About Me
I am Debra Henkle of Vendetta Boxers - Established in 2005.
I am Boxer Breeder/Exhibitor & Multi Breed Semi Professional Handler
I have loved Boxers since I met my friend DeeDee Woods when I was in Junior High. DeeDee's Mom had Boxers. The Boxers they had when I met DeeDee were Shawna and her son Sampson. They were both beautiful flashy fawn Boxers. If memory serves me correctly DeeDee was a Junior handler in 4H. I had only ever seen dog shows on TV and never dreamed I would show or breed Boxers but I have wanted a Boxer since way back then and I hoped that I would someday have a Boxer.
My son and his Girlfriend in 2005 got me a pet Boxer for my Birthday and that is when this amazing adventure started. I was bit by the show bug and am hooked.
I am a member of the following clubs:
West Coast Boxer Club - Member/Founder/President 2013/14 & 2015/16
Sacramento Valley Boxer Club - Member/Vice President 2012/2013/2014

The Vallejo Dog Training Club - The Conformation Trainer
Great Lakes Boxer Club - Member
East Bay Boxer Club - Member
My love for this breed is what drives me. We are Vendetta Boxers for many reasons. I have listed a few below:
1)We are against BYB (back yard breeders) that don't health test.
2)We are against treating animals badly.
3)We are against people in the breed treating others badly.
4)We are against judges, handlers and breeders that cheat the system. Dogs should win on their own merit.
To learn more about us and our boxers please stay awhile get to know us here at our home on the web. There is a lot to see here so you might want to grab a drink and a snack. I think you'll be glad you did. We have lots going on an update frequently.

I have a passion for Boxers
At Vendetta Boxers, we have been showing Boxers since 2005 and breeding since 2009. We started out using the name Vendetta as our Kennel Name when we started our Kennel. We found out later that many years prior there was another Kennel using the name Vendetta Boxers, but they had long since stopped showing and breeding. Their Boxers were Magnificent dogs. I didn't know they ever existed.
The American Kennel Club offers breeders the Registered Kennel Name Program to protect the use of their kennel’s name in the naming of AKC registered dogs. The use of a registered kennel name allows breeders to name dogs of their breeding in an identifiable manner creating a prominent familial foundation in the breed.
I have applied for and been denied the use of Vendetta several times in the past and have been told I was denied because others are using Vendetta more than sparingly so the name wasn't available.
Drum Roll Please......
This last time I applied I was granted the use of my Kennel Name so Vendetta is VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE that as of 7/15/18 we officially became a Registered Kennel name with the AKC.
It was a long hard road to get here. I couldn't have done it without the help of others who let us use their gorgeous dogs with our beautiful girls. I would like to say a huge thank you to:
Jennifer & Gerald Osuna for letting us use "Scottie" UCI INT/NAT CH Caymans Tribute To Mack Scott CGC with our 1st litter out of "Crystal" UKC GRCH/UCI INT/NAT CH Ragtyme's Crystal Clear Vendetta CGC HAT
Kristi Kenny/Black Dymond Boxers for letting us use AKC CH Ein Vons Kiss The Girls for our 2nd litter out of "Crystal" UKC GRCH/UCI INT/NAT CH Ragtyme's Crystal Clear Vendetta CGC HAT
Sydney Brown/Cayman Boxer's for letting us use "LeRoy" Caymans Leroy Brown for our 3rd litter out of "Galaxy" UKC GRCH/UCI HNR'S CH Vendetta-Altitude's Beam Me Up Scottie CGC HAT - This is the breeding that gave us Birdie & Charm. Biride is the bitch that took us places we the help of the sire we used next. Thank you so much Sydney Brown & LeRoy!!!!
Michelle Rocca & Donna Galante/GalaRoc Boxers for letting us use "Hudson" AKC GRCHS Maxl's Stay Gold for our 4th & 5th litters (both) out of "Birdie" UKC CA GRCH / UCI HNR’S CH, Vendetta's Charmed I'm Sure aka Birdie, CA, SPOT RATI, RATN AKC/UKC DOM
Without you all and these 4 dogs we would not be where we are today so thank you so very much!
