Welcome to Miruby Boxers..
A little about myself
As a boxer devotee of 23 yrs (& counting) & "occasional" breeder, having raised my own family I am not a presence in the show ring (anymore) ..we insist that our own Boxer's are first & foremost family pets, ..& having dragged a reluctant dog round the ringcraft floor (literally) I see his point, dogs keen to show tend to be show-offs from the outset!
My second Boxer (another Santonoaks) had a good degree of success in the ring & qualified for Crufts, unfortunately a severe car crash immediately prior to Crufts resulted in me bowing out of the competition, so who know's!? ..all I can say is bad timing & bad luck! ..some things are just not meant to be, & having moved away from London to the edge of the fens became harder to justify juggling with my full time job within specialist nursing.
Our dogs bloodlines come from some of the top showing dogs of the past 10 years, however we believe in careful monitoring of genetic diversity & not bringing bloodlines too close together... basically animals come first!
The sire to our current pairing "Mitch" aka "First mate" is via "Norwatch Sunhawk" breeders who did exceptionally well at Crufts this year (2012).
Mitch is a flashy Dark Brindle & white dog.
His Brother & sister from a previous mating (repeat), both placed 1st in "special yearling" for dog & Bitch.
Mitch's sire, "WALKON MADE'N ISSUE" gained the reserve c.c. ticket within male boxer dogs (second place) on a well fought group.
Mitch is typical of Norwatch dogs, both in type & temperament, namely well constructed throughout, lots of bone, lovely free movement , good head & eye. ..a real gentleman in the making.
Millie (dam) "SANTANOAKS STUCK ON YOU" classic Santonoaks lineage, a beautiful colour dominant deep red bitch from renowned international judge Annabel Zammit, purchased specifically for her bloodlines & breed potential.
Santonoaks are a pillarstone of the boxer breed over the past 30 odd years having enjoyed superb success, but are sadly less well known now due to the kennel owners ill health, so whilst not present in the show ring, their winning blood lines are everywhere over 5 + generations pedigree certificates, as an international show judge Annabel applies her critical eye to send the breed forward, she is laying down a lasting legacy.
Despite not competing in recent years I have been consistently tutored by both Isobel Edison (Vizage) championship show judge, & Annabel Zammit (Santonoaks kennel, Boxer bitch breed judge crufts 2012) with whom I am in regular contact with, therefore would describe my interests as:
.."An eye for the breed,..an eye on the breed(s) future"
As an occasional breeder this is only our 3rd ever litter, it having taken me 18 years of ownership to satisfy myself I knew the breed & what I was doing, & aiming for from a litter.
All our dogs are born, whelped & raised in a home environment. Our dogs are first & foremost family members who share our home with us. they are not show or breeding stock, nor living in kennels. When we do choose to have a litter they too are raised in our home in a busy family environment, being well socialised and continually handled, thus contributing to their good natured characteristics, playing with both mum & dad (sire) & our young daughter they are socialised & introduced to car travel at an early age to reduce the chance of an "overwhelmed" uncomfortable puppy.
Our Pups are KC registered.Both Sire & dam are from good strong heart tested lineage.

Within the following pages are a few current photo's, we'll be updating the 2012 litter photo's plus sire & dam's backgrounds accordingly
Please feel free to ask questions, understanding a dogs needs & reasoning is not always obvious, best to ask & gain in knowledge than to risk the health & welfare of a family member!
Hope to speak to you soon!
