Welcome to Sherwood Boxers

Owned, loved and trained by Colleen Fleury

PAST

I have a small home-based kennel located just north of New Orleans in Slidell, LA. I started in 1989 with my first Boxer in Obedience. Many people at the time told me that Boxers were too stubborn to be trained and couldn’t do well in Obedience competition. I found a trainer, Larry Schillenkamp, who believed in us. Under his tutelage we became not only top competitors, but ambassadors for the Boxer breed. We showed people that not only were Boxers highly intelligent dogs but could do incredibly well in Obedience.

I show in Agility, Rally and Conformation also and have Boxers titled in all areas. I breed rarely but with the goals of correct conformation, working ability and health always in mind. All breeding dogs are tested for Boxer Cardiomyopathy by 24 hour holter monitoring, cleared of SAS by auscultation or echocardiogram, and OFA certified free of hip dysplasia.

With my Irish heritage, I tend to name my dogs Celtic names. Please visit their pages below. The graphics and music reflect each dog’s unique personality.

Dara delivered 4 beautiful boys on June 16th! See our Puppy Page for more details.
