American Boxer Top Twenty
Welcome to the Eighteenth Annual Top Twenty Competition!
Dogs eligible for this competition are the best of our Breed. They
are selected on the basis of the number of dogs and bitches that they
have defeated in their Best of Breed wins. Group and Best in Show
wins are not counted. The statistics come directly from the American
Kennel Club and include all wins from January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2005.
The judges for this event are selected by the Top Twenty Committee
members. Members of the Top Twenty Committee who are either the
owner or breeder of a dog in competition are ineligible to nominate or
vote for the judges. The identity of the judges is not revealed until the
evening of the competition. There are three judges: an AKC licensed
judge, licensed to judge Boxers and at least four other breeds in any
Group; a breeder or breeder judge; and a handler. This year, the winner
will be announced at the conclusion of competition.
We should all support our Top Twenty Competition as it adds prestige
to our breed. We should also be proud of these dogs and bitches as a
lot of “blood, sweat and tears” is involved in “making the Top 20.” They
are truly the best of our Breed!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have
worked hard to make this event a success and look forward to seeing
you all again this year.
Also, the Top Twenty Committee would like to express their most
sincere thanks and appreciation to Bobbie Wagner, whose hard work
and expertise help put the finishing touches on our Gala Evening.
The Top 20 Winner Prizes offered by Purina include:
Coupons for 150 lbs. of any Purina Dog Food
Purina, Chosen by Champions, Duffel Bag

JUDGING PROCEDURE
CONFORMATION TOP TWENTY EVENT
1. Each dog will be scored by each judge individually, using a Scale of Points
from the Standard.
2. The winner will be determined on the basis of the total score of each dog.
3. In the event of a tie, it shall be broken by using “Average Placement” (i.e. on a
scale of 1-10) marked by each judge prior to the marking of the score sheet,
as the determining factor.
Above are the simple ground rules that will be followed for the judging of this
exciting event. The rationale for this system is as follows:
Whenever a judge examines an individual dog and compares him, mentally, to the
judge’s picture of the ideal, the judge is going through the work of judging by scoring.
The scoring system adds the assignment of numerical values to the main factors of the
judging, and it demands that the judge indicate wherein he penalizes for less than ideal
characteristics. The judge must go on record when he scores. And more, he must go on
record part by part. He must also indicate the degree of deviation in the part from the
ideal. He must also score each before he actually judges it, by using the Average
Placement Scale of 1 through 10; in other words, he must look at the dog as a whole,
and place that dog on his scale, with a score of 10 meaning that the dog is in perfect
harmony with the judge’s picture of the ideal Boxer.
Scoring is much more time consuming than the comparison judging that we are
accustomed to in the show ring, where judges can handle 25 or more dogs an hour.
When scoring dogs, a judge can do no more than about 6 - 10 dogs an hour. But when
scoring is completed, it provides a written critique of the dog as seen by the judge. The
total score gives some sense of the “approximation of perfection” of the individual dog.
In theory, if we had numerical scores of the great Boxers of the past, we could compare
the scores of our present greats to them. So, in setting up the judging for the Top
Twenty, we have set up a system that can provide numerical norms for future
comparisons.
Scoring has another virtue. It is strong discipline on the judge. A fault can seem to
stand out to a judge. He can become sensitized to one difficulty or to one virtue. Scoring
checks this to marked degree. It reduces the idiosyncrasies of the individual judges.
One dog will enter the ring and will be scored completely by each judge. The dog
will be moved individually, and the judges will score the dog for movement. This process
will be repeated with one dog in the ring at a time, until all of the dogs have been
scored. The judges will sign each dog’s score sheet.
Points will be tabulated by an impartial panel, and results will be announced at the
conclusion of the judging.
While in the ring, judges will limit their conversation to their stewards and will then
only discuss judging procedure.

