I did not get another boxer for many years after that, and when I did, it was like finding an old friend. We have had a few boxers come in and out of our lives for various reasons over the years, and each one has left a special mark on our hearts. All of our boxers are very dear to us and in addition to the joy they bring to us every day, they have also been the way leading to the show ring, where I have had an absolute blast doing what I love to do most. I pay tribute to the two dogs pictured here, Cooper and Sizzle, who were my first show prospects and with whom I shared many special times in the ring.

Hello, and welcome to Shadow River Boxers! We are a small, home-based kennel located in the breathtaking state of Alaska. Our boxers are all raised in our home and are a huge part of our family. We are sometimes involved in several different activities with our dogs, but they are our pets first and foremost, before all else.

My love for boxers began as a child. My family raised boxers at that time and I fell in love forever with the breed. My family was friends with a wonderful lady who showed boxers, and I was so impressed with her, her boxers and all that she had accomplished with them, that I was inspired to one day be just as succesful. I joined the local 4-H club and while the others were learning how to show their horses and other livestock, I was learning how to "show dogs"! I made our resident couch potatoes my guinea pigs and practiced day after day in our backyard. Unfortunately, my father's job transferred us a great distance away and as a result we had to find new homes for our boxers. It was a very difficult thing to do as they were such a huge part of our lives.
