Roper's Boxers is owned & operated by Michael & Brandi Roper. We live on a small family farm just north of Tulsa Oklahoma. We have been raising boxers for over 20 years & can't imagine a life without boxers in it. Michael is self employed & I manage a veterinary hospital & have been a veterinary nurse for 23 years. Michael has had boxers since he was a toddler. Until we met I'd never owned one but I'd always liked them at work due to their sweet personalities. When we started dating he had Duke & an amazing little female named Shasta, both of which you can find on the Retirees page. Shasta quickly stole my heart but Duke was a royal pain in the rear! We lost Shasta suddenly to an illness just before she turned 7 & Duke seemed to grow up overnight. He was the most devoted, loving, & protective companion to our 3 kids until we lost him in the spring of 2013 at 13 years old. After living with Duke for over 10 years I had no doubts that this breed is the best family pet you can have. They're loyal, loving, silly, & they can be fiercely protective - especially of their kids.
