About Bishop's Boxers

Welcome to our blog!

We have been a Boxer-loving family since 1987. Our love for the breed began with our first boxer, Chesty. Purchased from a California pet store, Chesty was extremely intelligent and trained closely with military police dogs, becoming highly skilled in search and rescue.

After losing Chesty to cancer and knowing we didn't want to experience life without Boxers, we purchased a striking 8-month-old fawn male Boxer from Crossroad Boxers in California. We named him Bishop. Little did we realize that he would be the beginning of our kennel, Bishop's Boxers.

Bishop participated in many dog shows while we had time in graduate school, but then came four children and 16 years of active duty military life. Having the desire to have a puppy from Bishop and the determination to uphold and improve the standard of the Boxer breed, we bred Bishop and kept a puppy, Lady, from the litter in February of 2005. Lady produced two wonderful litters of puppies with Telstar Boxers. We continued our breeding program with Telstar Boxers and Eve, Lady’s daughter, until we retired from the military in 2016.

As we transitioned back into civilian life, we paused our breeding program for nearly five years and are pleased to introduce our two new Telstar females, Callie and Prancer. Our goal at Bishop’s Boxers is to be dedicated to breeding and raising healthy, beautiful dogs with affectionate temperaments and sound structure in accordance with the AKC Boxer breed standard. The health and well-being of all our animals from birth until they leave with their forever family--and beyond--is critical to us. We utilize current recommended health tests before breeding to provide our puppies the best opportunity for a long, healthy life.

Our puppies are raised by our family with children and other dogs. They play an active and very important role in caring for, preparing, and socializing the puppies for their future families. As a result, the puppies leave our home with a clear advantage in adapting and transitioning to their new families.

Boxer Puppies are 8 Weeks Old and Going Home!

These past eight weeks have gone so fast. It's hard to believe that they were once small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, and now they are bouncy, bubbly puppies around 10 pounds.  Here they are, now 8 weeks old and ready to go to their new homes. We have 4 females available to go to loving homes. Please contact us for more information on these cute little girls!

Aloha : White Check Female: AVAILABLE TO GO TO A LOVING HOME
Aloha looks a little different because she has a cleft lip. Many breeders might opt to put her down at birth,
but we didn't have the heart. Our vet recommends surgery when she is 4-6 months old to close it up. So even though she might not look quite normal, her big personality makes up for it!
Contact us for more information, including a reduced price.

Our first boxer Chesty. He wasn't the most beautiful boxer, but certainly well-loved!
