Ch. Ellis' Laissez Les Bon Temp Rouler SOM CGC ("Roller")

Ch. Caymans Texas Ranger SOM ex. Caymans Sweet Autumn Night


 

October 2005 - Roller almost 6 years.    What a distinguished looking Grandpa !

 

"Roller" (aka "Let The Good Times Roll") came to BlueCollar Boxers from Cajun country, Luling, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans.  Doug and Rhonda Ellis had saved this puppy as pick and we were lucky that they decided to place him in a loving show home.  Memorial Day weekend 2000, we found him on Sunday afternoon, decided we couldn't pass up that top line and tailset, and started our non-stop, 29-hour, round trip, express drive from San Antonio to New Orleans at about 8pm Sunday night. 

This was our first show dog, and we had more to learn than we could imagine!  Roller was very patient with Dan as they both rambled around the show ring.  Special thanks to Owen and Gina Proctor of Virgo Boxers for all their selfless guidance past and present.  With their help, Dan and Roller earned several points together, then when the time was right, Roller was expertly handled through his major wins by Terri Galle and Robert Chaffin. 

 

Roller exemplifies the breeding philosophy here at BlueCollar.  Temperament first, he possesses steadfast courage, unquestioned loyalty, wariness of strangers (then melting into a spine-bending wiggle the second the stranger is invited in as a friend!)  Currently training in agility and obedience, his willingness to please his handler is amazing! I wish our other boxers were this attentive!  Roller's conformation emphasizes bite and headpiece, strong, short back, high tailset, strength and form maintained during movement, and medium size. 

We believe in testing our breeding boxers for boxer cardiomyopathy, hip dysplasia, and thyroid abnormalities.

Roller's Health-Testing:  (2008) Cardiologist Auscultation/Echo - Average Aortic Valve Flow Rate NORMAL:  1.85 m/sec (Min 1.7 m/sec - Max 2.0 m/sec)  No SAS (Charla Jones, DVM, MS Diplomate ACVIM, Specialty-Cardiology) .  (2002) OFA Hips GOOD (Larry Wood, DVM).  His 24 hour Holter monitor revealed only 5 PVC's (no runs or pairs) (2002-Luiz Braz-Ruivo, DVM Diplomate ACVIM, Specialty-Cardiology) and only 64 PVC's (no runs or pairs) (2007-ALBA)-No Arrhythmias.  (2002) Thyroid tested Normal (Peter Hey, DVM).

Copies of Health Testing provided upon request.

Roller has frozen semen available to approved bitches.

Anything you can do, I can do better!

Now why was I trying to out-run Molly and that deer?

 Oh well, a nap does sound like a good idea Mom!

Beeville 2004, 7 of Roller's pups were at the show!  4 went on to finish their championships!

 

 

 

 

Roller achieved his Sire of Merit on April 8, 2007.  He will be honored at the May 2008 American Boxer Club National Dog Show with his award!

 

 

Oh there you are!               Give me my duck!

 

 

Roller on his 8th Birthday (2/18/08).  Happy Birthday, Old Boy!  We love you!

 

Roller lives here with us at BlueCollar and is owned by Daniel and Wendy Still.

He enjoys having his ears rubbed and playing with the kids.
