The name Samson from
our Samson Boxers kennel name is a way of my showing tribute to the boy who began
it all Samson’s King Solomon.
My family purchased
Sam in mid-January of 1987 and boxers have been part of my life ever
since. Samson was shown briefly, and quite unsuccessfully as he was truly
of pet quality. However,
whatever Sam lacked in confirmation he made up for in personality and
temperament, and this is what has forever endeared me to the breed. I
unfortunately had to send Sam to the Rainbow Bridge in April of 1999.
Samson Boxers was born
of the ideology that this breed could combine health, working
ability, temperament, and correct structure. To help us achieve this objective we are
actively involved with Conformation,
Schutzhund,
Obedience, and
Therapy Dog work.
All of our dogs are
part of the family sleeping wherever they want whenever they want – yes I
have spent much time with my chiropractor working out kinks caused by
sleeping in some very precarious positions while making room for my kids.
Currently we have a 3
dog household:
Brutus is a White
German Shepherd, who I have had as a faithful companion for the past 5
years. Brutus is a Registered Saint John’s Therapy Dog, and lives to
visit with anyone who might have a cookie in his or her pocket.
Brutus also has an incredible hunt drive and will be titled in tracking
very shortly.
I purchased
Cooper
(Ch. Bayridge’s Initial Review, BH) the first
of January 2001 and what a star he has been taking numerous group
placements, puppy groups, as well as puppy shows. I cannot thank Debbie
Schenher of
Bayridge Boxers enough for placing this special young man with me and
then allowing me to run with his natural talent. You can check out
Cooper doing what Cooper loves best on the Working
Page.
Toni (Emberstouch'N Samson's Miss TNT) came to us after a long and exhaustive search for a foundation
bitch. We are truly excited about the prospect of this little girl. She
has the drives for Obedience and Schutzhund, and the attitude and proper
structure
for the Conformation ring. What else could we ask for!? We purchased
Toni from Jayde Beeching of
Emberstouch
Boxers.
At Samson Boxers we believe in feeding our dogs a natural
diet based on the principles of Dr. Ian Billinghurst. We would be happy
to discuss the Dr. Billinghurst BARF Diet with anyone interested.
