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.

White Boxer Puppies are Available in South Carolina

Three sisters, waiting for someone to come and take them home.

Now that the rest of the family left with their new families over the weekend, Aloha, Waikiki, and Lei  have their house all to themselves. We often hear them having a great time running around, barking at each other, and playing with their toys. At 9 weeks old, they are really getting big!

Aloha
Aloha was born with a cleft lip. while some breeders may have chosen to put her down at birth, because she wasn't quite normal, we didn't have the heart. Our vet recommends repairing the lip when she is about 4-6 months old. Because of this, she has a reduced price. She is quite the fun little girl with lots of spunk. She is the smallest of these three females. 
Luau
Luau is a very sweet and gentle girl. Her brindle ears are very unique.  She is a medium sized puppy.
Waikiki
Waikiki is very playful and is the largest of the girls. She is all white, like the white, sandy beaches of Waikiki!

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