WELCOME…TO OUR PARTY! Good Evening! Welcome to the Twenty-ninth American Boxer Top Twenty event. Every year, it is our distinct honor and pleasure to kick off an amazing ABC Week Monday night with an elegant show that is considered the premier Top Twenty in the Nation. This event is made possible because of the twenty top Boxers of 2017 which you will have the opportunity to see here tonight along with some Top Twenty Past Winners here to Exhibit. We welcome you and ask you to be sure to look for the colored page in this catalog for the People’s Choice Ballot sponsored by the Boxer Digest. Be sure to vote for your personal favorite and see who is selected as People’s Choice Winner at the ABC Awards Dinner! Thanks for coming and now sit back and... Enjoy! 1
Tonight you will see the 20 Top Scoring Boxers of 2017 in Competition and some of the Past Winners to Exhibit. This gives you a unique chance to see all of these great dogs in the ring at one time and it only happens once a year. The Show begins when the three secret judges are escorted into the ring and are introduced. Then the lights go down-- anticipation rules and all eyes go to the beautifully lit pergola awaiting the first Boxer and handler to explode from the darkness into the spotlight accompanied by their song…. The Show has begun…… Cheryl Robbins and her Crew has created a top notch production that others have tried to emulate--- but none have succeeded. Our Top Twenty and its special events have been called the greatest in the nation and we credit Cheryl, Keith and their great crew and so many wonderful volunteers. In addition to the beauty and elegance of the evening, Dr. Larry Dosier spends hours researching and updating the pedigrees to be sure each is correct. And, of course, the flowers that you will see gracing the rings all ABC Week are provided, yet again, by the generosity of Phillip Koenig and the artful arranging and special care of Salli Moore-Kottas. Vickie Rounsaville-Millard keeps our Website and Information updated and for that we thank her. Barry Wyerman has done a careful job of selecting and instructing the Nominating Committee… we thank each of them. And, in addition, because of the generosity of Caryn Orlando and The Boxer Digest, YOU can vote for YOUR choice of the winner. There is a People’s Choice ballot in each catalog so be sure to fill it out and deposit it in the box when you leave the show. The winner will be announced and presented with a People’s Choice Ribbon and Plaque at the ABC Awards dinner. Huge thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who come help sell catalogs, raffle tickets for the Evening Raffle and baskets and those who do so much work behind the scenes to make everything as perfect as it can possibly be. It takes so many great people and we thank each and every one of them. Now, as we thank you for coming, we ask you to sit back, get your catalogs out, relax and ENJOY the evening… and these magnificent Boxers. Let the show begin. Chairman, Loretta Parolisi 2

2 0 1 3 To p Tw e n t y Wi n n e r GCHP BREHO FORTURITY SHARED TREASURE, DOM, CD, RN, RATO, CGC, TKI, FDC “Millee” We are very proud of our sweet “Millee”! She was born August 22, 2010. The first time she walked into show ring at barely 7 mos. & won Grand Sweeps & Reserve to 2 majors, we knew she was going to be a “Treasure”! She always expected a new toy when she won because of those given at that very first set of shows, so she always got one! She still loves her toys and takes very good care of them! She was 1st in her 6-9 Futurity class at ABC 2011 & Reserve puppy & won her regular class. She finished her Championship from the BBX class at barely 9 months of age with 4 majors. At 9 ½ months, in her first show as a Special, won an All-Breed Best In Show, the youngest Boxer in the history of the Breed to do so. This was the first of several BIS wins, as well as multiple BISS wins, and a RBIS. She finished her GCH at under 11 months of age. When Millee was 15 months old, she & Terri were invited to the 2011 AKC Eukanuba Classic Show in Orlando, where she received an Award of Excellence & Best Bred-By-Exhibitor Boxer. She went on to win the BBX Working Group. She, along with two other Breho-bred Boxers, Mickee & Katee, had already won the Best in Eukanuba Breeders' Stakes in San Antonio, progressing from there to the finals in Orlando where she won the Breeders' Stakes Working Group & was also the Eukanuba North American Breeders' Stakes Champion for 2011. She was a joy to watch! Millee & Terri had many Breed & Group wins & placements along the way to her Platinum Grand Championship which she earned almost on her 4th Birthday! She was only the 3rd Boxer at that time to achieve the Platinum Level. She received a certificate at ABC 2017 for being the youngest Boxer to receive her GCH. Millee was a Top Twenty Boxer in 2012, 2013 & 2014. She thrilled us by winning the Top Twenty her first year to compete! She produced 4 beautiful puppies in December of 2014 that all finished their Championships before 2 years old to make her a DOM. Millee has earned her CGC, CD, a Rally Novice title, a RatO title in Barn hunt, her TrickDog Intermediate Title and her Farm Dog Certification! She is happy to do almost anything for a treat or a new toy! We are thankful to be back for another Exhibition run around this beautiful Top Twenty ring! Thank you for allowing us to share the night with the Best of the Best! Terri & Millee have made dreams come true in so many ways! Our sweet Millee has always been a Shared Treasure!!!!! Best of luck to the contenders this year! Breeder/Owners Handler Terri Galle Terri Galle June Sutherlin Brenda Stuckey 12

