| Bolerame Boxers Reg'd |
Bolerame Boxers Reg'd is located on one and a half acres in the beautiful Shuswap area of British Columbia, overlooking the lovely Tappen Valley.
Bolerame is pronounced Boh lair ah me. It is the first 2 letters of each of our first names. Bob, Lena, Rachel and Meghan.
We have been involved with Boxers since September 2002 when we brought home, what was to be our foundation bitch, Bolerame Brookes Tough
Legacy. However, our love of the Boxer breed stretches back 28 years when we house sat the home of a couple who raised Boxer dogs, for a
week. Our first encounter with the dogs was at feeding time and we pretty much tossed the food to them and ran for, what we thought was, our lives.
The exuberant greeting of flapping jowls and loud barking turned out not to be the "attack" that we thought it was but rather a very boisterous
greeting. From that time onward, we were hooked on the breed, always dreaming of owning our own Boxer someday.
Before the day of the internet, we had no idea where to even begin searching for a Boxer breeder and we ended up with Basenjis, Toy Poodles and
Afghan Hounds. We finally found a Boxer breeder and we were put on a waiting list. As time passed, we pretty much gave up hope of ever having a
Boxer and unexpectedly we found ourselves the parents of our 2nd daughter (the older daughter being 21 1/2 at the time of her sister's birth). A year
after Meghan's birth, we got a call from the breeder to say that she had a pup for us and were we still interested. WERE WE EVER!! So, finally, we
found ourselves the proud owners of a beautiful flashy fawn bitch who was line bred to Rayshar's Magic Moment. We were in heaven.
When the time came to look for a mate for her, I searched the internet and found a beautiful son of the great Am.Can.Ch.Berlane's Causin An
Uproar,LOM to be the sire of Brooke's first litter. She was bred to Am.Can.Ch.MGM's Stevie Ray Vaughan,SOM and that mating produced 8
beautiful pups including 2 future Canadian champions, Ch.Bolerame's Aragorn at Asuncion (Mac) and Ch.Bolerame's Arwen Evenstar (Honey). You
can read more about these two lovely dogs on their individual pages.
The rest is, as they say, History.
We are members in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club, The Alberta Boxer Club and the Boxer Club of Canada.
There are so many people that we owe thanks to. I can't name all of you but there are a few that must be named. First of all... a HUGE thank you to
Tammy Dombrowski for allowing Brooke to come and live with us. A special thanks to Merv and Sandy Bilton of MGM Boxers for allowing us to use
"Stevie" for our first and third litters, to Ernest and Angie Friesen of Asuncion Boxers for helping us through that first litter and beyond and to Wilf and
Christine Tricker and Crystal Davies (nee Tricker) of Tricker Boxers for your friendship and support. Thanks to all of you for all of the help,
encouragement and mentoring that you have given to us over the years. We also want to thank Crystal Davies for not only handling Honey to her
championship but also for thrilling us all by being awarded First Award of Merit at the 2006 Boxer Club of Canada National Specialty. We also want
to thank Wendy at Auburn Mist Training Center for teaching Bob how to handle and get our pups ready for the show ring. We belong to an awesome
local Boxer club, The Alberta Boxer Club and the members have been wonderful in involving us, helping us to learn about the Boxer breed and
showing support for us when we've had a dog in the ring and giving us pointers on how to improve. Many thanks to Tamara Coli of Boyarka Boxers
and K.C.O'Brien of Tienlung Boxers, for always getting us to the ring on time.
