| 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 housesat for a
week. 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 exhuberant 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 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 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 them all but 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, Christine and Crystal 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 (nee Tricker) for not only handling Honey to her championship but 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 and K.C.O'Brien for always getting us to the ring on time.
