Diesel is our exciting young dog who is maturing into quite an
individual.  He is a line bred son of CH. Irondale's The Pretender
(Jared).  A dog owned by our handler Guy H. Fisher.  Diesel's mother is
a beautiful typey brindle bitch with lots of style.  Jared caught our eye as
an impressive stallion of a dog and, coming from draft horses, the
presence he possessed was something we very much wanted to
incorporate into our breeding program.  Diesel was able to receive
much in terms of style, as well as the substance a Boxer should have,
from his sire.  He is a great moving dog with a beautiful side gait.  
Diesel has a good head with a great stop, and beautiful dark brown
eyes.  His bite is wide and he has nice plush padding.  Furthermore
his temperament is absolutely second to none and he loves to show
himself off in the ring.  Diesel currently has 10 AKC points toward his
championship, 7 of which are owner handled.  Diesel can finish two 3
point majors and after taking some time off to grow and mature this
past Winter, he will be back out again at the major shows during the
Spring/Summer of 2012.

Thank you to the judges who have found this handsome, young, typey
dog.  We are looking forward to continuing to show him in the Open
Brindle class at some upcoming shows in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Pennsylvania.
