Stillwater Kennel is a small family owned kennel in upstate New York.

My name is Joshua Gould.  My wife, Jennifer and I along with our four children live in Greene, NY. We live on over 3 acres with lots of room to run and play.  We have owned Boxers since we got married in 1999.  We immediately feel in love with the breed and all their many funny quirks.  Sadly our first two had many health problems including skin cancer.  Our first, Zeus had to be put down at the age 5. We were devastated and so I started to do some research. From that point on we only get dogs that are from quality lines and health tested. We now primarily have European lined Boxers.  The ones we have owned have had less health issues. They are also more muscular,  have larger heads and chests and are not quite as hyper as the American lines that we have seen and owned.  It has taken us quite a few years due to kids and timing to finally start breeding some great lines. Even though we have just started to breed Boxers, we have breed German Shepherds dogs before.  I used to be a K-9 officer at the local Sheriff's Department where I work.  Our goal is to see Boxers here in the States to go back to the original intention of the breed. Boxer in Europe are being used in Schutzhund all the time but it is so uncommon here in the States.  I am striving to not only breed beautiful fun loving boxers that we're all used to but ones that also have the proper health, temperament and drive.
