We at Soleil do not take breeding lightly, nor do we plan on breeding often, as space will limit the number
of dogs we can keep in our home. Our dogs are pets first, show dogs second. They are on our couches, in our beds,
and they often share bites of our food too! Our dogs are a part of our family; they go everywhere with us, and we would
not have it any other way.
That being said, our goals when we do decide to breed, will be to better the breed. We hope that with
each breeding, the next generation, will be better than the last. Careful planning goes into each litter, taking
into consideration health, temperment and of course, conformation. We breed in hopes for our next generation of
show pups, (conformation and obediance/agility).
Realistically, not every puppy in every litter will make it to the show ring. Those puppies will be placed
in carefully screened pet homes on spay/neuter contracts and limited AKC registration ("limited" meaning no offspring will
be eligible to be registered with AKC). The reason for this being there is an over abundance of boxers in rescues
and shelters in need of homes. We do not want any dogs we produce to end up in rescue, or their offspring
for that matter. All puppies that leave our home, show or companion, will also leave on the understanding that
if for any reason, the original owner can no longer care for their Soleil boxer, they will make every effort to contact us
first, and return the dog to us.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our breeding philosophies.