What can one say about this beautiful girl? She is the epitome of feminine perfection in a Boxer! We are thrilled with her accomplishments and the wins that were bestowed upon her. Throughout Suri’s show career she has brought home 12 Best In Shows, 4 Reserve Best In Shows, 32 Specialties, 49 Group 1's and a Group 4 at Westminster Kennel Club. She has been appreciated and awarded Specialty Bests by All of the Breeder judges that she was exhibited too. And for that we are greatly appreciative, as it reconfirms the pedigree she descends from the promise we saw in her as a puppy. Her lineage comes from generations of National Specialty winners on both sides of her pedigree from three time ABC Ch. Wagner Wilverday “Famous Amos,” three time ABC winner Ch. Hi-Tech’s Johnny J of Boxerton ,Ch. Hi-Techs Arbitrage, Ch. Berenas Gemini Spashdown, Ch. Heldenbrand’s Jet Breaker and Ch. Kreyons Firebrand. That’s 11 ABC National Winners in one pedigree! She comes downline from 6 generations of Sire of Merits. From Ch. Fiero’s Tally Ho Tailo—to Ch. Hi-Tech’s Artibrage “Biff” to Ch. Hi-Tech’s Aristocrat “Rex”--to Ch. Hi-Tech’s Johnny J of Boxerton – to Ch Raklyn’s Stealing the Show “Stealer” – to Ch Triple Crown’s Prince of Thieves-- down to her sire Ch. Sharledar’s Simply Decadent “Frank.”She also is one of the few Boxers left that descends from the GREAT Ch Kreyons Firebrand who was recognized and awarded at the 2014 ABC Awards Banquet for her contributions to the Boxer breed dating back to 1968. For sure she is deemed Royal in more ways than one. To everyone that loves and appreciates our SURI BUG a heartfelt Thank You!

Judging Procedure for the Top Twenty 1. When the judges first see each dog, they must score it according to an Average Placement Scale of 1 – 10 before it is judged. In other words, the judge must look at the dog on the whole and score it on that scale, with a score of 10 meaning that, as a first impression, the dog appears to be in perfect harmony with the judge’s picture of the “ideal” Boxer. In the event of a tie, this score shall be used as a determining factor to break the tie. 2. Then, the dogs are scored individually by each of the three judges, using the Top Twenty Boxer Point Schedule which is derived from the Standard. When a judge examines an individual dog and compares it mentally to their own picture of the “ideal,” that judge is going through an evaluation process. The Top Twenty Boxer Point Schedule adds the assignment of numerical values to this evaluation and it demands that the judge indicate wherein penalties are assessed for less than the ideal. Since the scores are posted, each judge goes on record, part by part, when they score the dog. This “hands-on” scoring is far more time consuming than the comparison judging that we are used to. After all, these are our Top Twenty Boxers and they are all competing for the top spot! This type of judging exacts strong discipline on the part of each judge. A fault that seems to stand out to one particular judge might not to the others, thereby, reducing the impact of the idiosyncrasies of individual judges. While in the ring, judges may only confer with the stewards regarding judging procedures. 3. The winner will be determined on the basis of the averaged total scores of each dog and the signed score sheets will be publicly posted following the Show. 20

