About us

Thunder Bay Boxers was established in 2003. We are Bernard and
Ruth Atkins. Our name is taken from a place where we had a
vacation home and now live full time with our Boxers. We have been
fortunate to be able to live in such a beautiful place where our dogs
have room to run in a fenced yard and thoroughly enjoy themselves
in a forested setting.
We have had boxers since 1994. During that time we have always
tried to do what is best for our dogs and, in turn, the boxer breed in
general. Our first boxer, Ginger, was born August 24, 1994. She was
the sole reason that we chose the boxer as our breed. She was the
ultimate pet dog and set a good example for the younger boxers.
Unfortunately we lost Ginger on October 24, 2006 at age 12 years, 2
months old. She will be deeply missed.
We are members of the Mid-West Boxer Club. Bernard is on the
Board of Directors and Ruth is the Puppy Referral Person for
Mid-West Boxer Club.
We own a holter monitor with other breeders. Should you need this
