Welcome to Paradigm Boxers, where thoughtful breeding, health, temperament, and preservation of the Boxer breed have guided our program for more than 19 years.

Since 2007, we have been committed to producing Boxers that are healthy, structurally sound, athletic, and true to the breed in both appearance and character. Our breeding decisions are never based on looks alone. We carefully consider pedigree, temperament, longevity, structure, health history, and genetic compatibility when planning each litter.

Health screening is an important part of our program. Our breeding dogs are evaluated through a combination of echocardiography, Holter monitoring, hip and elbow assessment, kidney screening including SDMA, and DNA testing for conditions such as Degenerative Myelopathy and ARVC. We believe no single test tells the entire story, which is why results are considered alongside family history, veterinary evaluation, previous generations, and the overall health of the line.

Over the years, our program has incorporated both European and some American bloodlines, allowing us to select for balance, substance, athleticism, stable temperaments, and strong family companions. We continue to learn, adapt, and refine our practices as veterinary knowledge and health-screening tools evolve.

Most importantly, our puppies are raised with the goal of becoming deeply loved members of their families. We take pride not only in the puppies we produce, but in the relationships we build with the people who welcome a Paradigm Boxer into their home.

Objective temperament evaluation for stable, reliable Boxers.

The Volhard Temperament Test is a structured series of stimuli designed to evaluate a puppy’s natural predispositions and reactions. By assessing these core traits in a controlled environment, we can identify each individual’s strengths and suitability for various jobs or family lifestyles.

  • Social attraction
  • Following response
  • Restraint & stability
  • Sensitivity (touch, sound, sight)
  • Retrieve drive
  • Confidence & problem solving

Paradigm Boxers uses Volhard testing to ensure each puppy is placed where they will thrive.

TESTIMONIALS OF OWNERS

'I just wanted to say thank you for the most well rounded boxer imaginable! At 9 months and 57 lbs, Oliver is an absolute dream. He loves all dogs, kitties and birds. He loves everyone he meets without being excessively needy. Walks can still be a little scary for him but he is thriving at daycare a few days a week. Thank you again!! ' Lindy in Saskatoon
