DB is our first UK stud dog in residence. Born in the US of two beautiful English parents, with a goofy, outgoing temperament and, thus far, a superb Doppler to recommend him (1.5 flow rate and no murmur), as well as a clear holter report. DB has begun his show career with Kimberly Pastella-Calvacca. It remains to be seen whether or not she has what it takes to focus this young man's attention. ;-)

DB (for Dutton Baby) was raised here at Minstrel Boxers when his dam, Stelvanna's Maggie May (Maggie), his sire, Faerdorn Just The Biz For Global (Dutton) and their owner, Kti Jensen, settled in for a long winter's nap in northern Virginia.

My partner in Minstrel, Bob Blumberg, and I have joined forces with Kti in her commitment to breeding long-lived UK lines here in the States.

Longevity, health, temperament and structural integrity (and natural ears, too!) are what we seek to foster here in North America, in both the pet home and the show ring. So far, so good. :-)

When he was good, he was very, very good...

When he was bad, he was horrid...
