WELCOME TO ALCANCE BOXERS! 

Thank you for taking a look at our boxers and their humans! 

There's plenty of information in the following pages about our Boxers, what we as breeders aspire to and of course plenty of photos.  If you would like to know more, please make a date and come to see us at a dog show or contact us via email or on the mobile to visit the kennel.

Our girl "Juno" (Alcance Corus) and "Fletcher"(Ch. Kesdar Riding High, SOM) welcomed their pups on 5 December 2011.  Please go to our "Available Pups" page for more information.  You can visit Juno at home, and view pictures of Fletcher here: http://www.kesdarboxers.com/boxers.html#fletcher.

If you'd like to be considered for any of our pups, please send us an email.  We will then send heaps more info to you about who we are, what our boxers are like and what they need in order to be happy.  Please note that we don't keep a wait list nor do we take deposits until pups are born.  However, we do remember those who have visited with us, or called to "talk boxer".

Here at Alcance Boxers, we actively update our canine breeding, behaviour and training knowledge.  Following is a sample of the  continuing education we have undertaken. 

• In June 2009 & October 2010, Jill attended the first two webinars given by Dr Kathryn Muers, Small animal Cardiac Specialist, DVM detaling the discovery of the ARVC-1 gene in Boxers, and explanation of best practice in relation to managing a breeding breeding program with regard to cardiomyopathy in the breed.  More information about Boxer Cardiomyopathy can be found here: www.cvm.ncsu.edu/vhc/csds/vcgl/boxer-arvc.html   &  www.youtube.com/watch

• Later in June 2009, Frank, Jill and Emilia attended the first ever Cesar Milan seminar in Melbourne.
   
• In September 2011, Frank & Jill attended the K9 Pro Seminar "Training in Drive", held at Bendigo, run by Steve Courtney - Nationally Accredited Dog Obedience Trainer, Law Enforcement Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviourist. More info about this program can be found here: www.k9pro.com.au 
   
• Coming up In February 2012, all of us humans at ALCANCE will attend the three day seminar conducted by Dr Ian Dunbar, PhD, BSc, BVetMed, MRCVS, CPDT, CAAB. Veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and dog trainer, Dr. Ian Dunbar received his veterinary degree and a Special Honors degree in Physiology & Biochemistry from the Royal Veterinary College (London University) plus a doctorate in animal behavior from the Psychology Department at UC Berkeley.  He has authored numerous books and DVDs about puppy/dog behavior and training, including How To Teach A New Dog Old Tricks and the SIRIUS® Puppy Training video. In 1982, Dr. Dunbar designed and taught the world’s very first off-leash puppy socialization and training classes — SIRIUS® Puppy Training. Over the past 40 years, Ian has given over 1000 one-day seminars and workshops for dog trainers and veterinarians in an effort to popularize off-leash puppy socialization classes, temperament modification, and owner-friendly and dog-friendly dog training.

We are all quite excited about this weekend of full-on learning in canine behaviour and application. 

In the showring however, we believe that the good behaviour of our boxers is a credit to Emilia & Zac; They are both fantastic handlers!

 @Alcance Boxers, it's For the Love of the Breed - Always !!!

NB:  We also actively campaign to Close Puppy Mills and encourage the state government of Victoria to bring in Oscars Law.
