Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Family Boxers located in Cleveland, AL. We got our first boxer in '06. After losing her in '17, we took a break to heal our hearts. We love this breed! We got boxers again & decided we wanted to breed. We all enjoy it so much. They bring a lot of love and happiness into our lives. We enjoy watching them grow and learn.
