About Us

Welcome

Our names are Nathan and Phyllis Justice. We live on 5 Acres in a rural part of Alaska called "Butte". We are about 45 minutes north of Anchorage. Nathan was raised with boxers. On my first trip to his house in 1964 to meet his family, I was greeted by "Tobe". How beautiful he was, it was love at first sight! We married in 1967 and in 1970 we added our first child and our first boxer to our family, "Dominique". We have loved and lost many boxers since then, always having one at a time and all being males. We never thought about breeding (we would have kept all the puppies) and knew nothing of showing. They were members of our family!

Nathan is retired from the Air Force and now works for the Municipality of Anchorage. We have been avid fisherman in the summer and snowmachiners in the winter. With Alaska's growing population, our endeavors became less enjoyable. We decided we would do simple things as we head towards retirement: Hang out and have boxers. We have enough good memories of our adventures to last the rest of our lives.

We found out in November of 2002, that our "Roundy" had cancer. We knew we had to find another boxer to help ease our pain and be a companion to our 14 year old Cocker Spaniel, "Bear". We had thought about breeding him but never could find a female. We contacted a breeder in Anchorage that we found on the Web, but she had none available. A few months went by and she contacted us about a litter she knew of that might sell us a puppy. We became the proud parents of "Toby" (Texas). I was constantly looking on the web, filling out the puppy applications, being turned down because we weren't a show home. Our thoughts were definitely turning towards breeding. If we could ever get a male and female, we would breed and keep the whole litter by sharing the puppies with our family. I continued searching on the web and one day I found a cute female. I contacted the breeder and after a lot of e-mails and phone calls, we added "Molly" (Oregon) to our family. Molly had stipulations; we had to show her and there was someone in Anchorage that would help us. A new adventure. In the e-mails and phone calls from this breeder, and the information from our "special someone", Terri Dunning, we learned so much regarding breeding and showing. We decided we would just love and show our boxers. Someday when we have champions and are well educated in breeding, we may breed.

We thought our family was complete for now. One day a friend sent me an e-mail of the sweetest little puppy I had ever seen. As soon as I saw him I knew I wanted him. Once again, e-mails and phone calls. I had no idea we would get this puppy. Then the owner said we were the kind of home she was looking for. In a short while we added "Tyler" (New Jersey) to our family. Oh, what a joy!

Our boxers are members of our family, they live in our home and at times share our bed. Our daughter spends time at our house every day while we are at work. She feeds, plays with, and takes them outside. On her days off they go to her house. They take turns spending the night with "Sissy" (Bridget Butler). We are forever grateful to her. Without her help over the past years, we could not have done it. Someday she will be rewarded with a puppy of her own. It also makes for a well-rounded family life for boxers: They love kids and we have 2 granddaughters! One granddaughter wants to start showing in the Juniors!

A very special--THANK YOU-- to all the people who have made our boxer family possible. We will make you proud!!!