Mr. Reynolds has been involved in the sport of dogs since
1956. His Renaldo kennel of Scottish Terriers housed five
Canadian Best in Show winners and produced over 30 Canadian

BREEDER JUDGE
Ida Baum
My husband, Dick, and I acquired our first Boxer in 1959. He was
a three year old Bang Away son. While he did not contribute to our
breeding program, he was a wonderful family dog and sealed our
partnership with the Boxer breed forever. Our first champion was a
brindle bitch called Cara-Bees Midnight Mist, novice owner-handled
by Dick. She was of Canzonet breeding and was the foundation for
Moon Valley Boxers.
Over the years, Moon Valley produced Moon Valley’s Merry
Weather LOM, her sons, Ch. Moon Valley’s Solar Flare SOM, Ch.
Moon Valley’s Sun N Shadow LOM, and Ch. Araby’s Shortstop SOM.
More recently came Ch. Moon Valley’s Main Attraction SOM, who
was a Top Twenty winner and won 25 BIS, Ch. Moon Valley No
Doubt, who was Reserve WD at the 2004 American Boxer Club and
Ch Moon Valley No Foolin,’ the Reserve WD at the 2005 American
Boxer Club. These are but a few of the many Moon Valley champions
produced from a breeding program averaging only one litter a year.
In partnership with my daughter, Nancy Baum Schepis, Moon Valley
Boxers hopes to continue our tradition of breeding “quality, not
quantity” for many years to come.
I would like to thank the American Boxer Club for voting me the
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.

HANDLER JUDGE
Kimberley Pastella-Calvacca
I am a third generation Boxer exhibitor. I am sure you all know my
grandfather, Chic Ceccarini, who was in Boxers since the 1950’s. I was born
into the Boxer breed and have shown Boxers my entire life - through grade
school and my Bachelors Degree in Business and Hospital Administration.
I have had the honor to show many Number One Boxers and many top
Boxers. I have won the Breed at American Boxer Club 5 times, including:
three times with Ch. Hi-Techs Johnny J of Boxerton, once with his
grandfather, Ch. Hi-Techs Arbitrage, and also with Ch. Turos Cachet; 8 Boxers
to Best Of Breed at Westminster Kennel Club - Arbitrage 2x, Johnny J 3x
and his son, Basic Edition, 1x; Two group Firsts at Westminster Kennel
Club and various other placements.
My most notable ongoing achievement in the Boxer world is to have
worked with the Truesdales for 21 years. In those years, we have
accomplished five generations of BIS winners with two dogs, five generations
of Stud Dog class winners at the American Boxer Club, soon to be five
generations of Sires of Merits - so far one Legion of Merit, the only living
LOM, with two more on the way and one bitch who is a Legion of Merit.
I have also had the honor of winning Winners Dog 3x, Winners Bitch 2x,
Best of Opposite 3x, and the TOP TWENTY 3x.
I love to travel and sightsee and workout when time permits.
It is a great honor to have been selected as this year’s Top Twenty handler
judge. I look foward to judging the Best our Breed has to offer. These animals
are a tribute to the dedication of our Boxer fanciers.

“CASH”
“Cash” is a handsome, dark red fawn male with a beautiful
head, short back and beautiful movement, which exemplifies
all of the fine qualities that are representative of a Boxer.
Bred by Carolyn R. S. Pressley, he comes from great Boxer
lines. His dam, C-Era Dar’s Sweet Sensation, is the daughter
of Ch Dar’s Divine Miss M, who was Winners Bitch and Best of
Winners at the American Boxer Club Show in 1993. His sire is
Am Can Ch Keil’s Wimbledon (SOM) who was a Group
Specialty and Best in Show winner. His grandfather is Am Can
Ch Keil’s Vision (SOM) and his great-grandfather is Ch Keil’s
Dynasty (SOM LOM).
Finishing his championship at eleven months of age, he is a
multiple Breed, Group and Specialty winner. Previously shown
on a limited basis by owner, he is beautifully presented in 2006
by Marcelo Chagas.
Our thanks to all of the judges who have recognized his
wonderful qualities and our best wishes to all of the Top Twenty

admired and applauded for his correct conformation, gorgeous breed
type and dynamic presence. His showmanship always guarantees

