By 2005 the first litters with the gene for the natural short tail were born in our kennel and by 2006 our sister kennel in the Communidad Valenciana, Spain, was established and FCI-recognized: “ de la Finca Sapho“.
We finally decided to follow up both options. Quitting was not an option and neither was giving up the principle of free choice. Another: trying to buy a property in a “free country” and to set up a new kennel. Cattanach Project – natural short tailed Boxers – into our breeding, an option firmly advocated by Mrs Pat Withers. One was the introduction of the fascinating Dr. By the turn of the century outside infringements on the breed itself and on the freedom of its breeders grow tumor like: we were forced to search for alternatives. The board decided to go along with a ban on cropped boxers on their shows. In the meantime Mariette, after having worked for sixteen years on the board of the Belgian boxer club, resigned – on principle.
A good choice, culminating – at this point in time – in the success of Atibox-Worldchampion 2006 “Brahms van Sapho’s Hoeve”. Our breeding program initially based on solid Dutch and German lines began to incorporate some of the better Italian, French and Spanish “bloodlines”. On the other side, Ingmar participated successfully with his own “working boxers” – Sultan and Ursu – at major working trials such as the Atibox. Lots of great Boxers – that later on marked the show and breeding scene – came as young dogs to us, to be trained by Ingmar for their much needed working certificate. Not so much in our own country but abroad: initially the Netherlands, France, and Germany later on all over Europe : Night, Roy, Thor, Turio, Vivian.Ī training school was established with Ingmar in charge and with a learning program based largely on the principles of Karen Pryor.

Ingmar, born and raised between Boxers, entered the professional kennel life and added the training and showing skills we obviously lacked.
