Welcome
to the UK Boxer Breed Council website, a site aimed at everyone involved
in the world of the boxer.
The Breed
Council is made up of representatives from each of the breed clubs who are
licensed to hold shows under Kennel Club rules. Boxer clubs outside the
jurisdiction of the Kennel Club and Boxer Training Clubs may become
associated members with full membership privileges other than voting
rights.
The objectives of the Breed Council are to
maintain the Boxer breed in accordance with the breed standard approved by
the Kennel Club. To co-ordinate all aspects and activities of the Boxer
breed clubs in the United Kingdom for the improvement and protection of
the breed, combing this with education for those who are interested in the
breed.
The council holds lists of judges at A1, A2, A3, B
and C levels (available on this site) based upon their experience in the
breed and judging record. The A1 list indicates persons whom the council
would support and who have been previously approved by the Kennel Club to
award Challenge Certificates. These lists are compiled and reviewed
continually throughout the year.
The Breed Council holds the health of the breed
as a primary importance and this was reflected in the reformation of a
health sub-committee, all matters relating to Boxer health can be found on
the health pages contained within this site. Anyone who has not already
done so, we would urge you to complete the on-line health form in the
‘General Health’ section as we attempt to guage the overall health of the
breed.
Please feel free to browse the site and check
back regularly for any updates.
The Boxer Breed Council meets
twice yearly and is made up of delegates representing each Boxer Club,
the Chairman, Vice Chairman and secretary. Any items to be included
on the agenda have to be submitted by a Boxer Club, not individual
persons.Therefore, if you wish any item to be included for discussion you
must submit it to the Boxer Club of which you are a member for
consideration. The agendas for forthcoming meetings, and also the minutes
of meetings, are circulated to Club delegates and secretaries by the
Boxer Breed Council secretary.