“DARLA”
In our eyes, Darla, CH Kaja’s Little Rascal, is the epitome of
grace, beauty and style and has truly been a dream come true.
It has been an exhilarating experience to present Darla to the
Boxer show ring fancy. Under the impeccable direction and
handling of Mr. Mel Holloman, Darla has made an outstanding
presence, not only for herself, but for all those who have had
an association with her. Many, many thanks go to Janet Smith,
her breeder, for granting us the opportunity for this experience.
Darla should by now be a very proud mommy, and our next
dream is that she continues her winning ways through her
progeny. Thanks go to the many judges who pointed her out
and to the fans ringside who cheered her on. It has indeed
been a remarkable and gratifying experience for us all.

CH MANNIX’S EXEMPLAR
“JEFF”
“Jeff” was finished by Carmen at nine months of age. Carmen
and Gerard knew from the start that Jeff would be a great dog,
and so he was. When he was one year old, he began his career
in the breed ring with Carmen. It has been a wonderful two
years for us. Jeff has been the winner of multiple Specialties
and Best in Show. This is Jeff’s second year in the Top Twenty.
My thanks go to Carmen for two great years with Jeff and for
making my dreams come true.
We are very proud of Jeff’s achievements and are looking
forward to watching his multiple winning offspring at the shows.
Some of these offspring are Sig’s Image of Sapphire (Sadie),
Martrau’s Just a Dream (J.J.), and Windkist J & J’s Singular
Sensation (Sassy).
Jeff has had a wonderful show career and is now back home
“living the good life” and producing beautiful puppies that depict
breed type, soundness, and great temperament.
Our congratulations to all of this year’s Top Twenty contenders,
their owners and handlers. Best of luck in the future.

point under Faye Haupt. By the end of the year, Jasmine had
not only finished her championship, but ended up in the Top
Twenty being Specialed for the last 3 months of the year.
We are very grateful to the Steele family for their continuous
support over the years. Kimberlie and Jasmine have started
this year off with a bang and expect another successful year
as one of the top Specials.
Vickie & Tony are very appreciative to
be in a co-ownership with Jeff and Nan Eisily Bennett.

CH JACQUET’S LORD BYRON DE KEVEL
“BYRON”
Byron was one of a litter of nine beautiful puppies produced by our bitch, Ch Jacquet’s
Is A Bella and sire, Ch Jacquet’s Super Nova. We believe the best time to evaluate
puppies is the moment they are born. The minute Byron was born, we knew that he
was going to be something special. He presented with a square body and solid
headpiece. We could only hope he had the same elegant movement of his parents.
Byron earned his championship certificate at the young age of nineteen months. He
was owner breeder handled in the Puppy classes, accumulating his first five points,
one of which being a four point Major at the Philadelphia Kennel Club Show under
Judge Mr. Ronald H Menaker. We decided, following this win, to turn Byron over to a
professional handler to complete his championship. Sixteen shows later, on April 1,
2005, Byron was a new champion. He won two more Majors at the New Brunswick
Kennel Club New Jersey Boxer Club Specialty under International Judge Dr. Jose
Luis Payro and the Delaware Water Gap Kennel Club under Judge Mrs. Joan P Scott.
During these sixteen shows, Byron also had four Reserves, two of which were Majors.
During the July 4th weekend, we gave Byron to professional handler Pete Yocum at
the Southern Maryland Kennel Club shows to determine how competitive Byron could
be as a Best of Breed competitor. Byron won both shows, resulting in our commitment
in August of 2005 to special him. The team of Byron and Pete cracked the Top Twenty
by the end of October. During this time, Byron gained momentum with a win on the
Salem Virginia circuit at the New River Valley Kennel Club show under Judge Dr. Lee
Reasin and the Ramapo Kennel Club show under International Judge Dr. Hideaki
Nakazawz. Byron finished the year strong, winning back-to back shows during the
last weekend of the year, securing his Top Twenty ranking. Byron won back-to-back
Best of Breed competitions on three separate occasions during 2005.
Byron has started the 2006 year strong, by winning breeds under Judges Debra
Thornton and Elena Spector, then winning the Working Group under Vincent Mulligan.
We are hopeful to continue a solid 2006 campaign against the highly competitive
Boxers in the East.
However, our favorite aspect of Byron is his temperament, because he has a sweet
disposition; we have used Byron to help children overcome their fear of dogs. We
have also taken Byron to a retirement home in our neighborhood to bring smiles to
the faces of the elderly residents. Once Byron retires, he plans on pursuing
opportunities as a therapy dog.

