In 1968, I received my first Boxer as a wedding present. Surfside Mt. Rambler, CD, known as "Major" was imported from England. He was a grandson of the great American export, Rainey Lanes' Sirrocco. He was bred by Mr. Don Starkweather and was purchased in the late 1950's by well known English breeder, Marion Fairbrothers of "Summerdale Kennels". Little did I know then, the impact of my beginning, thur my life with Boxers.

I became involved in Obedience and in 1972, "Major" and I received our CD obedience title. I then purchased our first show/breeding bitch, (Arriba) Hampstead's Que Sera Sera, "Hunny". I became an obedience instructor for 4-H, the local YMCA and one of the original founders of the Old Colony Obedience Club. Over the next 10 years trained and campaigned many of my own dogs in both Breed and Obedience. In 1985 purchased Ch RajRs' Brettendale Love Maker, CD SCHHI, "Cody" from Bob and Betty Jo Phillips of Brettendale Kennels. He went on to be one of the Top 20 dog in the expert hands of handler Carmen Skinner and he was also the 1st American Champion to be honored and awarded a SCHHI title, with pronounced courage.

Sirrocco Kiss 'N Tell, owned by Mrs. Kathleen Gould, was the success of my breeding program today. Kathleen's theatrical interest of "Shakespeare" was the selected theme and plays welcomed each litter following. I hope you enjoy my new Website and the "Performance".....................Curtain up!

In 1982 I received my Master Trainer Certification for Service and Assistance Dog for the Physically Handicapped. My demonstration dog to educate the public was a Samoyed rescue who we named "Buddy". During that time, I opened my kennel facility, "Sirrocco Kennels", in July 1989, in New Hampshire. Internships for American and foreign students to apprentice here in the USA, one coming as far as Spain and another a Vet student. My interest and knowledge lead me to instituting many Obedience Training Programs and Handling Classes all over the world from Alaska to Italy. As a Show dog handler/trainer, I finished many dogs from the Working, Hound, Sporting and Non-Sporting Groups. Today, continue to breed Boxers and present them to the Boxer fancy.
