MIRAK BOXERS of Goodyear, Arizona, began with the acquisition of a stunning black brindle female, by the name of TuRo’s Katalina at Mirak, also known as “Katy”. Katy exuded class, style and standard. The privilege to have possession of such a specimen drove our love for the breed into the future. Fueled by the desire to improve the Boxer breed in health as well as conformation, our energy was focused abroad.

Being faced with health issues and structural defaults in the breed, we expanded our horizons by incorporating the bloodlines of our fellow United Kingdom and European Boxer breeders. With any animal that is continually inbred, the gene pool becomes strained. Without the addition of diverse bloodlines, conformation faults and health issues will become prevalent.

In the autumn of 2005, the world-renowned Russian breeder and CACIB judge (Certificate of Aptitude for International Champion of Beauty), Alexander Balashov, offered to us AIVENGO ILARIA also known as “Ilaria”. Ilaria’s pedigree demonstrates the technique of a master breeder, thus blending the bloodlines of Italy, Germany and Russia to form a sound example of the breed. Ilaria has a temperament second to none, which has been passed on to her by her sire and grandsires.

Shortly after Ilaria’s arrival, we welcomed BOXKEN'S MAGIC SPELL (UK import) also known as “Jinx”. She is a deep mahogany brindle girl, who is full of energy, complete with natural ears and a natural appetite for the show ring. Her correct movement, super bite, “cat-like” feet and her showmanship make for a bright future ahead. We look forward to her future in the show ring as well as the whelping box.

ALLSTURNS SUPERTRAMP, affectionately known as “Jaxx” is the latest arrival to Mirak Boxers. Jaxx comes from Allsturns kennel located in the beautiful Welsh countryside, bred by Ms. Shelly Turner.
