Trucker

Aka "Truck-man" and "Truck-Truck", Trucker represents our next step in boxers where we hope to incorporate working trials along with our current conformation goals. After more than a year of research, we decided that in order for us to continue working towards our "ideal, dream boxer" we needed to incorporate some of what the world has to offer. Though he's an American-bred boy, Truck's parents are German imports from strong working (schutzhund titled) and conformation champions (including a long line of Atibox winners), proof that beauty and brains can coexist. So far, he is living up to his pedigree's potential - solid, even temperament, a quick and eager learner; he also has conformation traits we were looking for (an inky black mask, a super wide-straight bite, beautiful rise of skull, a wonderful front-assembly, with an equally balanced rear, and great reach and drive when on the move). He is a very special addition to our home, and though he is just a young pup, we have hopes in the working-sport arena, and of course to dabble in conformation as well. We are very excited to watch our little Trucker-man grow and develop, and he continues to impress us daily. Charismatic and smart as a whip, this boy combines dashing good looks, an attention-demanding, devilish attitude, and a will to work... we couldn't ask for more.

*Stay tuned for future updates in all of Trucker's endeavors, and of course lots of photos and video too!*

Updates!
  • Feb 23rd, 2010 - Though we had planned on leaving his ears natural, based on his ear-carriage, length of ear and ear leather, after much debate, Trucker was cropped. The crop was done by Dr. Marvin Frace of Marketplace Veterinary (El Dorado Hills, CA), a new Dr. for us, and from what we can tell, we are happy with the job done. His staff was very accomodating, esp. to his worried mother (moi!). Though it was a long day for both him and Katrina, Trucker was back to his normal self the following morning, and we are having a heck of a time trying to keep him "calm" while his stitches are still in. :)

  • Feb 15th, 2010 - Trucker's first "photoshoot" and video session made possible by Darlyne Duffey (Runway Boxers). See photos to the right & youtube video *HERE*

  • Feb 9, 2010 - Trucker head's north to his new home w/ the rest of the Soleil crew! Thank you to Colleen and Bill Gable, and momma Glock for allowing this wonderful boy to come home with us!
