Rocky's Legacy: Loving Boxer Puppies for Loving Families

We're proud to be a family-owned breeder of AKC Boxer puppies in Missouri, dedicated to producing loving, intelligent, healthy, and beautiful companions for loving families. Our passion for Boxers began with Rocky, who stole our hearts with his laid-back and relaxed personality. We wanted to share his wonderful temperament with others, and our breeding program was born.

🧬 Health & Genetic Testing

All breeding dogs are genetically tested for ARVC and DM in our work to continually improve the Boxer breed. Every Boxer puppy includes veterinary health certification and a one-year genetic health guarantee.

Our AKC Boxer Breeding Philosophy

Building on Rocky's exceptional temperament, our AKC breeding philosophy centers on continuous improvement through each generation, combining traditional excellence with modern breeding science.

Our program is founded on AKC champion bloodlines enhanced by selection for temperament and genetic testing for health improvement. We maintain nearly equal numbers of males and females for genetic diversity, while selecting puppies from each litter to evaluate as they mature.

Having developed multiple generations of our own bloodlines allows us to track health and temperament patterns over time, ensuring each breeding decision builds upon the excellence of previous generations while advancing our commitment to superior Boxer companions.

Our Boxer Puppies

Our Puppies are bred with the goal of producing excellent family pets, for people who love and appreciate the breed. We focus on selecting for temperament, intelligence, and health, ensuring that our puppies grow into happy, well-adjusted adult dogs. Our Boxer Puppies are well socialized from an early age to ensure they're confident and friendly.

AKC Registration & Breeding Standards

When you choose an AKC registered Boxer puppy from our program, you're choosing results from breeding that meets the highest professional standards.

AKC's DNA profiling ensures accurate registration and verified lineage, while their inspection program provides third-party accountability for our detailed record-keeping and breeding practices. This creates the foundation for informed decisions across generations.

We utilize AKC's educational resources alongside continuing education from other industry leaders, ensuring our breeding practices incorporate the latest advances in canine care, genetics and health testing.

This professional approach distinguishes established breeding programs from casual operations - our AKC Boxer puppies represent verified standards, comprehensive education, and systematic practices focused on long-term improvement.

Boxer Puppy Preparation

Our comprehensive development program ensures every AKC Boxer puppy receives preparation for family life through daily handling, early neurological stimulation, and systematic socialization.

From birth, puppies experience tactile stimulation across various surfaces and environments while building confidence through supervised play, household sounds, and interaction with different people. This develops well-adjusted puppies comfortable in family settings.

Our limited production allows individual attention to each puppy's development, so by placement time we can provide detailed information about their unique temperament, preferences, and readiness for successful transition to your family.

Experience You Can Trust: Bringing Joy to Puppy Parents

Twenty years of dedication to this work has taught us that bringing the perfect puppy into your family is about much more than breeding - it's about understanding what will truly bring you joy. With limited annual production, we know each puppy personally and can share their unique personality with you, matching puppies to families based on genuine knowledge of both the puppy and careful attention to what will make your family happy.

We personally deliver most puppies because meeting you matters deeply to us. This isn't just about ensuring proper placement - it's about starting a relationship that continues throughout your Boxer's life, celebrating milestones and sharing in the joy they bring.

With AKC registration, a genetic health guarantee, and our ongoing support, you're not just getting a puppy - you're gaining a lifelong connection with people who care about your family's happiness and your Boxer's wellbeing.
