We sadly announce the passing of our girl, Trudy, the foundation of Beacon Boxers,
and dam of 3 AKC champions, more pointed.  She was only 8 years old when she had
to leave us. Thank you, Trudy, for the beautiful puppies you produced and for the
loyal companionship that you gave us each and every day of your life, even up to the
very end. We will always love and remember you. Your legacy will continue through
your beautiful Champion kids...

Trudy is the foundation of Beacon Boxers.
She has produced 3 AKC champions, with three more
pointed towards their AKC championship.

She is now spayed and retired from the whelping box, but
takes her guard duty very seriously! She is a very sweet girl,
and is devoted to her family, but watch out if you come around
her property and are up to no good. Trudy is on patrol! :o)
