Information About Us

Minna Nousiainen-Becher Chris Becher	KIITOS! for your interest in our working boxers! My husband and I want to welcome you to our pages!
	I have been in Boxers since 1989, I started with conformation dogs. I helped out at a Finnish boxer breeder kennel. I moved to the USA in 1991 winter, bred my first boxer "Mafi" to an American bred boxer and got my first dog that I worked in Schutzhund "Ringo." I imported a bitch from a Finnish boxer kennel, "Kia" the working dog. Along the way I helped out at a conformation boxer breeder here in the states. I worked at a boarding and grooming kennel for over six years as a groomer and kennel helper. I got married and now have three children. I am currently grooming dogs and teaching obedience.
	My husband Chris was introduced to the world of Schutzhund by me with my local club (Fox Valley Police & Schutzhund Club) in December 2000, and he started training my then 3 year old male boxer "Pomo" in spring 2001. That year they as a team accomplished BH at the Regionals. They also got their TR1 at the USA-BOX Championships that same year! Chris was voted the best improved handler that year by FVP&SC. Since then he put SchH1 on "Pomo", and BH and SchH1 on his dog "Diesel". Chris has learned to be a very good helper. He is safe and has great stamina. We are very dedicated members of the O.G. Bierstadt Schutzhund Club and both work at Steinig Tal Police K9 Academy.
	We believe German/European-line Boxers are true working dogs. Their ability to do the work is proven. With the right dog you can accomplish just about anything! We also compete in AKC events (Obedience, Agility, and Tracking).
	Small home set breeding. We really go far with our pups as for socializing. Having three kids itself is a good thing. We do biosensor testing at an early age. Our pups get exposed to almost everything (elevators, tarps, tunnels, different surfaces, camping if weather permits, etc.). They are well exposed to car rides and seeing lots of people and places. We are one of the only BHOT (Breeder, Handler, Owner Trained) boxer breeders in the country.
	Our pups are practically housebroken when they go to their new homes. We get up during the night to let them out by four weeks. At age 5-6 weeks, we separate our pups at night; first in two's and then separately. When they are ready to leave they won't miss each other as much. We also tattoo and/or microchip our pups.
	If you are interested in our pups, please contact us.
