Please remember our Trophy Show this coming
Sunday!
download
schedule here
It is a relaxed, informal event and perhaps
you would like to come and try your hand at showing
your Boxer? Who knows, without realizing it you might
have a potential champion casually lounging around your
home! Even if showing your dog is not your thing, perhaps
you would enjoy coming to watch and chat to other Boxer
enthusiasts. We would love to have you there.
Below is the schedule for the Aptitude Test planned
for the weekend of 9th/10th May 2015, as well as some
info on what aptitude tests are all about. There are
two slots still available for Boxers – 10:30 on
the Saturday and 14:30 on Sunday. If you are keen to
enter, please do so asap, otherwise these slots will
go to other breeds who wish to enter.
Boxers usually do very well in these tests, and it
is also very interesting to watch, so if you are interested,
do come and observe one or two of the tests. However,
please note that only the dog being tested is allowed
on or near the grounds during a test, so please do not
bring your Boxers along for the ride!

Our club had its AGM on 22nd February 2015.
The bad news is that two of our committee members decided
to hang up their committee gloves: Our very competent
Secretary, Fay Roberts, and Mike Bind. We are really
sad to see them go, but we are very, very grateful for
their contribution to the running of the club during
the time they served on the committee.
The good news is that three members were willing to
join the ranks of the committee and we welcome Jennifer
Neish, Renate Vorster and Marelize Wiese with open arms
and a song in our hearts! We hope to have them on the
committee for many years to come.

Sad passing of Johan Kieser
It is with deep regret that we advise that Johan Kieser
was tragically murdered last week.
Johan Kieser a wonderful dogman will be remembered in
so many facets of dogdom in South Africa and Internationally.
Johan’s affix “Tortuga” has run through
many of our top winning Boxers for many years. His knowledge
and dedication to the Boxer Breed has always been foremost
in his life.
Johan served on many Committees, Exco, Federal Council,
Western Cape Provincial Council, but his main love was
for the Boxer Breed.
Johan served on the Kennel Association and during his
time with Kennel Association he obtained sponsorship
from Epol, was on the Task Team for Top Dog in 1990
and he pulled Breede Rivier Kennel Club back, in the
Worcester days.
He worked tirelessly on the Committee of the W P Boxer
Club for many years.
Johan will always be remembered as a perfect gentleman,
respected in all areas of Dogdom, a genuine friend –
missed by a great many people.
The Kennel Union extends its deepest sympathy to his
daughter Jeanne and his many friends.

Western Cape Provincial Council

Dominic
CH STANWIX CHASE
THE WIND
30 AUG 02 – 1 JUN 10
Dominic was born early morning as a dreadful storm raged
through Cape Town. We had been without electricity for
most of the night and the whelping room was full of
candles (very romantic!) the litter subsequently being
named after the dreadful weather. He was 2nd born, weighing
in at a hefty 525g – he was a very big baby and
grew into a very big adult. But what a gentle giant,
I have never had a Boxer with such a sweet, sweet nature,
loving and being loved by everybody. (OK, except Rogan!)
He was an absolute clown leaping round in circles whenever
he was happy, talking at the top of his voice - he could
hold a long conversation with anyone willing to listen!
In his day, Dom did well in the show
ring, earning his Championship status as soon as he
won his maturity CC at 18 months. His last triumph was
taking the CC at the WPBC show in 2009 as a veteran,
but, unlike his sister Rafaela who adored showing, he
could take or leave the show ring. He loved to attend
the shows, but was just as happy observing at the ringside,
giving all the youngsters advice!
Dom had always been very healthy,
but a few weeks ago he started having fainting episodes
and after lots of tests we found had a tumor in his
heart and an immune mediated anemia. He was treated
in hospital and came home feeling much, much better
when unexpectedly & totally unrelated he developed
torsion and, as he would have been unable to tolerate
the anaesthetic required for the surgery, I had to make
the very difficult decision to say goodbye to my wonderful
boy.
There is a huge gap in my life, as
Dom was such a fantastic companion, walking partner
and adored friend. He was a true, true gentleman.
I know it’s a wonderful place
over the rainbows bridge, but I am going to miss you
Dom, Nic, Pic my Bestest Boy in the Whole Wide World,
Ever!

We received this sad email from one
of our members:
Cracker (Ch. Proam Lethal Weapon) put
to sleep
Yesterday at 5pm we had our beloved
Cracker put to sleep. He had spondylosis and suddenly
started falling and slipping all over the place on Monday
February 1st. It was sad to see him like this. Cracker
was the best boxer thing that ever happened to us. In
terms of temperament and personality one couldn't ask
for more in a boxer. As Caroline would say": "Best
boxer you've ever had." He filled our lives with
so much joy. We miss him and it will take a very long
time to heal from this. He was eleven years and four
months old. He was a part of everything we did,every
decision we took whether it was to go to Pick and Pay
or visit friends. His age and the appealing look when
we went out, was the reason that for the past seven
years we did not go on holiday because he always pined
when in kennels. But yesterday we could see that he
had come to the end - the end of an era.
Regards.
Helen and Ivan Smith
