia.

It seems like only last week, but in fact it is more than 25 years since we headed off to town to buy our eldest daughter a swing set, for her second birthday.

Somewhere along the way, we became 'sidetracked' by a sign advertising ' Boxer Puppies For Sale'. Not knowing exactly what a boxer was, we decided to 'just call and see'. Hence, the swing set forgotten Jane received a beautiful bouncing bundle of boxer puppy called 'Mike' for her birthday and our life with these wonderful creatures began.

We started our show career with our first boxer 'Mike' "just for fun", and then came Gypsy, Barron, Jess, Calamity, etc, etc.

After a time we imported a dog, ' Rahdavons Rakewell' from the U.K. Rowley' was the start of a different level of showing and breeding for us. He won many B.I.S. (all- breeds) and broke records at Boxer Club Specialty Shows.

After 'Rowley' came 'Rahdavons Right Honourable' and then 'Rahdavons River of Gold', also from the U.K.

A few years later we found that family commitments and sport at both State and Australian levels did not leave us the time we needed to devote to our breeding, so we had a break from both showing and breeding but kept in touch with all that was happening.

More recently during a very unhappy time in our lives due to the devastating illness of our youngest dear little daughter, we spent four months in Chicago, hoping to seek some medical help for her.

We became personal friends with one of Steffie's specialists. On our first visit with Dan, Nan and their family, we were greeted by nothing less than a boxer puppy 'Lucy', 'Lucy' rekindled the burning desire in us to once more start breeding.

After much searching and studying pedigrees we were able to buy the three dogs we have based our new programme on.

They are all safley here now ruling our home. Along with them, as only a boxer can, they brought back those special smiles and laughter that were missing from here for quite some time.

Our heartfelt thanks to Sandy Roberts, Elizabeth Esacove, Leonard and Susan Magowitz, Clayton Haviland, and Audrey Schnell, for having faith in us, and for giving us the opportunity to own such lovely dogs. Each one of them has given us more than we could ever have imagined.

Due to the new tail docking ban here in Australia we are about to take yet another exciting road with our breeding programme

With the help of Dr Bruce Cattanach of Steynmere boxers in the United Kingdom and two very dear friends Elaine Davies and Steve Lipnevits we have been able to import a beautiful Bobtail boxer baby ‘Steynmere Had It All’ ( Monty )

We are thrilled that this young chap is bringing not only the amazing Bobtail characteristic but also his excellent English bloodlines to enhance our completely American breeding programme

A special thanks to Bruce for breeding and entrusting “Monty” to us.
