Our names are Sam and
Mark, and we live in Southampton Hampshire. We first met on 10th
November 1997 when working together in Sainsbury's’ ‘Hedge end’. Sam
was working on the checkouts and I was a grocery manager.
We decided to set up
home together and bought our house in Southampton in 1999.
We have both always had animals in the home, either cats, dogs or
horses and decided we wanted to continue this, so talked about
getting our first pet.
Eventually after much arm twisting Sam agreed to my favourite choice
of dog! A ‘BOXER’
On June the 16th we tried everywhere to get a copy of ‘dog world’ to
get an address or phone number to no avail. So we rang the
‘puppy’line and we were given the number for ‘stellvana boxers’ Jill
and Arnie downing.
We travelled up to derby on the 17th of June to view a potential pup
a ‘brindle’ boy but when we arrived Jill and arnie had a pen in
their kitchen diner with the litter in and as we walked in this
stunning red and white boy instantly took my eye. I knew SAM would
not be able to resist him ,he was simply gorgeous .
She fell in love with him as soon as her eyes fell upon his stunning
body
STELLAVANA LETS GET IT ON
We brought him home that day .
Soon after we felt the time was right to get our boy ‘Tyson’ a
friend to keep him company so we looked for a little girl and as we
had a ‘red boy’ Sam agreed to let me choose a brindle girl. We
travelled to Romford and found our little girl. We called her
‘brunette’ not for her colour but as an adaptation of the name
‘Bruno’
As Sam likes heavy weight boxers.
Brunette
They got on like a house on fire and we loved them both dearly .
After a few months we decided to look for a red and white girl as
well and after much consternation and searching for seemed like
forever and the constant barrage of questions from breeders," have
you had a boxer before?" we eventually found ‘pat heath’ and she put
us in touch with a couple who had bred a litter with her bloodlines.

BEST FRIENDS
We later decided to have a go at showing and applied for our affix
‘Macwatt’ made up from our surnames Watkins and McGowan. Macwatt
Boxers was granted to us on 3rd December 2001.
Since then we started a breeding programme and ‘Pat Heath’ has been
able to guide us along the way.
This is how we got started.
