This page is dedicated to Laymani Boxers of the past. Some have retired, living the good life, and some are waiting for us on the other side. Here we can remember them all.
Laymani Boxers in Retirement...
- 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.

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 and much larger than Momma.
- We kept a Diana/Duke puppy (Notte) in Fall
2008 and Lollipop in Spring 2011.
- Diana retired in February 2011 and was placed with Brenda at the end of the year. She lives locally and has a Boxer boy for extra company.

- Raptures Grand Amelia is an AKC-registered, Flashy Brindle and has a large frame. Amelia currently weighs around 65 pounds. Her good manners and winning personality 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.
Above photos are of Amelia with her Laymani Family...lots of dogs, lots of acres, and lots of love.
We kept an Amelia/Thurman puppy in 2009. Rumor has become Thurman's replacement.
Miss Amelia was spayed at just under 4 years old and found her Laymani Family about a year later.
- Daisy
- Daisy is a beautiful AKC-registered Flashy Fawn with a playful attitude and an athletic build. She loves attention and is always ready to cuddle.
- Daisy had one litter of
puppies with Laymani and was placed with a Family in Colorado.
We kept Daisy/Duke puppies, Jessie and Daisy, for
the Laymani program.
Lil Miss Sissy is a Flashy Fawn female with a Full White Collar and Black Mask. She weighs at least 65 pounds and is a husky, boxy girl. We brought her into our family for her strong, yet feminine looks and her warm disposition. When we think of Sissy, the first word that comes to mind is "sweet".
Sissy had her last puppies in the fall of 2008 at about 4.5 years old. She was spayed at the beginning of 2009 and placed with a Laymani Family. Now, she dresses up for football games and plays with her own little girl.

Laymani Warrior Zena is a husky Fawn Female with Black Mask and some White Markings. She's a calm girl, who loves to play fetch and is quite the athlete. When Zena arrived at Laymani Boxers, she took to the play yard with zest, built more muscle and dropped all her babyfat. She was always the leader of our pack and currently weighs over 60 pounds. Zena's puppies are athletes from the very beginning, just like Mom. Click for more Zena photos
Zena was retired at about 5 years old, fixed and placed with a Laymani Family in our local area.
Laymani Jasmine (Jazzy) is a Flashy Fawn female with Full White Collar. Agile and light on her feet, she is absolutely feminine and gorgeous. She loves attention and is known as "Auntie Jazzy" because of the way she adopted Sissy's Christmas '06 puppies. Now that she has had her own puppies, she has proven herself to be a great Mom. Jazzy weighs around 65 pounds and was retired at 3.5 years old.

area and next door to one

In Memory of Laymani Boxers who have passed on...
Echo was a sweet, goofy Flashy Fawn. Playful, gentle, and quiet, she was always ready to romp around. We bought Echo as a young adult and never had puppies with her.
Miss Echo passed in the summer of 2011.
- Isabel was Flashy Dark Brindle Thurman/Sophie puppy with that Linebacker look. We held her in our hands when she was born and still miss her terribly.
- Our Isabel passed from an accident
in late spring 2010.

- Dutchess was a young AKC Brindle with Black Mask and White Markings from a Champion lineage. She was the largest girl at Laymani Boxers and weighed well over 70 pounds. A love-bucket, looking for attention most of the time, Dutchess and Thurman had puppies 5 July 2008. We lost our "Dutch" to surgical complications about a week after she had her puppies. She gave her puppies a good start in life, and we are always going to miss her.
Those "flying wing" ears are the result of cropping initiated by her original owner. The taping wasn't successfully completed, so her ears didn't stand, but our Grand Dame didn't seem to mind and neither did we.

- Mara was a beautiful AKC Brindle from a Champion lineage. She was husky at close to 70 pounds but had not yet reached breeding age. She loved to romp and play with all the other Laymanis and was shaping up to be our pride. Unfortunately, we lost her in a tragic collar accident. Since then, Laymanis don't wear collars unless they are under direct human supervision.
Mara's passing was in 2007, but Denise and I are both still torn about how we lost her.
