Satan
Champion Nirvana Star Blaze
Our first Boxer.
John & Roxie Kennedy
Taratan Boxers is a relatively small kennel situated
in Melbourne Australia, and had its beginnings in 1982 when we purchased a red and white
male bred from the Lorralane bloodlines. This line originated from the famous
Gremlin Boxers of England. This first Boxer was Nirvana Star Blaze (later to become
Champion Nirvana Star Blaze "SATAN"). Satan did us proud in the show arena winning
countless groups and several BIS & RUBIS, amassing over 700 points before we lost him
at age 5 years.
Tara
Champion Crowlee Miss Winkadale
Our second Boxer as a baby puppy.
In 1983 we purchased a mate for Satan by the name of Crowlee Miss Winkadale.
"Tara", later to become Champion Crowlee Miss Winkadale. These two Boxers quite often
contributed to us winning double challenge at shows. Tara was not a big group winner, her
claim to fame was going Reserve Challenge to Champion TonUp Glory Be (Top Winning Bitch
of the day) under Joseph Heine, Boxer specialty judge and breeder from USA.
Tara was
the dam of Champion Taratan Shower Bonnet "Rebecca" who amongst her countless wins
including BIS & BIG, won BPIS at the First Boxer National in Melbourne under June
Grover (UK). BIS at Boxer Assoc. of Victoria Specialty under Valerie Garrett (UK) and wait
for it! ! ! !
Best Exhibit in Show ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW 1991 under Kari Jarwinnen (Finland).
The entry was 7,321 dogs.
Rebecca
Champion Taratan Shower Bonnet
Champion Crowlee Miss Winkadale was put to Champion GunTop Rocket Man (from
NSW) to achieve this magnificent specimen of a Boxer.
Miss Winkadale also produced
Champion Taratan Miss Genevieve with the help of Champion Nirvana Star Blaze.
Miss Genevieve was put to Champion Moljon Surprise Packet at Marbleton (imp UK)
and from that litter a magnificent red and white bitch was born, Champion Taratan Easy
Goin After she became a champion she had an unfortunate accident, losing an eye. This
resulted in her early retirement from the ring, but this did not prevent her from producing
champion stock to carry on her lines.
When we lost Shower Bonnet we decided to lease back her full litter sister,
Taratan Light-n-Lass who we had sold and never went in a show ring. We put her to Champion
Belmanta Thief of Hearts, BIS at the 1st Boxer National under June Grover (UK). This
mating produced an outstanding brindle male Grand Champion Taratan Summer Rain.
Radin
Grand Champion Taratan Summer Rain
The first Boxer Grand Champion in Australia.
Summer Rain has produced
Champion Taratan Autumn Leaves, Champion Taratan Summer Holiday, and Grand Champion
Taratan Royal Command.
1997-98 was Radin's best year.
BIS Utility Club of NSW, BIS Western Districts Specialty NSW, and TOP BOXER National Dog
Point Score.
After producing many champions over the ensuing years we come to the present.
We have had a sucession of champions down from all the above Boxers, many BIS winners, including Ch.Tarantan Free N Easy. Also Multi Group winners too numerous to mention. As you go through our pages you will see many of the wonderful Boxers we have produced, not always owned by ourselves, but also by other kennels around Australia.
Our young stock at the moment is showing lots of promise and keeping the Taratan flag flying high!
Taratan Royal Raider
Raider is our Latest "Royal Winner" winning Dog Challenge at the 2003 Melbourne Royal Show from the Puppy Dog Class.
Ch.Taratan Tramp About
We had a very successful day at last year's Royal as Raider's sire, Champion Taratan Tramp About (above) won the Open Dog Class and Reserve Challenge Dog. We also won second in the Intermediate Dog Class with Ch.Taratan Eye of the Tiger and third with Ch. Taratan She Aint No Lady in the Open Bitch Class.
To sum up, we have produced 22 Champions, 2
Grand Champions and our two foundation Boxers to make it 26 Champions in 19 years of breeding.