Selection of the Boxer Top 20 Judges The breeder judge and the handler judge for the Top 20 are selected by a nominating committee that is newly appointed every year. Nomination guidelines are followed to assure impartiality of the judges. The AKC Multi- breed judge is selected by the Top 20 organizing committee years in advance, well before the eligible Top 20 dogs are known. Once the eligible Top 20 dogs are determined, the chairman of the nominating committee selects up to 7 committee members who will nominate breeder judges and handler judges. These committee members must not have any connections with the Top 20 dogs eligible for that year, with their owners, with the breeders, or with the sires. The committee members are chosen from different geographic regions of the country and serve on the committee without knowledge of who the other committee members might be. This avoids any possible collusion in the nominating and voting process. Committee members are asked to submit 3 nominees for a breeder judge and 3 nominees for a handler judge who may come from their region or elsewhere. Individuals who have judged the Top 20 within the last 5 years are excluded as nominees. The nominees must not have any personal or business relationship with the owner, breeder, owner of the sire, or handler of any of the Top 20 eligible dogs and cannot be contacted to ask about a willingness to judge if selected. This becomes a difficult task given the many possible ways that individuals in the Boxer community may be connected via joint ownership of dogs, purchase of puppies, dog breeding, or other personal or business relationships. Also, nominees who are handlers or breeders must not have judged Boxers in the last 6 months. The committee members send their confidential nominations to the chairperson of the Top 20 who then prepares and sends a first ballot to the members of the nominating committee. The members are then asked to identify any further conflicts of interest between the prospective judges and the Top 20 dogs, owners, breeders, sires, or handlers. If any nominees are removed from the ballot, the individual who made the nomination has the option to submit an alternative nominee. Once a final ballot is prepared, each member of the nominating committee submits 5 votes for a breeder judge and 5 votes for a handler judge. The confidential votes are sent directly to the chairperson of the Top 20 who tallies votes to select a breeder judge and handler judge. With 5 votes to submit, each member of the nominating committee is forced to consider candidates beyond his/her personal 3 nominees. The selected judges are then notified and asked if any unknown situations exist with the Top 20 dogs that could cause their impartiality to be questioned. The final selections are kept confidential from the entire nominating committee until the night of the Top 20 event. The chairman and members of the nominating committee look forward to the announcement of the selected judges and are honored to have these individuals judge our Top 20. Barry Wyerman, Chairman Top 20 Nominating Committee 22
MULTI-BREED JUDGE Picture Mr. Jon R. Cole Jon Cole, of Nashville, Tennessee, comes from a dog-show family and grew up among a wide variety of breeds. He eventually developed a primary interest in Bull Terriers and Bedlington Terriers, breeds in which he had great success in both "producing good-quality puppies and achieving many wins at shows in the U.S. and Canada." At various times Cole has also owned or shown West Highland White Terriers, Shih Tzu, Smooth Fox Terriers, Greyhounds, and Schipperkes He is approved to judge All Breeds since 2007. Always in demand, Cole has judged on six continents since his career began in 1971. He has officiated at America’s most prestigious venues, including multiple Westminster assignments, and multiple AKC Shows. Cole has served in high office for several Specialty and all-breed clubs, including president and founding member of the Kopper Valley Shi Tsu Club; president of the Group IV Terrier Association of Utah for fourteen years; and president, treasurer, board member, show chairman, and committee member, at various times, for the Dog Fanciers of Oregon, the Intermountain Kennel Club, and the Bonneville Basin Kennel Association, and Nashville Kennel Club.

