The History of Newlaithe Boxers
We originally established NEWLAITHE BOXERS with a Bitch sired by Avonbard Othello, Great Grandson of Axel Van Ban Oey and the great Frolich Von Dom out of a Wardrobes bred bitch from CH. Justice and Wardrobes Silver Spurs. Both my late husband and myself had a love for Boxers from day one.
We were extremely fortunate in producing a Champion out of the third litter of the foundation bitch; however, in the early years one or two other bitches had been purchased in an endeavor to produce winning stock.
CH. NEWLAITHE ARIADNE was destined to set a new standard of Boxer to aim for, taking seven CC's in succession in 1971, being a Group Winner and Runner Up for Best In Show All Breeds Championship Shows, and having the distinction of winning under Dutch, Italian, American, UK Variety and Specialist judges. Totaling 11 CC's making NEWLAITHE Top Bitch Kennel for 1971.

NEWLAITHE NESTOR, my favorite Boxer, failed to get his 3rd CC - probably because he was the same age as QUIBBLER and at that time we were showing all three males at every show. However, NESTOR did have many Best In Shows and also 105 Junior Warrant points (25 points qualifying for JW).
At this point in 1980 Progressive Axonopathy hit our breeding programme with ARIADNE and QUIBBLER being totally involved as genetic carriers, and they and their progeny were consequently withdrawn. NESTOR, however, was proven totally clear from the PA Gene and he and his offspring could progress.
I was not a happy person at this time - our successful Kennel decimated and the less informed of Boxerdom thinking things the less informed think! We went out to purchase overseas stock with which to re-build our Kennel. To that end CH. JAQUET BRASS IMAGE was purchased together with a Canadian Bitch from the Haviland Kennel. These two imports helped re-establish NEWLAITHE. Major support came from Charles and June Walker and their Dutch imports and today I could not have rebuilt NEWLAITHE without LYNPINE help. CH. NEWLAITHE MARIETTA was entirely Dutch/English bred. CH. NEWLAITHE HOT FASHION is a complete composite of Dutch American and English breeding. In the mid 80's a son of the Canadian Haviland bitch became Hong Kong Champion NEWLAITHE GREAT SYSTEM being Top Boxer and Top Winning Dog of all time in Hong Kong. Both my late husband Patrick and myself are International Championship Show Judges - I have judged at that level since 1979, Patrick accepted his first appointment in 1990. Patrick had been the Chairman of the second Premier Boxer Society in the UK, The Northern Boxer Club, for a total of 8 years and for 6 years had been honoured by being President. Patrick was also the Vice-Chairman (Chairman elect) of the UK Breed Council, up until his death in 1997. This is the body that as a consequence of its make-up from the 15 Boxer Breed Clubs - endeavors to care for the Breed in every respect. Patrick within Breed Council Chaired the "Code of Conduct" Committee and Chaired the "Judges Standard" Committee, this committee endeavors to produce a better-qualified judge for all levels of competition.
