What is everyone's thoughts about TanOaks European lined boxers? Do you like them? or Do you only prefer Canadian or American lined boxers.

I'm not sure I understand your question? Are you just asking about European boxers in general? I love them! I'm not so fond of the ones bred for schutzhund - too bulky. I actually like american the least (although a boxer is a boxer and I lvoe them all!)

Tanoak breeds European boxers and they are located in Barrie, I was just wondering if people like there boxers or if they prefer canadian or american lines? Do I sound like I am making scents?

Do you have a link to their site (if they have one)? I'd like to have a look. Our girl has a few imports from the UK in her lines, which would probably be my favourite, but I would be happy to own ANY Boxer, not specifically a Euro, UK or American.
Also there was a post re the Euro Boxers not too long ago, here is the link if you would like to take a look

I think a boxers type should be universal across all continents . Each continent has it's good and bad points in their type of boxer . Some have less bone , others are too unbalanced and others are too overdone .
No matter what country a boxers is from , I like a good well balanced boxer .

Nikita is from Tanoak. Her pedigree shows imports from Austria, hungary & germany....and i believe her sire is from german police dog line. She was 'quite' a challenge, but she's come a long way!

My female is from them too! She has been a challenge as well and has come a long way both her parents were German lines. I have to say she is my sassy female but seems to be mellowing now. Is Nikita a barker??? Did you ever see Ebony at Tanoak? I think she is my favorite boxer there she is a really dark reverse brindle and everytime I go for a visit she is nuts just to see me.

Nikita's sire is 'Brandon Dean R.Rice'....her mum is Tanoak Iris of Boxerbabies. I don't remember Ebony...but they did have an absolutely gorgeaus dark reverse brindle, which Dieter mentioned was his favourite dog. I keep in touch with them also, and do plan on visiting soon....if you ask about Nikita, they'll remember us. Nikita is a barker, very high prey drive!! she is one tough girl...i tell ya, she about drove me to the asylum...but she has def mellowed out, we are home all day so i think that's helped. We are also fortunate enough to have found a dog daycare, behaviourist here in Alliston, where we live...she also owns 2 boxers and REALLY helped us! How big is your girl? Nikita is 57lbs

First of all, I love to hear the accents, LOL, even between those I've spoken too through out the US. Love those southern accents. I've been told we here in NJ speak like in the movie Cousin Vinnie... I don't really see it, Fuggetabodit, LOL LOL LOL.... And the Canadian accent, I always think of the movie Strange Brew... eh, LOL LOL...

OK back to the boxers... I looked at the photos. Didn't see to much difference except that the Europeans had shorter legs and I don't know if that particular dog had a very short muzzle. I prefer the longer legs and a little bit longer muzzle. But we adopted our 2 boxers, knowing we were going to take them no matter what they looked like. We fell in love with them immediately. Not for their looks, but because of their personalities.
