Tanner head study at 10 months
After we brought Sparrow home, I became nothing less than obsessed with studying the breed. As I looked at boxers from all over the world, I kept reviewing the standard. Over and over I was drawn to the UK dogs. I dreamt of owning one, but I never thought that it would happen, let alone a "red" boy! Tanner is 3/4 UK & 1/4 North American and we think it is a lovely blend.
A special thank you goes to Margie Burton for making that dream a reality.
Tanner has a lovely personality. If we had to choose one word to describe him, it would be "Happy". He is always happy, wagging his tail, eager to please. This boy is very special to us. He is our little prince of the castle. He stands 24 inches high, right in the middle of the standard.

New Int'l. Champion / Best Of Breed photo at IABCA show in Santa Rosa, California 2009
The weekend of May 30-31, 2009 we traveled to Santa Rosa, CA for the 2009 Golden State Spring Sieger. We were thrilled at how well our little Tanner did.
He was owner-handled at all four shows.
May 30, 2009 - Best of Breed under Judge Ann Hennigan of Canada
May 30, 2009 - Best of Breed under Breeder-Judge Diane Mallett
May 31, 2009 - Best of Breed under Judge Juliann Kowalsky
One week before Tanner's second birthday he was awarded the title International Champion through IABCA and UCI.
Some comments from judges about Tanner:
typey and square; beautifully balanced; very nice reach and drive;
very nice chest; great topline; correct front and rear angulation; correct tail set
Well put together young dog. Shows potential.

Tanner repeatedly placed in ribbons through the puppy classes with some very nice competition. I would especially like to thank his handler, Pete Ventura, for teaching Tanner "the ropes".
