Hi, my name is Josie O'Reilly and am located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  I am known to some as a bit of a Boxer fanatic!  I spend most of my spare time training, showing, handling and doting upon my Boxers. Our Boxers are all a part of our family and live in our home, often times there is no room on the furniture for us! They also travel with us on family vacations as much as possible. When we make a decision to keep a Boxer puppy in our home, they are with us FOREVER!  All of our litters have been temperament tested including the Boxers remaining in our home whom have also all taken formal Obedience training starting with Puppy Kindergarten at a very young age and onto classes in another performance activity (e.g., Agility, Rally-O, Scent Hurdle Racing...etc) whether or not they go on to achieve the titles. We believe in formal training, in a class environment, as it not only enhances the bond between owner and dog but also provides a fun & structured manner to socialize your Boxer.

We do not breed often, a breeding is only considered when we are ready to add another Boxer to our household. I also enjoy: keeping in touch, staying involved with, providing advice, support and help with training, as much as is possible for the lifetime of all Boxers that I have produced as well as the Boxers that are sired by our males. Since I don't breed often I am  willing to provide breed information & referrals to responsible breeders (as opposed to back yard breeders) that may have upcoming litters or available puppies.

NOTE: Our dogs are screened for the following health conditions prior to breeding:
            - sub-aortic stenosis (heart condition) by board certified cardiologists
           - Boxer cardiomyopathy - Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Mutation (ARVC) (heart condition)
           - Hip Dysplasia (OFA)
           - Hypothyroidism
           - Eyes (CERF)
           - Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)


I am a member of the :
American Boxer Club (since 2006)
Alberta Boxer Club (ABC) (since 1992)
Boxer Club of Canada (BCC) (since 1995)
Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) (since 1993)
Northern Alberta Canine Association (NACA) (1993-2005)
Canadian Scent Hurdle Racing Association and the Alberta Scent Hurdle Racing Association (past member).

My hobbies are running, antiques, old houses, flower gardening, reading, drinking my husband's coffee from his own fresh coffee beans roasted almost daily, dog shows & activities (Obedience, Conformation, Agility), continually educating myself  about dog behaviour, genetics, health, nutrition, & Boxers... but most of all spending time with my Boxers.
