We value our previous line.
Because of the English/German influence our boxers have natural ears. It is possible
to crop the English and German boxer ear, however, a much longer taping
period must be anticipated. Currently, the tails of puppies are cropped upon request.
Private puppy owners are encouraged to exhibit and title our boxers.
We carefully aim to place and match our boxers with the new owner.
We will only show you the boxer and/or boxer puppy we feel comfortable discussing with you.
Regardless of age, we will match the boxer to the new owner. And, since
we do listen to our boxers, we will also give the boxer an opportunity
to accept or reject a potential owner. A young, adult and even a puppy
boxer may express at the time of introduction acceptance or rejection of a potential new owner.
Guaranties:
We regret that we can no longer give guaranties to our puppy and adult boxer owners. The ongoing
increase in AR activities by animal activists/terrorists on the American continent is the main reason for
terminating our guaranties. In addition, the current guidelines of the CVMA (Canadian Veterinary Medical Association)
and AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) which were officially adopted at the 2001 Veterinarian Medical
World Congress (held in August 2001 in Vancouver Canada) although, practised well over a decade before 2001,
permit veterinarians to jeopardize the health of the registered dog. We strongly recommend that our boxer
owners gain basic medical veterinary knowledge and check every diagnosis by their vet before accepting
treatment and/or medication for the boxer. We request that owners of our boxers refrain from purchasing
over-the-counter flea or worm programs. The programs are being sold over the counter in veterinary clinics
with recommendations by the vet. However, the damage to your boxer from those programs will be permanent
and irreversible. If you aim to enjoy a healthy dog, please follow our advice.
Stud Service:
We do NOT offer stud service from Camano's imported
German boxer breeding line to boxers of American/Canadian breeding lines. NO stud service will be made
available to boxers transferred/imported through brokers (International or American brokers)
onto the American continent. Stud service will NOT be made available to the progeny of imported brokers' dogs.
Approved pedigrees will be checked for compatibility and Zuchtwert.
We do accept questions from children about the boxer dog. We aim to educate the future
generation with the goal to create respect for the boxer dog. We will be delighted to
answer your questions. However, if you are under 18 years of age and wish to acquire a boxer,
please have a parent contact us.
The following questionnaire has been based on the current situation dominating the American
continent, that is the hostile social climate aiming to destroy the purebred registered dog.
If you are serious about the purebred registered boxer, we need to know if we can trust you
with a boxer. We need to know if you are capable of protecting your boxer.
We ask for your understanding in answering the questions. Please feel free
to add your own comments.

A secure fence height depends on the ability of your boxer to scale it. A four month old boxer puppy can walk up a 6 feet high chain
link fence without difficulty within seconds. An adult boxer may scale, climb or jump an 8 feet high fence.)
Do not leave your boxer unattended for a minute in a yard which does not have a secure fence!

and refrain from walking your boxer on the grounds where these dogs mingle. Do not leave your dog in boarding kennels where dogs
are allowed to mingle.(falsely called socializing).

Note:
Decades of genetic research have gone into producing a healthy litter free of faults
that includes a litter free of testicle faults. Only a small percentage of selective matings produce fault free litters. Male and female
puppies are equally affected in a litter. Generations of selective breeding from both, healthy male and healthy female boxers can
produce a fault free litter. We have spent years of education, money, effort and long hours to reach our goals. If you plan on chopping
the testicles off a healthy puppy or spaying a healthy puppy female because you have been subjected on the American continent to the
brainwashing and the "humane" mass hypnosis of rendering a dog useless through mutilation, please get yourself a stuffed dog
from the toy store instead! You can operate on it whenever you like! If you are an irresponsible owner who can only live with an
abused and mutilated dog, forget about contacting us.
We will not give you a puppy!
End of Note.
Upon receiving the above information, we will check the data and contact you via email with our
comments and further questions.
Basic Conditions - please read! ......... You must own a crate.
The new puppy owner must provide Camano with the required health test results (performed at your expense before your boxer reaches the age of 30 months).

results. Veterinarians performing the tests must be approved by Camano.
Serious dog owners only, please read:
