Doddie’s experience

  • About Doddie

    I have enjoyed the pleasure of Boxers in my life for 38 years. Our kiddos take advantage of the open space the farm provides. Their hobbies are swimming in the ponds and running through the open trains that lead to the creeks below. At the end of the day they are a bit spoiled because they truly enjoy the comforts of our home. And the love we share for one another.

  • What makes Doddie’s program special

    I am a responsible breeder. I do health testing DM, ARVC, Hip, A. Genetics, Holters, Ecocardiogram and Thyroid. These test aid in the decision making of the breeding program and improves Longevity. I evaluate the sire and dam strengths and weakness to ensure the quality meets the breed standards. I participate in activates which improve their social skills and increase our bond for one another.
