about usus
Welcome!
We are a husband and wife breeder/show kennel team who, together with our young son Joe, are based in a sleepy North Warwickshire village, a short drive from the Belfry Golf Course which is home to The Ryder Cup Golf Championship, just off the M42 motorway link. Our dogs enjoy the fresh country air, and our farming neighbours work either arable land, or a combination of arable, beef and dairy cattle - in fact our dairy supplies travel no less than 1 mile from friesan herd: to our door!!! Now that's excellent food mileage!! We share our kennel of boxers with our rescued Bengal cat Bailey, our Amazon parrot Charlie and flock of chickens, most of whom are ex battery hens that we rehabilitate. They provide us and our with plentiful egg supplies! Bring an empty egg box when you visit and help yourself from their nest boxes!
Our Story:
...the past .....
By way of background, involvement, fascination and love of the boxer began, for Debbi, well over 30 years ago after a chance meeting with a boxer bitch who was being sick near her parents' home!
A puppy was kept from that same bitch's subsequent litter - as bred by her owners - and Debbi began to show the pup for them after getting to know the breeders.
They also kindly introduced her to dog training and to City of Birmingham Ch Show (then held at Perry Park, Birmingham!). That same pup become Debbi's own first show dog ("Palibak Gentleman Jim") and he was by Wanderobo Cool It x Palibak Scarlet Fantastic.
The rest as they say is history! Debbi was hooked! However, the poignant part to the story was that Debbi's grandfather (who died very young and before Debbi was born) was a serviceman in the Royal Navy. He had seen lots of boxers during his naval duties, and always dreamt about owning boxers. Back in those days, of course, money very tight; there was the war, rationing and his untimely passing at such a young age meaning the boxer dream for him was never fulfilled. Debbi's great great grandma bred Sealyham Terriers and kept copious amounts of chickens! The traits for Debbi obviously stem from there!!
Back to Debbi's early involvement, love of the breed grew and grew after getting her first boxer, the "Glanzend" affix was soon after granted to her from the Kennel Club and "Bullbo Sugar Ray" (Ch Norwatch Sunhawk Raffles x Blymhills Bashful Beauty at Bullbo) joined the show team.
The next addition was the lovely bitch "Bitza Enola Gay for Glanzend" (Ch Bitza Shout n Roar x Pimms Perfection of Tyegarth), who did the kennel proud, quickly followed by a young hopeful "Faerdorn Caugh 'Cha Lookin at Glanzend" (Faerdorn Joker in the Pack x Faerdorn for the Good Times at Rayfos). Both bitches faired really well in the ring, however a marriage break up forced the kennel to disband. Debbi did, however, contine her interest in the breed, as well as her carrying out judging appointments across the country.
... the present ...
With the Glanzend affix lapsed, Debbi started all over. What to register as a new affix?! She and Ashley felt they needed something what was a depicition of the boxer: they are certainly DAREing and at times rather DEVILish and so put together you get DAERVLISH (pronounced DAREvlish). The new affix was soon granted and new bloodlines acquired.
Ashley prefers the background side here at Daervlish, he is in his element whelping babies in the nest box, keeping the kennels spotless etc.. Debbi however literally "takes the lead" in the show ring and also continues to judge. She awards CC's in the breed, and also co-owns an afghan in partnership with long time close friends and breeders Gez & Colin Hughes - Gezancol Cloak n Dagger ("Vinny").
... and to the future ...
All our puppies are named after Debbi's obsession with a certain Irish rock band(!). More importantly our breeding programme incorporates the very best of British bloodlines - we occasionally introduce carefully selected European lines to enhance and compliment our bitches. However the absolute paramount to us is health, type and temperament. We take breeding very seriously, and as such feel membership of the KC Assured Breeder Scheme a testament to our dedication to the welfare of our beloved breed in this country. We are not simply "breeders and exhibitors"; we genuinely care about the future of the boxer and where it will be left in 50 years to come - with that in mind matings are carefully thought out and prepared for. We set out below some of the things you can expect from us as standard when buying a puppy from us:
* our puppies are always reared in a home environment, with socialisation, care and love in abundance
* we breed only from sound, healthy, stock
* ALL breeding stock is heart tested under the Boxer Breed Council guidelines; and
* we ask all prospective bitch owners who approach us for a stud to test also
* we are Kennel Club Assured Breeders; our puppies are therefore sold insured, KC registered with a full 5 generation pedigree certificate, diet & information sheet, microchipping, vet-check, sales contract - and all Daervlish boxers also receive their own Christmas card in December each year!
* we are at the end of the telephone to help and advise for the LIFE of the puppy, not just following sale
* we plan litters carefully, and vet all prospective owners thoroughly
* occasionally we have older stock available to suitable homes or know other reputable kennels with availability
We are proud that our lines win well for others and also breed on for them - we will always consider selling a show prospect to others, provide advice and help on showing, etc..
We hope you have enjoyed reading all about us - do have a look at our "News" page for news, updates and snippets, and also have a browse of our "Album Page".
Above All - Enjoy This Unique and Fabulous Breed - THE BOXER!
