The family is leaning toward a boxer and I'm having some trouble
locating a puppy. There are several ads in the paper but if you
narrow those down by a search for OFA for example the results decrease
considerably. Out of 312 ads I only saw 4 that looked reasonable and
they were all for labs from hunting lines. Wondering if anyone knows
of available or upcoming litters in the Kentucky area. Specifically a
pet quality male fawn and white. Additionally some more information
would be great. Is there an active split between german/american
working/show lines as with some other breeds? I would be interested
in doing some tracking and obedience work with the dog. I also spend
a lot of time on the farm. Other than watching for overheating would
he be able to keep up? I've seen some bulldogs with serious breathing
problems.

AFAIK, good breeders don't advertise in newspapers. Contact the area
Boxer Breed Clubs as a first step, and keep in mind that good breeders
usually have waiting lists for thier puppies, so be patient. You may
want to expand your search to adjacent states, too. The right puppy will
be worth the time and effort. You should be able to find links to area
breed clubs he
