Notă biografică

STEPHANIE ABRAHAM fell in love with Boxers in 1953 after receiving her first Boxer as a child. A year after she married her husband, David, in 1970, the couple established Trefoil Boxers and acquired their first show dog. Since that time they have bred or owned almost 30 AKC champion Boxers. In 1982 Stephanie was licensed by the American Kennel Club to judge Boxers and had judged all over North America and abroad––including the American Boxer Club National and the Canadian Boxer Club National. She has judged many Boxer specialties in the USA, England, Australia, Japan, Brazil, the Philippines, and Mexico. She is currently serving her third term as an American Boxer Club Board of Director member and has written The Boxer breed column in the AKC Gazette for almost 10 years.
