A Little
About Us.......
Hello, My
name is Jessica Hillbloom and my family and I live in Summerville, South
Carolina. We have 2 sons Dustyn and Cody ages 13 yrs and 10 yrs. We have
been owned by boxers for 13 years now. My first encounter with a boxer
was a white female named Mercedes. She captured my heart the moment I met
her and I knew my family would not be complete until I had one in my home.
The Boxer in a whole was just the right dog for our family and my search
began. I was always raised to believe any dog with AKC papers was a "Well
Bred" dog and I soon learned that was not so. Before learning this VALUABLE
lesson, I found my first "Boxers" in the news paper. They had been left
in someone's back yard tied for 1 1/2 years. But they were still a Boxer
through and through. I brought them both home, and we had "Chubbs" N "Tubbs".
I soon learned after I got them home why they were tied apart as they had
sibling rivalry being both were dominant females. I placed Tubbs after
a short time as she and her sister were not able to get along with each
other. I felt she would do better in a different home and it proved
to be the right decision for her. I then met a wonderful local breeder,
Mrs. Peggy Otto of PRO
Boxers, to whom I owe the biggest debt of gratitude. I don't
know if I will ever be able to express my thanks to her enough. Peggy took
me under her mentor wings and has helped me through these past few years
more than I could have ever asked, hoped or prayed for. She has given me
knowledge and guidance above and beyond, and a friendship I will cherish
until the day I pass to the Rainbow Bridge myself. To you, Peggy,
I thank with the utmost sincerity. Peggy helped me find my first "Well
Bred" boxers and has passed years of her gained knowledge to me. Peggy
graced us with what has proved to be a wonderful foundation bitch PRO's
Highland Forget-Me-Not, ( aka : Jill), May of 2002. We have since welcomed
in addition to our home in April 2005, ASureBet's
Wild Card For Pryde N PRO ( aka : Clemi) from Chris and Joy Howard
of ASureBet Boxers. Clemi
has become a whirlwind expirience from the moment I picked her up from
the airport and she darted into my arms. We have also added
CH.
Sandcastle's Enter Sandman, ( aka : Harley ). Tony Presto from Sandcastle
Boxer's let this outstanding young man come into our home in May of 2006.
Harley finished his championship title handled by Jorge Pinzon of Draco
Boxers. Harley has since produced 4 litters here with us resulting in Pryde's
Dyna Glide, AKA: "Dyna" who in her first show from the 9 to 12 month
class not only took winners Bitch for her first point, but Best of winners
and BEST OF BREED!!! She has been selectively shown with Mr. Jorge Pinzon
and Mr. Michael Todd of Draco Boxers
since her first showing and the care, conditioning and relationship they
have shown my girl and friendship they have shown us goes above and beyond.
They have kept Dyna in the ribbons even in VERY competative classes, garnering
a Reserve Winners Bitch to a 4 point Major. At the moment Dyna is at home
to complete some health testing and will go back on the road with both
Jorge and Michael summer of 2009.
Even after these past several years of guidance I am still a fledgling
trying to fly. Peggy helped me find my first show hopefuls and guided me
to produce pups I had only dreamed of which turned into Boxers I am proud
to have that represent the breed as they should be. She introduced me to
a whole new world of Boxers. I have chosen to do the best by the breed
I possibly can, producing quality boxers and not quantity. I have had my
heartaches over the past few years and my joys. Although right now we are
showing on a limited basis we hope to have several young hopefuls in the
show ring by the first of the year next year to start their wonderful career.
We take great Pryde in our breeding program always trying to ensure it
is for the betterment of the breed, producing sound temperment with conformation
you can show with Pryde.
