Vita is owned and loved by Joanne Klauer of Integra Boxers in Calgary, Alberta. Vita was the one puppy in the litter whose puppy aptitude testing indicated that she had great potential as a performance/working dog but was also had quite the energy level that only an experienced Boxer owner could handle :-) At 5 weeks of age Vita was jumping out of the whelping box and scaling the 18" x-pen. When I moved up to the 24" x-pen Vita continued to scale it quite easily. When she was 6 weeks old Vita scaled my 42" x-pen while I was at work. I came home to her relaxing in the open wire crate while her littermates were wondering how she got there and why they couldn't get there :-) I knew after that night that Vita needed someone who would know how to direct her energy into doing positive activities and I thought of Joanne Klauer who had recently lost her beautiful and wonderful working girl, Pinot. I contacted Joanne to see if she was ready for another girl in her life on the very day she was struggling with the decision to get another Boxer or not. Joanne asked if she could come up to meet and put Vita through some puppy testing of her own. Of course I said yes and the rest is history :-) I am very excited to see what this team will accomplish in the future in the performance events! Vita will also dabble in the conformation ring with Joanne with the goal of attaining her Canadian Champion title. You can see more of Vita on her webpage on Joanne's website here.

Vita is out of Country Time's Black Pearl (CJ) and sired by the stunning BISS Am/Can. BPIS Ch. Summer's Blackjack Of Shadigee SOMC (Blackjack), who is owned and loved by Mary Jane & Lee Nowak of Shadigee Boxers in Kentucky. Blackjack has been producing lovely puppies with correct conformation, movement and wonderful temperaments. In 2007, Blackjack was awarded the Boxer Club of Canada's Top Boxer Sire with seven get finishing their Canadian Championship! Vita and her littermates are the result of my first frozen semen or "pupsicle" litter. I want to thank Mary Jane & Lee for allowing me to breed CJ to their gorgeous and outstanding producer!
