About Wigglin Boxers
Wigglin Boxers was registered with the Canadian Kennel Club in 1996. Our goal is to produce boxers who conform to the CKC Boxer Standard, who are able to produce the same. Our focus is on breeding healthy boxers of championship quality, competitive in a worldwide arena. Our boxers are our companions first and foremost, and have definitely wiggled their way to our hearts forever, hence the kennel name Wigglin.
Our acreage is located 15 minutes South of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and within 45 minutes of Calgary International Airport.
All of our boxers are raised and live their lives indoors with us, and have acres of land to run and play, study the abundant wildlife, or just hang out. They are sound in temperament and conformation, are healthy and strong, and are wonderful examples of the breed.
We are passionately committed to breeding only the very best Boxers, with the purpose of improvement over each generation. Our breeding program entails carefully combining the best of bloodlines from all over the world, and it is only by doing so that our vision will become reality. We believe each continent has more or less diverged to their own “Type” of boxer, each reliably offering different desirable traits, as well as genetic diversity.
All our breeding stock has passed health testing for cardiac abnormalities, hip displaysia, thyroid function, immunization levels, and food allergies. Temperaments are tested for working ability, drive, play, defense, loyalty, and sweetness. Conformation to the standard is confirmed through competition and the awarding of titles, and the opinions of a select few very respected boxer breeders.
We love our boxers, and provide them with the best environment possible, and expect the same from the owners of our puppies. We breed very seldom and homes are selected to match the puppies’ temperament and potential. All puppies are sold on a co-ownership until final determination of use for breeding is completed, those not used for breeding are then spayed/neutered.
Constantly learning through research and attending all breed shows and Boxer specialties, and talking with judges and breeders world wide, we are thankful to those who have helped along the way—but we are especially grateful to Monika & Walter Pinsker of Mephisto Boxers, and Nora McGriskin of Aracrest Boxers, not only for the invaluable education and hospitality they have shown us, but for producing some of the world’s finest Boxers.
We are proud to present our Boxers on the following web pages. We hope you enjoy your visit and welcome all inquires.
