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

Newlaithe's first dog

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

We went on to produce one of the best headed male Boxers in CH NEWLAITHE QUIBBLER - a struggle in his early showing - preferring
home to the Show ring. He was the Connoisseur's Boxer, being very difficult to fault technically but not the extrovert that ARIADNE was
NEWLAITHE ICARUS failed to take top honours but was Reserve CC at CRUFTS behind the World famous Marbelton Desperate Dan

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 70 Junior
Warrant points (25 points qualifying for JW)

 Newlaithe Nestor

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genetic carriers, and they and their progeny were consequently withdrawn.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 JACQUET BRASS IMAGE was purchased
together with a young Jacquet's male puppy and a Canadian Bitch from the Haviland Kennel - these 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

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.

Sadly Patrick passed away in 1997, however the NEWLAITHE Affix continues to thrive now with VIKKI VAN-BECK (our daughter)
re-joining the team; learning, showing and now even judging! We are both on The Northern Boxer Club's committee currently as
Chairman (Christine) and Secretary & Treasurer (Vikki)
