Why We’re Different

At Roper’s Boxers, we do things a little differently than many breeders. We don’t believe any dog should live its life in a kennel or on concrete. Our boxers are part of our home and family — never confined to small pens.

Boxers don’t tolerate extreme temperatures well, so in 2013 we enclosed a covered patio off our living room to create a climate-controlled space just for them. It’s connected to our main HVAC system so the dogs enjoy the same comfortable temperatures we do, with 24/7 access to our fenced yard through doggie doors.

We currently have four separate spaces: one for the main pack, one for girls in heat, and two for moms with puppies. Each area includes its own yard and doggie door, with veterinary-grade turf that allows easy cleaning and full disinfection. These spaces encourage interaction and play while keeping our dogs healthy and safe. Our puppies begin using doggie doors early, which makes them nearly house-trained by the time they go to their new homes.

We’re extremely selective about the dogs we include in our family and breeding program. We look for calm temperaments, intelligence, and the classic boxer look we love. We do not breed overly hyper or untrainable dogs.

Through years of careful selection and exceptional veterinary care, we’ve built a healthy, confident pack. Some of our dogs also undergo genetic testing — for example, our male JJ has tested negative for both ARVC and DM, meaning he cannot pass these conditions to his puppies.

We strive to raise beautiful, smart, and healthy boxers that will become lifelong members of your family. You can follow our updates and see current or past puppies on our Facebook page or by visiting our Available Boxers page.
