Having
always been dog lovers, we had different breeds of dogs until
we got our first Boxer (not pedigreed) in 1979. Sheila was
given to us as an adult bitch, as her previous owners had
badly abused her for eating Guinea pigs on their plot. She
crept into our hearts and when she died, no other breed of
dog than a Boxer could take her place.
We got our second Boxer and first registered
bitch, Vatica’s Cindy at 14 months of age. Cindy’s
owners were an elderly couple who couldn’t handle her
boisterous nature and so had to find a new home for her. On
31 July 1989 we got Kazandi’s Rufus who was also registered
with the Federation of Boxer Clubs of Southern Africa. We
mated Rufus and Cindy and had our first Boxer litter on 6
January 1992.
We joined the FBCSA in 1991 and have been
active members to date. In 1997 we Hauteur’s Cartouche
(Julius) who was also a registered boxer with the FBCSA. We
met Ute Füglister when we took Julius for training. In
1998 we got Ch Poklenberg’s Edelweiss (Sheba) and this
is where everything started…..
We are a small breeder but have been successful
in the show ring as well as in the working arena. We currently
have bred 6 FBCSA Champions of which 3 have gone on to become
Grand Champions. In the working arena Rennie Boxers have also
made their presence felt with 3 Rennie Boxers becoming FBCSA
Grand Champions (G Ch Rennie’s Bannockburn, G Ch Rennie’s
Carlow of Hanubi and G Ch Rennie’s Éomer). We
further have two BT titles, four BH titles and one AD title
from our remaining Boxers.
Rennie Boxers has a passion for the Boxer.
We believe that these wonderful animals with their amazing
natures and temperament have and will continue to touch our
lives in a very special way. It is our passion and goal to
ensure that the Boxer Breed is promoted to its fullest extent
and that these exquisite dogs touch more people’s lives.
Our life with Boxer dogs has been filled
with joy, dedication, love, laughter and sadness. The lessons
we have learned from them are priceless. Love, dedication,
and sharing without reservation is the Boxer dog way, so we
have decided to share their gift to us with all of you who
love these wonderful dogs. Boxers are more than pets, they
are members of the family.
