ALL ABOUT US

We are a small select show/breeding kennels based in a beautiful rural setting near Market Weighton, East Yorkshire, only 5 minutes from the M62 motorway. We started showing in 1986 having owned Great Danes and doing some obedience with German Shepherds, which we had a lot of fun with. .

My first Show dog was a Great Dane, Aserets Ringquest- 'Bonnie' in 1986
In 1998 we purchased our first boxer, having admired the breed for a number of years; we decided to buy in a smart brindle/white bitch from the Roamaro Kennels called 'ROAMARO NIKE' (Cybil). We did fairly well with her at the championship and open shows that she attended and we registered our Affix 'DIBRID' shortly after her first birthday. In 2001 we decided to mate her; she produced a lovely litter of seven puppies born on Christmas Eve 2001. Out of this litter we kept a smart brindle/white bitch called DIBRID HUSTLE 'N' BUSTLE (Eva). She did well at the shows and qualified for Crufts by winning a Best in show at 16 months old. Unfortunelty Eva wasn't the best producer in the whelping box and despite been mated to different Stud dogs never produced anything suitable that we could continue her lines from.

We have always admired the continental lines, mainly for there beautiful heads and super bone which does not appear to be in the majority of some of the British boxers seen today. This is when we approached the world famous MARBELTON BOXERS and ended up buying in Marbelton Rockin' Robin & Marbelton Star Attraction in 2002 they are are both superb stud dogs and between them have sired nearly 80 litters in the UK to date, a few years later we bought in the lovely bitch Marbelton Miss Dior, we have done very well indeed in the showring with Dior, she is Crufts qualified 2006 & has recently qualified for 2007. With now having such solid lines to base our kennel upon with excellent QUALITY bloodlines of continental and top English lines we are certainly looking forward to what we are sure to be a bright future.
We enjoy showing the dogs although mainly they are our pets. We never showed the dogs as often as we would of liked, due to the fact that I never passed my driving test until 2004 which was a great weight lifted off my shoulders, gone were the days of relying on people for lifts to shows and catching trains to shows with 2 dogs and the show bag which was something of a nightmare to say the least. Anyway glad to say that that is now all behind me and I can now enter any show that I like without the worry. We have a lovely boy who we are campagning in 2007 'STAR QUALITY AT DIBRID' and he is certainly living up to his name, he is sired by our red & white top producing stud dog Walter and looks very very promising. At 10 months of age has won numerous Best Puppy in show awards, and Best puppy and best of breed awards also Reserve Best Puppy in Show Awards also he is MULTIPLE CRUFTS qualified 2008.

'STAR QUALITY AT DIBRID'
I also started judging boxers in 2005 at Open level which I enjoy, and I have a few appointments in the UK during 2007. I am currently on the Boxer Breed Councils 'C' list. I am a also a member of several boxer breed clubs in the UK. We have also qualified all our show dogs at some point in their career for CRUFTS.
We are proud to say that ALL our dogs are heart-tested clear!! we don't have one dog that is above a grade '1', all our dogs are tested after a year old proving that we do not just breed for temperament and good looks but also the health aspect which is VERY important.
We aim to keep you informed of all our dogs developments through their puppy stage to their current years with us. We will be updating the website quiet frequently for you to enjoy.
