Burnden Boxers are owned in partnership between Denise, Jeannine and Desnie Pye, who have all exhibited in the show ring and won Challenge Certificates. All three judge, Desnie and Jeannine at Open level and Denise is soon to progress to Championship level.
We bought our first boxer 'Rustar Reflection of Burnden' in 1982 from Paul and Tina Russell. From our very first litter, went on to be a multiple Championship show class winner including Crufts, also Monetary Miss at Burnden was the dam of our first Challenge Certificate winner Burnden Song of Sixpence.
All the boxers we have ever owned and bred have been direct decendants of 'Rustar Reflection of Burnden'. The 'Burnden' affix was first registered in 1984, since then we have bred three Champions - including a Miniature Pinscher! We've had three RCC winners and 5 Crufts winners and 4 further CC winners.
PUPPIES AVAILABLE SOON. SEE FUTURE PAGE.
