Sabre has caused quite an "Uproar" in the show ring since his
debut at six months of age. During Sabre's Canadian career he
has been exclusively handled by his co-owner, Karen Oxtoby.
Anyone who has watched these two both in and out of the
ring has been witness to the strong bond and partnership which
existed between these two. Anyone who has had a great show dog
knows that they have to be born with structure, balance, movement
and beauty, but they also must have showmanship, attitude and the desire to show.
We produced him, but Karen made Sabre the showdog he is
today. Sabre has great show attitude but is also an exceptional
companion.
Both Karen and Sabre are very social and you will see Sabre working the crowd outside the ring. He demands everyones attention and if you ignore him, he barks at you until you do pay attention. He expects everyone has bait in their pocket just for him. In the fall of 2000, Sabre proved that there is such a thing as beauty and brains, by earning his Companion Dog Degree in Obedience. In 2002 Sabre earned his Companion Dog Excellence Degreed (CDX) in obedience. Yet again proving you can have both beauty and brains. In March 2001, Sabre became and American Sire of Merit. In October 2003, Sabre became a Canadian Legion of Merit. During 2004, Sabre competed as a veteran in 5 specialties. He won the Alberta Boxer Club Specialty under judge Cheryl Robbins. Sabre was awarded 3 award of merits, the Boxer Club of Canada National Specialty, Western Canada Boxer Club Specialties (both their April and August shows). At the Oregon Boxer Club Specialty Sabre was awarded Best Opposite Sex. Sadly on December 20, 2004 Sabre lost a very brief battle with Lymphosarcoma. Less than a week from when the first symptoms appeared, Sabre passed away. The week prior to this he appeared lively and healthy. We repeated the breeding to Ch. Berlane's Aimin High, CDOM (Aimie) which previously had produced 3 American and 5 Canadian Champions in one litter, not knowing how quickly things were going to change. We are blessed that Aimie presented us with 6 healthy puppies on January 31, 2005. The legacy will carry on in his children and grandchildren. Rest in Peace sweet boy, we love you, we miss you and we thank you for the ride. We attended the American Boxer Club National Specialty in Kentucky May 2005. Very talented artist Jessica Kozel painted Sabre and donated the painting for auction at the American Boxer Charitable Foundation auction. The painting earned $1900.00 and went to the only place where it truly belonged. The home of Karen Deschambault (Oxtoby), who loved and handled Sabre and coowned him with us. We had Sabre's litter sister, Star at the ABC and she received her DOM Plaque at the ABC Annual Dinner. While at the ABC, my good friends Sandra Schell and Annette Clark said don't ask any questions but we want to borrow Star. I knew they were up to something but had no idea what. Well, in my wildest imagination, I would not have dreamed what Annette and Sandra had planned. They had a photo done of Star and the painting of her brother Sabre. Words can not express what this photo means to me. There are always things in life that you cherish over others. This photo I will cherish forever. I also cherish the friendships I have made through our involvement with Boxers. If you would like to view the picture, click here. . September 2008 Sabre became an American Legion of Merit. |
