"Kelly"

STOP PRESS Kelly and Fletcher, Champion Kesdar Riding High, are proud to announce the safe arrival of their litter. Six beautiful babies. Two nicely marked boys, two nicely marked girls and a lovely dark plain boy and girl.

Kelly wins Best of Breed 2008 Royal Melbourne Show ... Kelly wins Best In Show - Boxer Association of Victoria Championship Show 9 August 2008 under renowned breed specialist Mrs Ferelith Somerfield (Panfield Boxers - UK)! Clare Tyler expertly handled Kelly to these impressive wins.

Kelly gained her title in style with a Runner-Up In Show at Portland Championship Show in early October (2005). She has been awarded many Class In Group and Class In Show prizes from Baby puppy through to Open. Still a youngster we believe her best is yet to come. Always a dream to show Kelly topped off 2006 going Reserve Challenge Bitch at the Boxer Association of Victoria (BAOV) Championship Show and Reserve Challenge Bitch at the 2006 Melbourne Royal Show. Starting 2007 with a flourish Kelly won another Runner-Up In Show before winning a strong Open Bitch Class at the 2007 BAOV Championship Show and then gaining her Grand Championship at Victorian Womens Dogs Club, followed the next day with a huge Best of Breed at Sunbury Canine Show.

"Fletcher"

Fletcher has won many fans with his beautiful movement and outgoing personality. He has multiple Class in Group wins from Baby Puppy to Open. He was Reserve Challenge dog at the Boxer Association of Vic Champ Show 2006. Just starting to mature both physically and mentally, Fletcher topped off 2007 going Best of Breed and Group Third at the 2007 Royal Adelaide Show followed by the Dog Challenge in a strong line-up and Runner Up Best of Breed, to his kennel mate Kelly, at Sunbury Canine Club. To date, Fletcher has sired several beautiful litters, with progeny in the show rings of Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. His exciting young sons, Champion Kesdar Royal Ascot - Jackson and Champion Kesdar Regents Park - Fletcher Junior (Fletcher Junior is owned and handled in South Australia by Joylene Cole), are following in his footsteps with many wonderful Group and Class wins. The 2007 BAOV Championship Show Baby puppy class winners were both sired by Fletcher from two different kennels. One of these fine young dogs, Tonmar Thats A Rap, is only a handful of points away from his title after taking out the Dog CC at the 2008 Melbourne Royal Show from Junior class over his dad, Fletcher (1st Open Dog) and his half brother Jackson (1st Intermediate dog and Reserve CC). Fletcher is sparingly shown now - only coming out to strutt his stuff at a handfull of major shows.

Add to that a Best in Group and Runner Up in Group both from Junior class. At the tender age of 7 months she won her first challenge under a Boxer Specialist and gained her title at 18 months of age.

Look out world here I come! Rebel has displayed an absolute joy for life from as soon as she had sight and sound. Rebel achieved the title of Australian Champion just as she turned 14 months and then, to stamp her name on it, in her next two shows she won 25 point BOB's and back-to-back Runner Up In Group Awards from Junior class under two International Boxer specialists. Rebel adds a Best In Group from Junior to her impressive tally of wins. To date she has won 25 Group and 8 In Show awards, including Best Puppy in Show at the Boxer Association of Vic 2008 Championship Show under renowned breed specialist Mrs Ferelith Somerfiled (UK) and Best Puppy in Show at the Utility Dog Club of Victoria 2008 Championship Show. She has taken to showing like she has with each new adventure in her short life to date– with gusto, bravery and a touch of arrogance! Rebel by name and Rebel by nature! She has inherited the lovely strength of her mum (Ch Kesdar Riding High's sister) and the stunning elegance of her young father Nike (Champion Tonmar Just Do It). Nike is a son of the fabulous Grand Champion Tonmar Rapt In Red, a multi Best In Show winner who has stamped her name on the breed with an enviable record of wins, and a grandson of Ch Winuwuk Plane Sailing.

Rebel has taken 2009 by storm. At just 17 months she has gained over 300 Challenge Points and with maturing still to do we believe her best is yet to come!

"Keeper"

Keeper hides a mischevious streak behind a sweet personality. She leads her sister, Biscuit on many a merry chase around the grounds, causing mayhem and, of course, laughter from all who witness the game.

Keeper took out 2 Baby in Groups on her first weekend out and has followed these wins up with multi Minjor Puppy in Group and Reserve Challenge wins. She has lovely movement and beautiful expression combined with a super personality.

"Pepper"

STOP PRESS Pepper takes her first Challenge points from Minor Puppy!

