In 2004 we got our first Boxer/Show dog from Valeska Boxers he was an 8 month old flashy golden brindle boy.  Tua is an absolute delight to live with and is a true companion, he's had some special wins and we are so proud of his achievements in the show ring and as a stud dog. Tua has well and truly excelled our expectations and we are just so delighted to own such a wonderful example of the breed.

Critiques:

Central Boxer Club April 2005 Judge: Ms Liz Cartledge - Belmanta Boxers (VIC)
Brindle & White, Compact body, dark eyes. Nice flow from neck into shoulders, topline into tailset. Good front, short hocks. Covers ground well. Best in Show, Best NZ Bred in Show

The Boxer Club Inc. June 2006 Judge: Sagra Tonkin – Tonantron Boxers (UK)
3 year old brindle male of quality got my eye, in superb condition well balanced head superb mouth & dark eyes. Good rise of skull long arched neck & well laid back shoulders level topline & strong  back good quarters he used well and moved with drive. Congratulations I have no hesitation to award him BIS. Best in Show, Best NZ Bred in Show

The Boxer Club Inc. October 2007 Judge: Mr Barrie Alton – Tarpen Boxers (UK)
Number two pushed him hard, I liked his head, super front short coupled, good depth of chest lovely topline, moved and showed well this helped him win the class. Driving back quarters was a pleasure to watch, best mover I’ve seen so far. Closing comments from Mr Alton: I thought the open dog was one of the best movers I’ve seen anywhere, at the moment, it was excellent. Best in Show, Best Open in Show

Central Boxer Club March 2010 Judge: Mr Bill Anderson - Bomark Boxers (VIC, Aust)
Well made dog of good size, balanced throughout in outline with a masculine head and good bone. Moderate angulation front and rear. Nicely arched, balanced, length of neck. Prefer slightly better flow into shoulders. Strong, straight back and good tail set. Strong head and muzzle, confident expression. Prefer less cheeks, slightly smaller ears for balance and a slightly darker eye True in gait, coming and going. Slightly more length in body allowed freedom of movement with moderate stride. 2nd in Stud Dog Class

The Boxer Club Inc Champ Show November 2010 Judge: Monique Hodgkinson - Tanyati Boxers (South Africa)
2nd: No 16. Greer and Davis’ Ch Valeska Who Ya Lookin At: 7 ½ year old b/w male presented in super condition and very well handled. Beautiful head, strong muzzle, excellent bite, and a gorgeous expression. Very good neck, flowing to a very good topline and correct tailset. Front assembly is very good, with good layback of shoulder blade, long upper arm and elbows held against the chest wall. Forelegs are well muscled and straight. Very good depth of chest and good tuckup, well coupled. Really super rear, well angulated and broad in upper and lower thigh. Movement is very good, even and efficient. He gave the winner of the class a very good run for his money!
