| Left pictured me and my first boxer Jesse (Wanjoren Barro - Tonilan Katinka) on first of May 1968. Jesse was the beginning of a never ending story... He was far away from a beautyful boxer, and not very healthy either, not very easy to handle, but he was the most handsome dog I ever seen and I loved him. With the aid of and thanks to older boxerowners he soon became a good behaving boxer. |

| In 1969, as a fifteen year old girl, I spent my summer as kennel maid in a big kennel with both own breeding and training school for problem family dogs. In spring the next year, after convincing my parents, I already had my first female boxer, a quality puppy, Hobby-Box Lady-Luck (Snorrehus Ibb - Jukonharjun Hobbledehoy). She made her first trophies in the puppy classes and was one of the most winning boxers in Finland at the time. The next summer I spent my summer holiday in Marikarlos boxer kennel in Sweden accompanied by "Lucky". That summer was most important for me as future breeder; I will never ever forget the time there, educated by these skilled breeders even though my "Lucky" was a devil, always runnig away and when locked up in my room, went out on the balcony and jumped in through the window into my host's bedroom and after making a disaster, jumping through the window again and down from the balcony on the second floor causing a big fight down on the yard with the boxers of the house and never had a scratch. That very same summer "Lucky" also suprised by winning BOB and BIS-3 on a high quality show just on front of the noses of the Marikarlos boxers! After all this they even payed me as agreed and employed me for the following summer!! This time accompanied back home by a young puppy, Marikarlos �-Leda (CH Witherford Paprika - Kerberos Leda), later to become a Norwegian champion. Today more than 30 years later I am still going on......... |
