​Please email me at affirmlakelands@gmail.com for a questionnaire if you are interested in a puppy

​Upon completing a questionnaire, I will keep it on file. If a puppy becomes available, this is where I look to find contact information on interested homes.
  
I do not breed often but when I do I take our litters very seriously. The goal of the AFFIRM Kennels breeding program is to develop a line of Boxers that will improve the overall health of the breed while conforming to the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club Breed Standard, in both temperament and physical characteristics (conformation).  Since some of my puppies are placed as companions in loving homes, I need to make sure that they will live long, happy and healthy lives. I believe every breeding should be done to create dogs with a purpose and I have a life commitment to each dog I breed.  I am a life member of the Alberta Boxer Club and member of the Canadian Kennel Club and subscribe to their code of ethics. Owning one of my puppies is a 10+ year commitment to continue the work I have done in producing a quality dog. It is true that no breeder can 100% guarantee the health of any animal but, through careful breeding standards, testing all breeding stock and genetic screening, I make every effort to avoid any problems. Since I am not running a "volume kennel" I can be very selective in planning the direction of the Affirm line and are proud of the puppies I produce.Things you should be aware of if desiring one of my puppies is a few of my philosophies and expectations:

• The feeding of a RAW diet or a processed diet (kibble) approved by us
• Limited vaccines and the use of titres to determine immune strength
• Avoiding early spay/neuter protocols allowing our puppies the opportunity to grow properly
• All pet puppies are sold on non-breeding contracts and show puppies are sold on agreed upon contracts
• Follow up with us at least yearly or expect us to follow up with you

My puppies are not “one size fits all”. Not every puppy will be right for every owner. Boxer are a high energy and active breed with high intelligence. Learn as much as you can about Boxers before taking one into your household. All potential puppy owners are asked to fill out a questionnaire before being considered for one of our puppies.  Please email us for a questionnaire. For  "show prospects", please contact me separately to discuss the additional requirements involved.
