On the 24th of January, 2001, early in the morning, Noëlle called me: "Eric, you should go and see at Jardins de Passiflore: a wonderful fawn male was just born!". Noëlle knew that I was looking for a very special puppy as I was regularly bothering her since 4 months.
I did not know a lot, even if, in my family, we had pet boxers since 1974, but my requirements were very precise and, as the mating Perico x Lhétie had been announced on Les Jardins de Passiflore’s website, I had the intuition that I was going to find the puppy I was looking for.
When I saw Sherpa, 2 days later, I immediatly understood that he was "The One". Once again, I did not know a lot, but he had this enormous muzzle, this already fantastic color and pigmentation and Sylvie, Noëlle and François were so thrilled …
Sylvie agreed to sell Sherpa to me but under the condition that I would show him. I absolutely wanted him, so … I promised and that’s how since the 1st of May 2001, at the "Régionale d’Elevage de Bénouville", Sherpa is shown, successfully, all over Europe.
Sherpa’s nice «plastique» would be nothing without his very well balanced temperament and his outstanding working abilities. He is a bit stubborn and quite independant but he is also very clever and affectionate. I realize how I am lucky that Sherpa is my first own boxer and I am very grateful to Sylvie Chenard for her trust.
