| Finding a Boxer Puppy | ||||
|
The BEST place to meet breeders is at a dog show. They LOVE to talk about their dogs, and if you approach them at an appropriate time, they would be happy to speak with you. To find a list of Dog Shows in your area go to the following links: Dog Shows in Massachusetts Another wonderful alternative is "rescue". Ask a breeder how you can help rescue a Boxer! See below for more information!! The Middlesex Boxer Club has two delegates, Ellen Bradley and Kathy Frohock that belong to the national Purebred Dog Breeders Referral Service. These delegates will have information from club members about recent litters. If there are any puppies available, you will be given email addresses or phone numbers to contact them. It will be up to the puppy seekers however, to evaluate the puppies, as the club's delegates are not able to endorse or screen the individual breeders or their litters. Feel free to contact either Kathy or Ellen by clicking on their email address below: |

Dog Shows! Learn more about "conformation" shows by clicking here.
An exciting part of dog shows is the Junior Handling competition. Learn more by clicking here. Obedience: Boxers love to "work" with their humans. What better way to have fun with your dog than to enter obedience competitions. Learn more here! Every dog should be a Canine Good Citizen! Learn how by clicking here! Puppy Kindergarten: This is an informal class usually meeting once a week for six weeks. It is basically about socialization with a few obedience commands taught as well. It is a time for new puppies to get together and have some interactive playtime with other breeds. It is a necessary class to take before going on to some of the more specialized training programs such as Agility or Junior handling. Check your local papers or animal shelters to find out times and locations of such programs taking place in your area. And don't forget to check out the Middlesex Boxer Club Events schedule and come to one of our four seasonal events. Introduce yourself and Club members will be happy Middlesex Boxer Club also suggests the following Websites for more information: |