BECKENCALL’S DAYDREAM BELIEVER
“KEEFER”
We are proud and honored to present “Keefer” as one of the
Top Twenty Boxers. What a thrill it is to own this handsome,
regal boy.
He became a Canadian champion at ten months old and shortly
thereafter attained his American Championship. In only six
months as a Special in 2005, he accumulated 19 BOB’s, 4
BISS’s, and 2 Group placements. His excellent conformation
qualities and wonderful temperament have made him an asset
to the breed. We would like to thank all the judges who have
recognized these qualities and made these wins possible.
“Keefer” is fulfilling our DREAMS, and we look forward to the
future in this incredible sport.
A special thank you to our good friend and handler, Mel
Holloman, for his expert care, training and handling of “Keefer”
and for his continuous advice, guidance, and encouragement.
Without you, Mel, we would not be here.
Congratulations to all the Top Twenty contenders!

CH IRONDALE’S UNCOMMON VALOR
“SAMSON”
There are few times in one’s life where an experience challenges and refines core
values - an experience that strengthens the bonds of friendship and reminds us of what is
truly important. Recognizing that the purpose of the experience was far different than you
had anticipated is when real blessings can be realized.
Samson (Ch. Irondale’s Uncommon Valor) is truly a blessing to The Doty and Bettis
families. We embarked on a journey in 2005 that would invoke feelings of anxiety and then
comfort, confusion and then clarity, agony and then joy. A journey that would challenge
friendships, change paradigms about how one sees the world, put into perspective that
which is truly important and ultimately strengthen the bonds of friendship. All of us have
experienced the daily anxieties, confusion, and agony that exhibiting our animals brings
us. We have also experienced the daily comfort, clarity and joy of the same. These are the
natural, daily feelings we all go through while exhibiting our animals. But, what about the
human relationships that are the natural bi-product of this wonderful sport we are in? Do
we miss out on opportunities to show unconditional love to each other? We certainly have
what many say is the best example of unconditional love in our dogs. Each of us has
experienced that unconditional love through our dogs, and we yearn for this from our
human family. The Doty and Bettis families were challenged with this through our journey
in 2005. Many of our insecurities exhibited themselves when a show didn’t go a certain
way, or there were periods of time where a win did not occur. I can remember days where
I would question what I was doing, try to lay blame, or grow anxious about even doing this
any more. But then I would remember, hey, that’s my friend showing my dog, and my
friend is probably having the same feelings that I am. Ultimately, the experience has
made a strong friendship stronger and brought two families closer than they have ever
been. We have been truly blessed to have had the pleasure to exhibit Samson and, more
importantly, blessed that our friends, Jim and Wendy Bettis, could exhibit him for us.
Being a part of the 2006 American Boxer Club Top Twenty is truly an honor and something
we will never forget. Through the years, Samson has also proven to be a successful stud
dog as well. He has 5 champions to date with many get pointed throughout the country.
For more details, please feel free to speak with our friends, Jim and Wendy Bettis.
We are honored to be among the best dogs of 2005 and would like to congratulate all
contenders. We wish each contender good luck in this year’s Top Twenty.
One may say, “It’s only a dog” or “It’s only a dog show.” What this person misses is
the opportunity to refine oneself, strengthen human bonds of friendship, realize the true
blessing of the larger human family and understand what unconditional love truly means.
So I say embrace these opportunities and allow them to be the blessing they were meant
to be. Good Luck and God Bless!

