The Connecticut Boxer Club was founded on February 3, 2004 to provide a social and educational forum for owners, breeders, exhibitors and guests who are interested in learning more about their pets and the breed. Our meetings feature lectures, exhibitions, and hands-on experience, lots of good advice and sharing, and social time for members and their pets. We welcome new members and guests and hope that we can become a resource for those who may have questions about the breed.
NEWS FLASH: The Connecticut Boxer Club is now an authorized AKC Club. New Club Events are being planned and will be posted on the website!