He has written articles, conducted breed seminars, and has appeared on television to discuss breeds and dog-related issues. In whatever time he can find away from the show ring, Cole enjoys golfing, restoring houses, walking, and reading. 23

In 2009, David and Stephanie were winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the ABC and were recently honored with the Hall of Fame award. Stephanie has judged numerous Boxer specialties in the USA and around the world, including Australia, Mexico, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, the UK, and Brazil. It was her great thrill to judge the ABC National Specialty in 1995 and 2004. Most of all, more than all the show wins, judging, and breeding, it is the remarkable temperament and kind intelligence of the Boxer that has meant the most to Stephanie through the years. 24
HANDLER JUDGE Picture Mel Holloman I attended my first dog show in the middle 1970's. While watching the handlers of that era the idea of becoming dog a handler consumed me. From that point on I was submerged in everything dogs. During the early 1980's I apprenticed with the late Charles E. Steele. Since the mid 1980's I have been handling professionally. In my role as a professional handler I have exhibited Group, Specialty winners, and all Breed Best in Show winners. Boxers of note are Champions Seaside's EWO Surf Breaker, Brookwood's Dream Dancer and Kaja's Little Rascal. The majority of the fancy will readily recognize me with a Boxer on the lead. Being asked to judge your Top Twenty has provided me with immense pleasure. 25

Her square build, beautiful blend of substance and style and charismatic, outgoing temperament is a reminder of what this breed is all about.

Back home in Florida she quickly completed her Championship at the Tampa Bay Boxer Club in June of 2016 at 7 ½ months old. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to Linda Whitney for training Heller as a puppy and quickly finishing her as well as her Grand Championship. Ann Campbell made the decision to send Heller home from the 2017 ABC with Debbie Struff to start her Specials Career in the Northeast. We couldn’t be happier with this team of Heller, Debbie & Karen – The Girls have been quite successful and are having fun! In only 6 months Heller ended 2017 as the Number 14 Boxer and Number 15 All Breed. The Girls are Off and Running for 2018 already winning Breeds and Working Group Placements, as well as Select Bitch at the 2018 Westminster Kennel Club?

GCHS/CAN GCH SHADIGEE’S CALCULATED RISK “Kaden” We are honored to have been included in the American Boxer Club Top 20 competition for the second consecutive year. Kaden has been carefully shown on a limited basis over the past 2 years which makes this recognition even more special. Kaden began his show career in Canada in 2013 where he earned his GCH at the age of 9 months and showed exclusively there until he was 2. Since beginning his show career in America, he has been exclusively and expertly handled by Ms. Amy Bieri. Amy has loved and cared for him as one of her own and they have a bond that will last a lifetime. Kaden has laid to rest the theory that a plain Boxer cannot compete. We are grateful to the many judges, especially breeder judges, who have recognized Kaden’s qualities. This year’s ABC competition will mark the conclusion of Kaden’s competitive career. We are grateful for the support of all who have followed and encouraged Kaden and his team over the past 2 ½ years. Kaden is fully health tested and will enjoy sitting back with his pack and watching his “kids” create a legacy for himself, his owners and his breeders. He is now available to select bitches for breeding. Thank you Amy, Lee & Mary Jane Nowak (Shadigee Boxers) for the privilege of having Kaden in my pack and for all you have done for us.

GCHB JULIAN FARM'S SWEET SOUTHERN COMFORT “Farmer” I never would have imagined as I sat in the whelping box with my first litter that we would have the honor of showing one of those puppies in the Top Twenty. What a ride you have taken me on Farmer! From winning an Award of Merit at the Central Indiana Boxer Club Specialty in 2017 to making the Top Twenty in just half a year of showing, this boy always makes me proud! I owe so much of Farmer's success to my mentor, handler and friend, Steve Stewart. Farmer and Steve share a bond that started when Farmer was just 3 days old. I remember Steve holding him in his hands and saying how much he really loved that little puppy. It takes a village to make this dream a reality. Thank you to everyone who has supported Team Farmer along the way including the other half of Julian Farm Boxers, my mom. She has raised every litter with me and is always the loudest cheerleader! Farmer wouldn’t be here without some great pedigrees behind him and I am privileged to have a great foundation to build on.