CH BAR-K’S TO DIE FOR
“BARNEY”
Being able to present “Barney” to the Top Twenty competition
is a great privilege. Bobby, Barbara and I had high hopes for
Barney from the very beginning, and he has never let us down.
He finished at a very young age, and along the way took the
Breed over 11 Specials in Michigan from the classes.
After taking a year to rest and to allow his kennel mate, “Lonnie,”
to have his turn to be a Special, Barney restarted his career in
2005 with numerous prestigious BIS show wins. Thanks again
to Lori McClain for finishing Barney and to Jody Paquette for
specialing him in 2005.
In December, Barney headed north to finish his Canadian
championship and to be the new Special of Stan and Eve
Whitmore of Haviland Boxer fame. While in Canada, he is
handled exclusively by John Griffith. We here at Bar-K wish
Barney and John the best of luck in the Top Twenty.

Sassy loves showing. Her confidence and showmanship compliment

Boxers are proud of our girl, who exemplifies our thirty years of
breeding.
Our gratitude and thanks to Marianne Claflin. With Tuni’s talent and
expertise, Sassy was Reserve Winner’s Bitch at the American Boxer
Club Specialty and finished her championship by going Winners Bitch
at the American Boxer Club Regional Specialty in 2004. Then, in
May, 2005, Tuni won an Award of Merit at the American Boxer Club
Specialty. Sassy has had a wonderful Specials career - finishing in
the Top Twenty, thanks to her handler and special friend, Tuni. Sassy
would also like to thank Kellye St. John for taking care of her on the
road and doing a wonderful job with her in junior showmanship.
We would also like to thank the judges who have acknowledged
Sassy’s qualities and our many Boxer breeders and friends who
have encouraged and supported us. Sassy is now looking forward
to having puppies in 2006.

weekends in some very large entries. She is a multiple Group
winner and an Award of Merit winner at Westminster under
Mr. James Edward Clark. Blackout ended last year ranked
at #6, not bad for being shown by a student who can only go
to shows on Saturdays and Sundays! We have high hopes
for this young bitch.

CH SCENICVU’S IMPETUOUS OF MAXL
“ABBY”
As a youngster, we knew “Abby” was something special. Obtaining her first
Major from the 9-12 Puppy class, she has never looked back. She was the
2003 AMERICAN BOXER CLUB RESERVE WINNERS BITCH from the 9-12
class under Breeder/Judge Betty Mentzer. She was also Reserve 9-12 in the
Futurity under Breeder/Handler Chris Baum. Later that year, she finished as
the 2003 AMERICAN BOXER CLUB REGIONAL WINNERS BITCH under
respected Judge Joe Gregory. Shortly thereafter, she won several Breeds,
Group placements and a BISS at the Michigan Boxer Club under respected
Breeder/Judge Stephanie Abraham with a 100+ entry.
All grown up, she entered the ring in January, winning the Group on her first
outing. She proceeded to become the nations #5 Boxer (breed points) in 2005,
garnering over 40 Breeds to include 8 Best in Specialty Show wins. We believe
the breed ring is the essence of dog shows and are grateful for her numerous
special Breed wins. Our respect and appreciation to the breeder/judges who
rewarded her, including John Connolly, Pat Mullen, Hal Biermann, Eve
Whitmore, William Hargreaves, Bruce Voran and to the many All- Breed judges,
Nancy Simmons, Robert Moore, Michael Gelinas, Terry Temple, Doris Cozart,
Jane Forsyth, just to name a few, for their nod. She was exhibited at the 2006
AKC INVITATIONAL CLASSIC and was chosen for a coveted AWARD OF
MERIT under respected Judge Irene Bivin. Her many Group wins were exciting
as well, and an ALL BREED BEST IN SHOW under Judge Leif-Herman Wilberg
was icing on the cake! She has been handled in her Specials career by her
best friend, Lori McClain, who has always and continues to believe in her.
“Abby” is a feminine, elegant bitch, combining type and balance with a beautiful,
chiseled headpiece, expressive eyes and an outgoing, charming temperament.
She is an absolute joy to own, and we are privileged and delighted to present
her tonight as one of the nation’s top Boxers...

