Gentry puppies are bred with great attention to the genotype, phenotype, temperament, and health of the parents, grandparents and other members of the family.

Breeding selections are carefully made to produce puppies that have the genetic foundation for proper conformation and good health.

It is easy to produce an ugly boxer due to the special conformation of their undershot jaw.  Note that our dogs do not show teeth or tongues and that they have the proper proportions required by the standard to produce a beautiful square body and head.

How Gentry Puppies are Bred and Raised—Refundable Deposit Policy

Gentry’s Wild at Heart (Genny) with two puppies in our indoor nursery, always kept clean and sanitized.

Our puppies are usually bottle fed once a day to give them the best start in life.  This is one of the essential factors in the “people orientation” of Gentry dogs.  Puppies that are bottle fed occasionally seem much better bonded to humans than those that are not.  Bottle feeding is done to supplement, but not replace, the essential contact and nursing provided by the puppies’ mother.

 

Gentry puppies are raised in a clean indoor environment to form the dog’s foundation to want to stay clean later in life.  Potty training is begun and they are exposed to sleeping in a dog kennel (airline crate) so that they can adapt easily to homes where kennels are used for housebreaking and containment.

 

We play with and handle our puppies often to socialize them and accustom them to handling of their bodies and feet.  We begin cutting their nails before their eyes are open and expose them to nail clippers and dremels so that this is not a new experience for them.

Gentry Boxers

Breeding Beautiful Healthy Boxers for Families and Show Homes

Please contact us if you are interested in a puppy from upcoming litters.  We have a wait-list and will consider taking deposits from screened buyers.

 

REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT POLICY:  I use deposits to manage the wait-list, not to make money.  If you wish to be on the wait list, please contact me to discuss what you are looking for.  If you decide that you want a Gentry boxer puppy, discuss with me the possibility of sending a refundable $250 deposit to hold a puppy from the next litter.  If I am planning to keep a puppy myself, I will choose a puppy first.  It will likely be a show potential puppy.  Then, for example, if you are committed to showing and want a fawn male, you will reserve a show potential fawn male.  Buyers who are going to show get priority.  Your deposit will hold your choice of the type of puppy you are looking for, and I will help you choose the best puppy for your needs.  In return, I expect that you will not purchase a puppy elsewhere in the meantime or change your mind because I will be turning down other buyers.  If you do so, your deposit is not refundable.  If you prefer not to put down a deposit, that’s fine also.  Those with deposits will choose before those on the wait-list without deposits.

 

However, if your show potential fawn male or your white female puppy is not born in the litter, of course, your deposit is immediately refunded.  If your puppy type is born, but does not pass his/her health exam, has 3 eyes or 5 legs, has a funky personality, etc., your deposit is returned.  I will not automatically keep your deposit for the next litter unless you instruct me to.

 

Due to the fact that I am now doing very limited breeding, and because of my generous health guarantee, my litters are often completely committed prior to whelping, especially from those who have owned and been loved by a Gentry boxer in the past and want a second or replacement dog.
