 BOXERS BOXERS AND MORE BOXERS!!!!  
       Texas Vel-Hi is the way to go!!!!

Howdy and Welcome to our website. 
     This is dedicated to Velma Hiser of the original Vel-Hi Kennel of Grinnel, Iowa and All the other old tyme great boxer kennels.
   Texas Velhi consist of 2 Kennels: 
The Original Vel-Hi Kennel was in Grinnel, Iowa. Founded / owned / operated by Velma Hiser in or around 1947.  She was handler / then in later years a judge.  She bred her boxers to some outstanding greats from other kennels and in turn had her own. She had this kennel of awesome boxers for over 60 years. She was an awesome lady.   
      In 1985 she sent her gt. neice one of her boxers, named Vel-Hi's Chocolate Chip. He started the 1st Vel-Hi kennel in Texas. In 1987 I met and became fast friends with Lynda and fell in love with Chip and in 1991 got my first boxer from him, became a partner with Lynda and started Texas Vel-Hi Boxer Kennel.So here we are:
    Lynda Miller's Vel-Hi's Texas Connection Kennel, is located nw of Ft. Worth, in Azle, Texas. Her email address is lmyrth@aol.com or  (817) 715-2505
    Mine, Kathi Schu has the second and ONLY other Vel-Hi kennel, called Texas Vel-Hi Kennel. I am located west of San Antonio. I can be contacted at txbxrk@yahoo.com or (830)329-7022 or 830-866-3894.
    Our boxers are direct decendants of Velma's Vel-Hi Kennel, and  there are  of numerous champions in this linage.
     These boxers are muscular,strong built, self-assured, exhuberant, curious,loving, extremely intelligent. A jokster, with a zest for life, people oriented, have a special bonding with children,and have a don't worry-be-happy attitude.
    They ALL want to be with you, no matter where-who-what-when-or how you do it, as long as they are there. 
     They BORE very easily, so PLEASE pay attention to them; be patient; loving; caring; spend time with them; talk to them; hug them; have fun ;give them things to do; and when you are not there, leave them toys, a wading pool, balls,music.
 NEVER ignore them - or push them out of your life. it breaks their heart.
 In the end, it is well worth the effort if you stick with them thru their puppyhood clownish ways.  BOXERS RULE OTHERS DROOL !!!!
   

If your boxer chases flies. Or gives those heavy sighs.Soulful eyes to view you sadly.Before kidney beaning madlyMaybe jumps high in the air
Sleep and snore without a care
With a faith that is unerringDespite what is occuring

If he tries to swim but sinks. If he's silly but, still thinks

If he loves you like a child. And is sometimes just as wild

There's a story to be told. Of boxers young, of boxers old
And it's here they get unfurled

Do You Know... What a Puppy is Not?

by Velma Hiser

A puppy is not a toy. A puppy is a living being who has a need for love and proper care for the rest of his life-- not just sufficient rest. He or she needs to be fed often when young. And a young puppy is especially vulnerable to broken bones and other injuries from careless treatment.

A puppy is not a teaching aid. A puppy should not be obtained to instill a sense of responsibility in children. It is unfair to place an animal's entire well-being in he hands of children. Feeding, grooming, housekeeping and discipline training of an animalshould be the principal responsibilities of adults. Responsibility training of children is better left for household tasks, where a helpless animal's needs are not at stake.

A puppy is not cheap. The purchase price or adoption fee for a pet is a mere pittance compared to the cost of veterinary care for routine and emergency treatment over the dog's lifetime, as well as licensing fees and damages to personal property which are bound to occur.

A puppy is not a spur-of-the-moment commitment. Animal shelters are overrun with dogs who were acquired for the wrong reasons or without sufficient investigation and personal commitment.

A puppy is not self-cleaning. Dogs can neither groom themselves nor clean up after themselves (accidents, shedding), and therefore can impose an additional workload in a household.

A puppy is not an adult dog. Having neither the physical nor mental abilities of an adult dog, a puppy cannot wait long periods of time before relieving himself, nor differentiate between what is a toy and what is not; nor can he or she distinguish between digestible and dangerous objects. Puppies require patience, understanding, and supervision, just as with human infants and young children. A puppy doesn't mature int an adult for at least two years. If you work and don't have the time for training and play, get an older dog.

A puppy is not forever. But they need your love and care forever. Be sure you understand the lifelong commitment involved in succumbing to the charms of a cute, cuddly little puppy.
