Puppies change so much, it is hard for anyone to look at 6-16 week old puppy and say with absolute certainty that the dog will turn out for show. If there isn't a Champion in the parents first few generations then the first quality show dog was probably great great grandparents so by the time you have the puppies in question, it still doesn't mean that they are anywhere near the standard of what a Boxer should look like. It can mean anything, and the definition is generally left up to the breeder in question. Not every puppy will get every good trait from the parents. Does that mean every puppy in the litter will be 'show quality' or have potential to be a Champion? No. If the sire of the litter is an AKC Champion then, hopefully more puppies in the litter will look closer to how a beautiful boxer is supposed to look. A Boxer may have to beat out 24 other Boxer dogs in the show that day in order to get a 3 point "major win". In order for a Boxer to get one or two points in our Region they have to beat out all the other Boxers competing that day to win those one or two points. If you do the math, it has to be a very special dog to get their title. It takes 15 points including 2 majors under different judges, for a dog to get an AKC Title. For most it takes months and months of showing with a professional handler, traveling all across the country. It is difficult for a boxer to get their Champion title. That means that the puppies sire is an actual Show Dog. Our puppies are out of AKC Titled Champion Boxers.
