Welcome to Asuncion Boxers & Whippets!
We are Ernest & Angie Friesen. We live in the beautiful city of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. We established Asuncion Boxers in early 2000, and only
added Whippets to our kennel in 2006. Our first boxers came from Wilf &
Christine Tricker of Tricker Boxers. We are forever indebted to the Tricker's
as well as Merv & Sandy Bilton of MGM Boxers for all the help and guidance.
In years past we were both very active in horses; and Angie used to breed
Pomeranian's. We have had a very successful showing career and proudly
show our own dogs in most instances.
After breeding and competing in Boxers for nearly 7 years we finally found the
Whippet we'd waited nearly 2 years for. We thank Cherie Virden of 'By Design'
Whippets, and Ray Yurick of 'Brushwoods Whippets' for all their help.
| "The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household. He is harmless in the family, but distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when aroused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of honesty and loyalty, and is never false or treacherous even in his old age." | |
