Hey Lena and Bob,
We never thought he (Rocco) would bring so much joy to the house, we are really glad about our choice.
My sister made the comment the other day when I sent her a picture of him that she always did not like
the look of Boxers but after seeing Rocco she was like he is the most beautiful dog she had ever seen. I
told her his personality is even better, The vet also commented on his temperament. We are really happy
that we did our research and got a Boxer from an Excellent breeder. Hats off to you for your breeding
practices. When doing our research they said that a good dog starts with the breeder and carry’s on to
the owners. Thanks for your support and we will keep the pictures coming. I am the picture happy
person so when I get home I will send you some more. I have also lined up a Trainer to come to the house
to work with us and to help train Rocco to be the best he can be. We are all very excited about it. I
will let you know how that goes.
Regards
Shane

Dear Lena and Bob,
Thank you for letting this little bundle of joy leave the country with me to live in the US!
Jazz is so loved and yes, quite spoiled with “squeakers”, various chew toys and her padded beds scattered
throughout the house. She has brought so much playful energy, curiosity and unbridled joy to my life.
Puppy classes have been a learning experience for both of us. She is developing into such a little
character – rambunctious and mischievous, yet she has the sweetest disposition that everyone who meets
her comments upon. While she loves other dogs (and cats), she really knows how to work a room of people
– one at a time! I couldn’t have asked for a better boxer puppy and life companion.
Thanks to you both for your support in my quest of finding the perfect puppy for me. Your mix of
professionalism combined with your genuine interest in people was refreshing to see in a breeder. Your
attitudes really show how much you both care about each puppy's future and wellbeing, especially when
you take the time to discover the best home for each of the individual puppy personalities, versus selling
them to whoever has the money and wants a dog. You really love these pups and it shows in the questions
you ask potential puppy owners and how you take the time to get to know people before you agree to a
forever home for them.
Jasmine is fantastic! She is growing healthily into those adolescent legs of hers, prances on her daily
walks (such a beautiful gait!) and is developing into a very well adjusted, happy boxer dog. Like her mom,
Honey, she is a snuggler and very much a lover!
It was a pleasure to get to know your extended family (both two and four legged) during my trips up
north. Your attitude, optimism and friendliness made those long hours driving north worth it.
Thank you again,
Jean and Jazz (Bolerame's Mi Corazon)
Bellingham, Washington
PS I wanted you to know my Bellingham veterinarian is so impressed with the health, vigor and disposition
of Jasmine, that he asked for a referral to you for some dear friends of his who are looking for a boxer
with these characteristics. He specially commented on Jasmine's gentleness at such a young age, her
balanced body structure and her gorgeous face. So you might be getting another call or two from some
more Americans in the near future.

My wife and I found Bolerame Boxers while searching the internet for a new puppy to join our family and
other dog; a Shepherd/Collie cross named Maya. We had been looking for a Boxer puppy on and off for
about a year. We’d been on their website in the past but unfortunately there were no puppies available.
On May 7th we got lucky. We happened to be searching the web again and found that Bolerame Boxers
had just had a litter on May 5th (which ironically is the day Maya was born). We immediately filled out
an application but didn’t have much hope as we assumed most, if not all of the puppies would be spoken
for. We received a very nice email later that night from Lena Arkell stating she really liked our
application and to keep in contact with her as the puppies grew. Things just started to fall into place. The
next day we spoke by phone to check on the status of the litter - what a wonderful woman to speak with.
Lena told us they were in the process of screening all applications but that there were still a few puppies
that were potentially available. Of course there was a waiting list for such fine puppies but our
application was near the top.
We were very excited and stayed in contact regularly with Lena by email, phone, checking the website
and getting updated pictures as the puppies grew. She was always so patient with us and all of our
questions (as we had done a lot of research but never had a Boxer puppy before). We were very taken
with a Classic Fawn Female who stole our hearts in the pictures we’d seen. Early in June we made a visit
to Bolerame Boxers to meet Lena, her family and the family of Boxers. What a great first meeting. We
were graciously welcomed into the Arkell home by Bob and Lena and some of the other Boxers in the
family. They were extremely friendly, warm and made us feel so comfortable in their home. It was a great
first experience and we were so excited to see what could be the new addition to our family. We met
Honey (Mommy) and the 8 other puppies and we’d have taken them all home if we could have; one cuter
than the other. The female that we were interested was immediately drawn to us and we knew she was the
one. We had a lengthy visit and played with all the puppies and again Bob and Lena were so patient with
all the questions we had.
We stayed in contact for another four weeks as the puppies grew and on June 26th we found ourselves
back at Bolerame to pick up our new baby girl. Again Bob and Lena happily welcomed us into their home
and were so fun and friendly as we interacted with our new girl. They were very professional and
thorough as we filled out all the necessary paperwork and were kind enough to have some gifts for us and
our new puppy, Lexi. We found it difficult taking Lexi away from her Mother but we knew she was going
to have a loving home and a great life with us.
We have had Lexi for about 4 months now and couldn’t be happier. It is very true what they say about a
Boxer’s personality. Lexi is such a goofy, playful little girl who gives us so much love and so many laughs.
She has been a great playmate for our other dog Maya, and they have been inseparable since day one. We
have stayed in contact with Bob and Lena keeping them updated on Lexi’s growth and progress and of
course the occasional picture. Lexi has brought a great deal of joy and laughter to our lives and there will
definitely be another boxer in our future. When we think of what a great dog Lexi has turned out to be
and the wonderful experience we had with Bob and Lena Arkell we know that when it’s time for another
boxer we will absolutely call on Bolerame Boxers again.

Lena & Bob,
We just had to let you know that Lexi has provided us with MUCH MORE than the $1700.00 we paid in
laughs and entertainment alone. She has been a great addition to our family for the past 2 years, is a
wonderful dog with a great personality and is an extremely gentle and loving little animal. We couldn't
have picked a better dog for us.
