Welcome
to MarTrav Boxers. We are located in Arundel, Maine, twenty minutes south
of Portland and five minutes from Kennebunkport.
My love
for this wonderful breed started back in March of 1995 when I purchased
my first Boxer, "Mindy”. Although she wasn't a "show dog", she was
my PRIDE AND JOY. She was always with me through thick and thin.
Always by my side, she just waited for my next move. Of course she
just loved all the attention and enjoyed cleaning my floor of crumbs that
may have dropped. Mindy left us in 2007 at the age of 13 years and
9 months. The joy we shared was very happy years for both of us!
Later
in October of 2002, I purchased my second Boxer, "Magic". She was
such a joy to have around. What ever she did made you laugh.
At this
point in my life, I knew where I wanted to be and so began my search.
In June
of 2003, I purchased my male "Hunter". He was everything I was looking
for. His temperament was and still is exceptional. Needless
to say, I was hooked and very excited about the future. Hunter finished
his championship rather quickly and has had some wonderful wins including
owner handled Best of Breeds and group placing.
While
Hunter was out showing, our handler came across a black brindle bitch.
We could not resist as she was beautiful and had wonderful qualities.
She has two get in the ring now and they are the beginning of MarTrav Boxers.
One of these girls has already thrilled us with a BPIS and numerous Best
Puppy’s.
I am
very dear to the breed striving to breed according to the "Boxer Standard”
set forth by the ABC and believe in health testing to produce healthy,
happy puppies. I do not breed often and when I do, it is to produce
my own show prospect. All of my pet/companion pups are sold on a
limited registration with a spay/neuter contract.
My dogs
are pets first and show dogs second. They live in my home not an
outside kennel.
I hope
you enjoy your visit. Please feel free to inquire with any questions
or comments.
