Camano will NOT place a puppy or dog with an animal rights actictivist, an animal rights advocate, a volunteer of humane societies, a member/volunteer or employee of the S.P.C.A., or any other individual/member of a "dog friendly" group who uses animals to harass people. Camano will NOT place a boxer into the Nanaimo/Parksville area on Vancouver Island or permit a dog to attend classes in those areas.

Advice to the responsible dog owner:
Please refrain from socializing with dogs raised on the American fad of raw food diet and BARF, advertised as "Species Appropriate Raw Diets". We recommend avoiding all areas where these dogs deposit their feces. The feces of these dogs contain bacterial matter and parasites which are harmful to your boxer and also harmful to other animals! Feces of dogs eating raw meat contain Noespora caninum! Raw food diets expose your dog & your family to lethal toxic bacterial food poisoning such as Salmonella, botulism, e-coli through exposure & handling. At Camano, we feed Eukanuba/IAMS.

Regarding second hand dog agencies, please note that those agencies have no knowledge of the dog they are selling you for an "adoption" price. The agencies do not have pedigree/ancestor information of the dogs or any information on the upbringing of the dogs. They do, however, make up soap opera stories to attract buyers with the aim to get an emotional response.

Restrictions in Veterinary Services:
Camano Boxer does not permit the following veterinary services:
Acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, holistic treatment/medication, current American "natural diet" promoted by vets, blood tests known as "titering" to assess the pet's antibody level. Either you vaccinate or you are guilty of neglecting it.

Absolutely NO "Honey and Sugar" veterinary treatment!

Registered Breeders:
Beware of the Search and Distroy puppy inquiries. Protect your property! Discard a phony inquiry "humanly" with your Shredder! Since the enforcement of the anti-terrorist laws following 911, only the strategy changes, the ultimate goal of questionable societies and "animal loving groups/individuals" to extinct and kill registered animals remains the same.

Beware of brokers and the imported boxers with questionable pedigrees from brokers. The current flood of brokerage dogs into USA is now spilling over into Canada. If you are a reputable breeder, help keeping the brokers' dogs out of Canada. We do not need the pollution, and we do not need the progeny from these dogs!
