We are a small home based kennel located on a beautiful country property, away from the noise, pollution and stress of the city. As breeders and exhibitors of show Boxers, we pride ourselves in caring for our boarders in the same manner with which we care for our own show dogs, offering them top-notch care. We board a limited number of dogs at one time. Many of our clients are return clients who feel secure in the knowledge that their babies will be well taken care of during their absence.To see some of our past boarders, click here.

All shots must be up to date for the health and safety of all of our boarders, no exceptions! Please see the guidelines below for information on the shots required.
We recommend that your reservations be made in advance during holidays and summer vacation season.
Boarding guidelines:
-Vaccinations: Make sure your pet's vaccinations are up to date. All boarders are required to have a current Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Kennel cough ( Bordetella ) vaccine. For the health and safety of all our boarders, there will be no exceptions. Proof of vaccination is a MUST. If your pet is not current, vaccines must be administered at least 14 days prior to his stay with us. Bordetella must have been administered no more than 6 months prior to boarding.
-To avoid digestive upset and because dogs do better on a consistent diet, provide your own food properly labelled with you dog's name and quantities fed at each meal.
-Anything special we should know about your pet such as unusual behavior, likes or dislikes, let us know.
-Provide emergency contact numbers in the event of a medical emergency.
-Provide a blanket and/or toy from home with your smell on them to make your pet feel more at home. Keep in mind
that your pet may damage it during his stay.
-Don't act too anxious before boarding, as this may affect your dog who can easily sense stress. Keep good-byes
happy and low-key.
