We were excited to be contacted by Lloyd Harrison from the Valeska Kennels in New Zealand, and even more excited when Barney flew out to his new home in Auckland to join them.  We would like to wish Lloyd, Dorothy and Barney the best of luck in the ring, flying the Paxis Flag overseas for our small kennel.  We look forward to reporting Barney's progress. 

*STOP PRESS *- Barney wins RCC at 5 months old!!! (November 29th 2010)

The Boxer

The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household, his alertness and fearless courage as a defender and protector. He is harmless in the family, but distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when roused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of loyalty and honesty and is never false or treacherous even in old age.
