After I realized a photo I took of 11 week old Wilky's Cloud Invicta (Vic) looked like a photo of his Sire, CH. Kimkar's Hi-Tech Traveler SOM, I decided to photoshop them together.  Little Vic lives with us now, and like most puppies, he's a handful.

R.I.P. JAKE

We are so very sad to have lost Jake.
He was such a faithful companion for so many years.
We will hold on to our memories and let them guide us through this 
transitional time in our lives.
The sadness will give way to special moments of happy and humorous times that will live in our hearts and never really go away.
Nor will Jake.

Jake competing at the ABC

On May 10th, 2012 Jake was awarded 2nd place in the Stud Dog Class at the American Boxer Club Nationals.  What made it even more exciting was the fact that Jake was the oldest male competitor in the entire show at close to 11 1/2 years..  Competing along with Jake were his two sons, Hi-Tech's Southern Blues Boy (Memphis) and Hi-Tech's Southern Charmer (Rhett).  We would like to send our thanks to Kim Pastella and her assistants.

Congratulations to Bella!

Congratulations to New Champion,  Ch. Liberti's Knells Bells (Bella) and to her owners Matt Holmbeck and Teresa Berge. Bella became Champion on June 8th at the Minnesota Boxer Club Specialty.  Bella is Jake's ninth sired Champion and we our very proud of her.

Carol Korpal: Fifty-Five Years with Boxers

Carol's love of the Boxer breed began in the 1940's. She wanted a boxer so bad that she saved her money from babysitting and bought her own dog. Carol didn't just want a boxer, she wanted to breed boxers. At the time Carol lived near 19^th street and Kedzie Av. in Chicago, Illinois. She can still remember taking that first dog on the streetcar to have it's ears done. She bred her first litter in 1950. She was only sixteen years old. She has been involved in boxer breeding ever since.

So what makes Carol Korpal special? There are many people breeding boxers but Carol's experience is hard to match. She has been actively involved in Boxers for fifty-five years and is a former President of the Midwest Boxer Club. Carol has been very successful in competition. She has finished nine champions. Her first in 1962. With Carol, it was never about the Champions, it was about breeding beautiful sound dogs and getting them into the hands of people who would appreciate them. Carol could have had many more champions but she had more important priorities. She was raising seven children. Carol has a extensive library. She has read pretty much every book ever written on boxers.

Carol is refreshingly candid. Anyone seeking advice on boxers, breeding or boxer conformation should seek her out. A link to Carol's website is listed on this blog.

As proud co-owners of Ch. Kimkar's Hi Tech Traveler (Jake), the Cloud's would like to express our thanks to Carol Korpal for the privilege and joy of living with such a magnificent animal.
