Welcome,

Our first Boxer was purchased as a companion in 1976, he was a red & white male called Linmeath Onieda, we attended a small local show and were given lots of encouragement from fellow exhibitors & his breeder. Needless to say the show bug got us right there and then. We soon realised that he wasn't good enough for the showring, (although we did win a Reserve Best in Show with him!) and so, we set about searching for our first show bitch.

(Breeder Mrs. Betty Wilson)

Sire: Surfstone Counterstrike x Bywell Apache Princess


After reading Boxer books and making a few phone calls, we had made an appointment to see a bitch puppy 'Mandine Lucky Pick'. The breeding of this bitch was mainly 'Wardrobes' This was to be our foundation bitch!

 

Mandine Lucky Pick of Abythorn

'Lucky Pick' certainly lived up to her name, she was rarely out of the placings at Championship shows, and won our very first red card at The British Boxer Club Championship Show. Three years later she produced our first home bred show winner, Abythorn Secret Agent J.W.

'Abythorn Secret Agent' went on to produce our first Champion 'Ch. Investigator of Abythorn'

'Investigator' although not used extensively at stud, produced Champion Skelder Singing Sleuth' for Mrs. Joy Malcolm of the famous 'Skelder Boxers'. Investigator also sired 'Abythorn Mooonlightin at Carmondene' who won 2 Res CC's.

Investigator twice represented our kennel at the 'Cotswold Boxer Club Dog of the Year Finals'


Showing practically ceased during the '90's, due to family upheaval, but has now recommenced here in Essex in 2004, with the arrival of our exciting litter sired by Int. and World Ch. Perico Du Val D' Europe'. We have now combined the best UK lines with the top producing European lines, and hope exciting times are ahead. Using the best bloodlines in Europe and the UK will not be a one off venture, this is a long term project to try and recapture some of the features we in the UK have lost or are losing. We hope to bring good shoulders, forechest, correct mouths and good hips ... we can only try!
