At Laymani Boxers, our girls spend the last part of each pregnancy and the time spent raising puppies right in the house. When we don't have puppies, we rotate our females in and out to ensure that they remember how to behave indoors. Our adults are under regular veterinarian care. We value her advice and professional service, so innoculations and tests are all performed at her clinic. All are routinely treated with heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative. Any outside additions to our line are housed separately until cleared and immediately tested for heartworm, parasites, and brucellosis (as appropriate). During their first visit to our vet, they are brought up-to-date on rabies shots and innoculations. They are also weighed and receive a general physical. The Laymani Boxers live as a natural community, romping within a 60x90 outside enclosure. They have an adjacent, freely accessible, 16x24 heated indoor space for sleeping and cold weather. Walks happen on the back-forty acres, a mile-long journey through grassland, surrounded by forest. Females in estrus, near whelping or feeding puppies need outside exercise, but protection from rough play, so we also have two smaller enclosed areas surrounding two 10x10 shaded kennels with filtered water and wood-chip-cushioned doghouses. Their diet consists of a premium dry dog food and a selection of raw meaty bones (RMB), plus NuVet supplement tabs. Pregnant and lactating females receive an additional calcium supplement. We feel that varying their routine and their food, while providing lots of loving human interaction, makes for happy, healthy Boxers! Click here for photos of our Boxers at play. |

Notte is from Diana and Duke. Please see their pedigrees for more information. |
|
|
Duke is a young AKC-registered and DNA-tested Brindle male with Black Mask and White Markings from a Champion lineage. He behaves well with children, puppies, and cats...though the cats may not show a similar friendliness. Still mostly puppy, he displays as much goofiness as possible. Duke is really active, so though he is a big boy and we have him on full feed, he weighs about 75 pounds. Click for more Duke photos. |

We kept an Amelia/Thurman puppy in 2009. Rumor is intended to be Thurman's replacement. |

Whisper Wood's Princess Diana is an AKC-registered Reverse Brindle with some White Markings and a Champion lineage, mostly from the Boxella line. She is a bit smaller than our other girls, around 55 pounds, but has a beautiful square, boxy look. Diana loves to stand on top of her doghouse to get the big view. She's another sweet, huggy Boxer, who loves her people. Notte, our young Sealed Reverse Brindle girl, is one of Diana's puppies. |

Hollywoods Kahlua "n" Cream Khaliah is an AKC-registered Flashy Fawn with Black Mask and White Markings from a Champion lineage. Like Diana, she has a smaller frame than our other girls. Kali weighs around 50 pounds. She dances all over the place and reminds me of Sissy with her beautiful square, boxy look. |
|
|
Kali is a great Mom. She excels all the way from birthing to puppy care. |
