Saboo is a 9th generation Bobtail .

 

 

 

We have introduced the Bobtail Boxers into our bloodlines due to the Tail docking ban in Australia.This allows us to continue to breed the Boxer in its original fashion by having short tails.

 

 We were placed on a waiting list with Boxberry Kennels and become the lucky owner of this lovely boy we Thank Janet & Darryl Halliday of Boxberry Kennels in NSW.

 

We welcomed Saboo into our home in 2010.

 

 

Here is a short summary on the history of the Boxer with a natural short tail, Not Docked.

 

In 1992 Dr Bruce Cattanach reinvented the Boxer with a naturally short tail, the 'Bobtail Boxer'. It began with the crossing of one of Dr. Cattanach’s Boxer bitches to a Pembroke Corgi with a dominantly inherited bobtail, Vaquera of Pemwell.

To answer the question on the possibility of Corgi characteristics reappearing in progeny, Dr Cattanach undertook a "double up" mating with a dog and bitch that were both only four generations removed from the Corgi. The four puppies were all short backed, had decent heads with obvious Boxer chins. None showed any trace of the short legs and longer coat type of the Corgi.

 

 The matings taking place in Australia now are 8 or more generations away from the Corgi and have less than 0.5% Corgi in their pedigree, the only gene being transferred is the Bobtail.

The length of a Bobtail can be in all variations, some even have a kink in the tail.

A Bobtail can be identified by the feel of the end part of the tail, If there is no graduation to smaller bones towards the tip of the tail & fleshy part at the end of the tail - it is not a Bobtail meaning there is a good chance that it has just been docked.

 

All of our bobtails here at Roxbud come with a Veterinary certificate to confirm that they are bobtails.