Pepper is an absolute ratbag. Loud, demanding, mischievious, fun, naughty and the most loveable little demon we have ever bred or owned! She rules the roost at Kesdar wrapping all the older dogs up in circles and making life as roudy and uncontrolled as possible.
Lead training - what's that! If we can ever get her under control she may win a few hearts in the show ring. Time will tell ... or not. Watch this space for her progress.
Well we guess the lead training has started to pay off. Pepper has just gone up into Minor Puppy and celebrated with her first Challenge over Champion stock from 3 different kennels. She is still the naughtiess Boxer we have ever bred or owned, impossible to keep under control but knows just when to turn it all on! With Challenge points, Class in Show and Class in Group awards starting to add up she might be naughty but she is pretty special too.

Australian Champion
Kesdar Canterbury Tales DOM
"Angie"

A striking fawn and white bitch, Angie turned many heads with her showiness, attitude and ring presence. A multiple Baby, Minor and Puppy in Show winner, she achieved her first Best of Breed win, over Champion competition, at the tender age of 7 months. She won Puppy in Show at the Boxer Association of Victoria Championship Show in April 2002 under Boxer Specialist Mrs Sandra Carter (UK) and gained her title whilst still a Junior. Ever the extravert when on show, she is by contrast, a gentle relaxed soul at home. Angie is the proud mum of Kelly (Grand Champion Kesdar High Society), Jackson (Champion Kesdar Royal Ascot), Fletcher Junior (Champion Kesdar Regents Park) and Maxi and is happily in retirement, content to have a run on the beach in the morning and a snooze in the afternoon.

Australian Champion
Kesdar Kinda Hush
"Maggie May"

Maggie had a wonderful 2005 with many wins under local, national and international judges. She gained her title in March 2005, produced a litter of beautiful puppies and was back in the show ring winning again in 12 weeks. One of her outstanding wins in 2005 was the Bitch Challenge at Sunbury under Mr Brian Meyer (USA). Maggie is retired and enjoys nothing more than a wild romp around the paddocks and chasing Magpies!

Maggie has a new daughter, Kesdar Kausin Applause (Lizzie), sired by our young fawn boy Jackson. She has the cheeky character of her mum.

Lambda Notta Joker
"Riley"

"Riley" started is show career slowly, but by the age of 2 figured prominently in the winner's circle. Back-to-back Best In Show wins at the Boxer Association of Victoria Open Show was quickly followed by his Australian Champion title and one month later his first Royal Challenge at the Melbourne Royal Show in September 1999. His show career peaked the following year, 2000, with another Royal Melbourne Show Challenge, Best of Breed and 3rd in Group. Riley is one of only a few boxers who can boast back-to-back Melbourne Royal Challenges.

Sadly we lost our beautiful boy in October 2007. We all miss his gentle leadership. Riley sired several Australian Champions and equally as important has stamped his beautiful temperament on his progeny. His spirit and character live on at Kesdar.

Australian Champion
Yambuk Royal Gold
"Jacqui"

Jacqui is a very sound, square, golden brindle and white bitch. Only sparingly shown she gained her title before maternal duties became a priority. Jacqui is comfortably retired and Riley's constant companion. She also makes sure the youngsters learn their manners at an early age. She has 2 Champion daughters, Angie and Maggie-May, a Grand Champion granddaughter, Kelly, and 2 Champion grandsons, Jackson and Fletcher Junior.

Jacqui sadly passed away on Sunday 3 August 2008. She is now once more beside her best mate Riley. Her character and style will live on in Kesdar boxers.

Australian Champion
Berolin Burgundy Mist
"Becky"

The progeny of 2 major kennels in the 1970's, Becky gained her title at 14 months taking the Bitch Challenge at the 1976 Royal Sydney Easter Show. What a win for 2 novices (Helen and Becky)!

Becky's blood lines are behind the current Kesdar Boxers.

Australian Champion
Tonup Angels Flight
"Kes"

Kes always figured in the placing's under international Boxer specialists. From taking Minor Puppy in Show under Pat Heath (UK) (Boxer Association of Victoria Champ Show) and again under Robert Forsyth (USA) (South Australian Boxer Club) in 1983 to Junior in Show under Sheila Cartwright (UK) in Sydney. When Sheila Cartwright returned 3 years later to judge the same show it was Kes' daughter Skatchard Summa Sky - Nicky (Ch. Tonup Angels Flight, Aust & UK Ch. Summer Shadow of Gremlin) who took out the Junior Bitch class - following in her mothers footsteps.

Unfortunately Nicky's show career was halted whilst still a Junior and sitting on 87 points due to Jen's work commitments.