SAPPHIRE’S WILD PITCH OF BURLWOOD
“SIERRA”
WHAT STARTED AS A “WILD PITCH”
BECAME THE “PERFECT PITCH!”
“Sierra’s” career has been filled with many highlights.... multiple
BOB’s, multiple Group placements and Group wins. Along the
way were multiple BISS and BIS wins. Those were the wins
that put the “extra icing” on an already very sweet piece of
cake. We would like to thank all the judges for recognizing
Sierra’s true and outstanding breed type.
There are not enough ways to say THANK YOU to Ricky and
Leigh Ann Justice. They opened their home and their hearts.
Ricky, you made Sierra the beautiful show girl that she is, and
she gave you all she had to give.
To Steve and Tina Bostic - we would like to send our heartfelt
appreciation for standing behind her and believing in our girl!
We are forever grateful!
Every breeding holds a promise......
who knew this promise would be so special.

BURLWOOD’S DRIVE’M WILD DREAMWEAVER
“DALLAS”
Dallas finished his Championship at the New Jersey Boxer Club
in conjunction with the 2004 American Boxer Club Regional
under highly respected Judge Anne Rogers Clark, by going
WD/BOW and BOB over many top ranked Boxers, handled by
Lori McClain.
He then went on to Mexico, where he became the #1 Boxer
and #2 All Breed and acquired many BIS and BISS alike for
the year of 2004 with the talented hands of Jorge Pinzon.
Since his return to the States, Dallas has acheived the #21
spot in the American Boxer Club 2005 rankings in just a few
months of limited showing with his good friend and handler,
Christa Cook-Chiaurro. I look forward to yet another good
year with Dallas and Christa, as they have a great start already
this year.

AKC CH GAIGA’S KENNEL FUTURIAN LADY DI
“SHEEVA”
“Sheeva” came to my kennel as a multiple Best In Show winning Boxer bitch
from Brazil. By the age of 15 months, she was Brazil’s #1 Working Dog and #2
Dog All Breeds, earning over 30 All Breed Best In Show awards to her credit.
But, most importantly, she came into my heart and life quite simply as
“Sweetheart.” Due to AKC registration issues, “Sheeva” finished her AKC
Championship twice, both times in less than one month, earning Working Group
First placements along the way from the classes.
During her career in the USA, she earned numerous Breed wins in supported
entries, as well as Best In Specialty shows. Her ability to shine in the Group
rings earned her multiple Working Group Firsts, as well as numerous other Group
placements. She was awarded an All Breed Best In Show at the Chambersburg
Area Kennel Club Dog Show on 12-04-2004.
Based on commentary from judges, breeders, and fellow handlers, “Sheeva” is
probably known best for her outstanding movement. She is one of those special
ones - who was born to show. Her ability to channel her enthusiasm and
concentrate her energy culminated in a breed specimen who, through her
movement in the ring, earned her recognition from not only judges but her most
fierce competitors.
As “Sheeva” prepares for the next phase of her career, that of Motherhood, she
will be remembered for her many accomplishments - but perhaps, most
importantly, she will always be known and loved and will live in my heart forever,
as America’s “Sweetheart.”
