Well, rather than try to list all the names here, here's a copy of my AKC pedigree certificate I just ordered:

One question on this, we noticed early on there's a white boxer and a fawn that were bred together. Is this a common trick to introduce a bit of flash into the coat? My fiancee noticed they had bred a white boxer and asked me about it as she knew that most people don't like to breed them, but my guess was it was about adding some flash.

I don't think it's a trick - no reputable breeder would breed their white boxer.

That's a shame, as that means our Holly has a white boxer in her linage, but it's 4 generations back so it's probably not a major issue.

There's nothing wrong with white boxers - they just shouldn't be bred due to the fact they carry the gene that causes deafness, which can be passed on to their offspring.
