Born November 22, 2014, London was bred by Melissa & Mark Mather of Vanquish Boxers & Kerry Jones of Pheasant Hollows Boxers. London is co-owned by Deanne Sinnott, Melissa & Mark Mathers.
The search for my second Boxer began in 2012. After researching the breed for a few years, following groups lead by some of the most well respected breeders of current times. I was interested in finding a mentor to begin my breeding program as it seemed most beneficial for new breeders to seek a mentor/s with a lot of experience in the breed. Many great breeders start with the help of a great mentor. I was in search of a breeder who was breeding for temperament, health & structure. Upon researching the pedigrees of the dogs I was drawn to, I noticed the common dog was Am.Ch.Pheasant Hollows Macho Camacho, SOM. I wanted to know more about this dog. I was immediately drawn to his head!! As I did more research, I discovered 'Hector' had a way of passing his beautiful head onto his puppies very consistantly! I decided I'd be willing to wait for the right puppy to come along! I found I very much enjoyed learning about pedigrees. The Boxer Club of Canada Regional Specialty & Western Boxer Club of Ontario Specialty was being held in London in October 2013. This was a great opportunity to meet some breeders. What a fun weekend, I met some great people, dogs & breeders. Among those great people, were Medley Small of Cinnrhee Boxers, who I was very lucky to spend some times with. As fate would have it, I met Melissa & Mark Mathers of Vanquish Boxers. I truly had no idea at the time what a great friendship this would become. Melissa & Mark both have a background in showing/breeding Arabian horses, they have an eye for correct structure. A few months after we met, I sent an inquiry to Melissa regarding an upcoming litter. There was only one girl, she was spoken for. I asked if they would keep me in mind for their next breeding. Melissa knew I was interested in a mentor & show prospect to begin my breeding program. We shared the same priorities in terms of temperament, health & structure. As luck would have it, when Melissa & Mark bred the next litter they bred to Hector. I hoped there would be a beautiful girl available for me. On November 22, 2014, Esme became the mom of 6 healthy Boxer babies. The weeks passed, felt like forever but I took a trip to Vanquish Boxers where I met my first Boxer girl London! I was in complete Awww over this beautiful Boxer baby, saying "I have a Hector puppy!!" I could not even believe it!! London was a little fire cracker and was sure to let Vader know that she was the boss from now on.
The fun began for us at the Avalon Kennel Club shows May 2015. In true Boxer fashion London was a social butterfly, loving all the attention from exhibitors and spectators alike. She made lots of friends, two and four legged. On Saturday Richard Fehler chose London for Best Baby Puppy In Group, from what could have been the cutest lineup of baby puppies in the working group at an Avalon Kennel Club show. London was a little show machine for me in the final ring and was awarded Best Baby Puppy in Show!! We were super happy, London was a little spitfire and really enjoyed showing. On Sunday under Fredrick Dewsbury London was awarded another Best Baby Puppy in Show!!

London was a NEW CHAMPION, Exclusively Owner Handled in only 3 show weekends!
May 2016, Adina Black (Bet on Black Boxers) & I went to Indianapolis, IN, USA to compete at the American Boxer Club National Specialty in an entry of over 400 of the nations top Boxers. London's breeders were looking forward to seeing her again, and I was looking forward to reuniting with the Vanquish crew. While there, we completed important Genetic Health Testing that is not available to us here in Newfoundland. Owner Handled as always, London placed 3rd in the 15-18 month Brindle Bitch Class at the Blue Grass Boxer Specialty under Breeder Judge Tim Hutchings, At the American Boxer Club National, we won the Amateur-Owner-Handled class. I'll never forget what breeder Judge Thomas Latta said, "she is a very pretty bitch", and "you do not look like an Amateur" WoW!! Made my trip...little did I know what would happen in the Winners Bitch ring. Wait, what the Winners Bitch ring at my very first National. I was going back in the ring with/against some of the worlds top professional handlers. It was beyond exhilarating when the judge pulled London third from a long line up of beautiful bitches, it is believed that was the first time an AOH made the cut in Winners Bitch at ABC!! Wow, what an amazing week!! The knowledge that can be gained at these National events is immeasurable. To meet some of the top Boxer breeders in the World, some of the worlds greatest Boxers, and to have my hands on some very beautiful dogs was an opportunity many can only dream of!! Seminars, health clinics, & social events make for a very fun Boxer filled week! I had planned to return the following year, but made breeding plans instead! We returned in 2018, where London placed 4th in the Bred-By-Exhibitor Bitch class under judge Mr. Hiroshi Kamisato at the Blue Grass Boxer Specialty. American Boxer Club National judge James G. Reynolds awarded her 2nd in the AOH class! Class placments at the American National is no easy task, ones we are undoubtly proud of!!
