Welcome to CedarLin Boxers.

We are located in North Liberty, Iowa and currently home to 5 Boxers- Brutus, Amaya, Ninya Celia and Silas- and 2 people Eric and Becky Gilchrist.

Brutus was our first boxer – one day Eric came home and announced that once we get our new house we needed a boxer named Brutus. I thought he was insane! I had grown up with cats and had always imagined a cute little lap dog like a yorkie. He encouraged me to do some research on Boxers and told me that they were really great dogs. I hopped on the internet and learned that Boxers are great family dogs, very loving and fun dogs. I agreed to a fawn male with natural ears and we ended up with Brutus in 1999. Amaya came 6 months later because Eric thought Brutus needed a friend and we were officially hooked on Boxers!

Ninya came to us from Regal Boxers in Frisco, TX. She is our first  Champion and taught us about the show ring! She is co-owned with her breeder Korinne Vanderpool. Korinne has been a tremendous help in this venture!  Celia and Silas are out of Ninya and just beginning their careers. 

Brutus and Amaya introduced us to dog training, agility and a whole world of dog shows. We started out in pet obedience classes and eventually stumbled into AKC obedience while at a Boxer Club meeting. I was amazed at the dogs ability in the ring and decided that my dogs could do that too! We entered our first show 1 year later.

Our Boxers are busy little dogs. We train and compete in obedience, agility, rally, tracking and conformation. We enjoy training our dogs and they have fun working. Click on "Our Boxers" to see each dog’s page to learn more about them and the titles they have earned.

We are active with boxer rescue and if you are looking for a boxer we encourage you to go to www.midwestboxerrescues.com . We have shared our home with over 16 foster dogs over the years and have special memories of each dog. Please consider rescue or volunteering with boxer rescue!

We do not have any puppies at this time.  We had a litter in June of 2009 and all puppies are placed.  We will not be having another litter for quite a few years but we would be happy to refer you to other reputable breeders.  Please email us if you would like some referrals.

We are members of the American Boxer Club, The Cedar Valley Boxer Club, 4RK9’s dog training club, The Iowa City Dog Obedience Club and Ready, Steady, Go Agility (NADAC Club).
