CAMANO BOXER Reg'd.

In 2004 Camano changed to the Continental (European) Boxer. Our breeding line was good, and several of our boxers enjoyed a healthy life with longevity up to 12, 13 and over 14 years of age. However, during the last two decades the American/Canadian boxer on our continent changed in appearance and temperament, and the true boxer as it is known today on the International level was lost on the American continent.

Camano has adult and older boxers from our previous line available to private ownership. Our boxer are owner/breeder handled in obedience:

Available Available 4 year old male Boxer:
Excellent structure and movement, excellent head, good disposition, has basic obedience commands, great toy drive, will make an excellent family dog.

We value our previous line and Camano is accepting reservations for puppies at this time. Because of the English influence onto puppies from our previous line, the ears must be left natural. It is possible to crop the English ear, however, a much longer taping period must be anticipated. Tails are cropped upon request. Private puppy owners are encouraged to exhibit and title our boxers.

Stud Service:
NO
stud service from Camano's imported German boxer breeding line will be offered to American boxer breeding lines. NO stud service will be made available to boxers transferred through brokers (International or American brokers) onto the American continent. Stud service will NOT be made available to the progeny of imported brokers' dogs. Pedigrees will be checked for compatibility and Zuchtwert.

We carefully aim to place and match our boxers with the new owner. We will only show you the boxer and/or boxer puppy we feel comfortable discussing with you. Regardless of age, we will match the boxer to the new owner. And, since we do listen to our boxers, we will also give the boxer an opportunity to accept or reject a potential owner. A young, adult and even a puppy boxer expresses at the time of introduction acceptance or rejection of a potential new owner.

We do accept questions from children about the boxer dog. We aim to educate the future generation with the goal to create respect for the boxer dog. We will be delighted to answer your questions. However, if you are under 18 years of age and wish to acquire a boxer, please have a parent contact us.
