Pronounced "So-Ley", Soleil Boxers is located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, (Northern California).  "Soleil" is the French word for "sun", and also means "to succeed" and "to shine", all characteristics our boxers exude both in the ring and in their everyday as ambassadors of the wonderful Boxer Breed.  "Sun" also happens to be our last name.  We believe in proper health testing, and we do not support backyard breeders nor puppymills.  Though we do not breed often. When we do plan a litter, we to strive to produce healthy, long-lived, conformationally and temperamentally sound boxers; a "well-rounded" boxer, both beauty, brains and of course health too!

We participate in conformation in the AKC, USABox-supported Sieger shows, IABCA & UKC rings, however our main focus is in AKC and the USABox-supported Sieger shows.  Because we believe boxers are more than just a pretty face, we hope to maintain the working aspect of our breed, and believe our dogs should be able to excel in performance and working events as well.  There are Soleil-kids in the Agility, Obedience rings, and hopefully soon we will be ready to compete in schutzhund as well. 

We support the choice to crop and dock, and also appreciate the "au natural" boxer.  Our boxers are not just show dogs nor are they just working and performance prospects, they are first and foremost members of our family and the same goes for puppies we have placed. 

We want to thank Maribess Johnson, our wonderful mentor and friend.  She is always just a quick speed-dial away, and we couldn't ask for more from her, as her guidance and opinions are always much appreciated.  Thank you for putting up with us "newbies" and always being there for us.
