Our most recent champion at Benton Boxers, Rosie started her show career in fine style winning Puppy
Bitch at Cloghran Ch show aged just 6 months. This was on the day that Ch Benton Celtic Fusion won
his qualifying Green Star to gain his title of Champion. Her second show as a puppy was at the Irish
Kennel Club Ch Show on St Patricks day 2004 where she won Best Puppy Bitch, Best Boxer Puppy and to
put icing on the cake, won the puppy working group. At the tender age of only 12 months, Rosie won
her first Green Star under renowned UK breed specialist Mr Philip Greenway. We were not always
able to attend shows in 2004 and 2005 due to our commitments to the boarding kennels, however, Rosie
had some great wins and gained her title of Champion at the Drogheda Championship show in September
2005. Rosie has also won a CACIB and 3 Reserve CACIBs and was the Irish Boxer Society of Irelands
Best Boxer Bitch for 2004.

The only puppy in Sophies last litter to Roamaro Beau Jolais, her mother spoiled her rotten!
Maggie is full of fun and devilment but generally still manages to behave herself most of the time
in the show ring. She has won Green Stars and several Reserve Green Stars, frequently reserve to her
kennelmate Rosie. Maggie recently produced a litter of 5 very typey puppies to IRCh and GB Ch
Sandcliffe Snog in the Fog at Jimbren. From this litter we have kept a dark brindle bitch called
Bonny (Benton Mondays Child). At only 6 months old, Bonny won best puppy at her first championship
show under UK breed specialist Margaret Wildman. Maggie herself is back in the show ring and looks
forward to strutting her stuff.

Another homebred Champion for Benton Boxers, Nelson is responsible for one of our best days in dog
showing winning BEST IN SHOW all breeds at the Combined Canine Club International Championship show
in October 2001. A wonderful day which we will never forget. Nelson is siring lovely puppies with
excellent head types and super temperaments. He is the sire of one of our current puppies, Barney,
and is heart tested clear for aortic stenosis with the best score possible of Zero. Nelson is
available at stud to approved bitches.

Nelsons Sister Carrie lost out a bit to her big brother who stormed ahead of her in the show ring.
She had a great puppy career winning many best puppy awards and has also won Green Stars and several
Reserve Green Stars. Carrie has a super temperament and is now retired spending her days pottering
around the kitchen and greeting visitors to the kennels. Carrie has a beautiful loving nature and
will mother any puppies that arrive at Benton Boxers.

From Sophie's first litter ( see Sophie's page for her pups at 4 weeks ), Tara is a super Boxer
with the most loving temperament. Tara was never crazy about the show ring, finding it all a bit
boring. She did occasionally turn on her charm and has won Green Stars and several Reserve Green
Stars. She has produced some beautiful puppies, most notably Rosie ( CH Benton Midnight Hour ).
She has a steady easygoing personality and is thoroughly enjoying her retirement. She still loves
nothing better than a good game of ball.
