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.

- Laymani Buio Notte
- (Dark Night)
- Notte
is a Sealed Reverse Brindle with White Markings. A Sealed Reverse Brindle looks nearly black, but
you should always see fawn somewhere in the coat. When
you get close-up, you can see a couple fawn markings on
Notte's body and at the sides of her neck.
- A Duke/Diana puppy from our own program, Notte's frame is already as big as our biggest female Boxer. She's well-behaved, playful, laid-back, and a really good companion for the other Boxers.
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.
Behaving for the moment...
...enough of that.
Wait... I'll get that!
Glad to meet ya!

- Laymani Baby Sophia is no longer a little girl! She's an AKC-registered Flashy Reverse Brindle and weighs over 65 pounds. Handpicked as a baby, Sophie grew up at Laymani Boxers and is absolutely spoiled. Sophie's mother was the largest mahogany fawn that we have ever seen.
Sophie's first litter of "Linebackers" were all husky. Genevieve is one of her puppies.
- Raptures Grand Amelia is our newest Laymani. She's AKC-registered, Flashy Brindle and has a large frame. Amelia currently weighs just over 60 pounds, and we expect her to finish around 65 pounds. Her good manners and winning personality have quickly found her a place in our hearts. Amelia's mother and father live in Michigan, where her father is an Agility competitor. Her grandfather lived far beyond a Boxer's expected years.
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.
Oct2008 - Diana is 6 weeks pregnant in the above photos.
How long do you expect me to hold that ear up?

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.
- Rumor
- Laymani Thurms Rumoroso is an AKC-registered Brindle Male with Black Mask and White Markings. At 13 months, he is larger than Duke in frame and already weighs over 65 pounds. He will continue to put on weight for over a year. Rumor loves to please and is a big huggy-bug like his Daddy.
- Genevieve
- Laymani Babys Sophia Genevieve is an AKC-registered Fawn Female with Black Mask and White Markings. She has a large frame and will continue to put on weight for another year. "Gen" loves her people and she loves to play. Notte and Rumor are her best buddies.
Genevieve at 14 Months.
- Thurman is one biiiig Boxer, but because he is well-proportioned, his size really doesn't show in most photos. He is displaying some gray around his muzzle, but he still loves long walks on the back forty acres and playing with our grandson Jacob (his kid). He has thrown some big, beautiful puppies, who can be seen on the Families pages. Thurman attempted a brief retirement in 2008 but hasn't been able to resist a little part-time work. We matched him with Notte in 2010...and now it looks like final retirement.
- Kristie&Brian's Thirsty Thurman is a husky 110-pound AKC-registered Brindle male with Black Mask and White Markings. His breeder was working toward loving, good-looking, sound Boxers. Thurman exemplifies his efforts, a great big love-puppy. His big head and chest, symmetrical Brindle markings and Black Mask are striking. Thurman is our daughter's baby and lives just across the pasture. He topped out over 120 pounds in the fall of 2007 from excess pancakes and leftovers but has since worked back toward his best weight.
