We offer a one year genetic health gaurantee, if the puppy passes within the first year of ownership due to any genetic disease we will replace the puppy with another one from the first available litter. The puppies are microchiped, CKC registered have their first shots. We have already began house and collar training. They are ready to go to their new homes as of today.

no hip and thyroid test?? I would email back and ask if those test were done. What does "extremely long lived" mean exactly? 12 years, 13, 14?
some other things that were important to me when I was looking was vacination protocol. I believe in a minimun vaccinations so wanted a breeder that also believes that. And quality food. I feed raw but at least wanted a breeder that fed high quality kibble. I had communicated with some breeders that fed the worst foods???? I didn't understand how you could be so knowledgable about showing and not know anything about nutrition?
To me, both those things would help my odds of getting a healthy, long lived boxer (and Poppy has extrememly long lived boxers in her pedigree too)
