Bill Bates fell in love with Boxers through a friend and had to have one of his own.  Searching for his first Boxer led him to dog shows, and the rest just fell into place.  Bill began showing Boxers in 2003.  He has been extremely active in club activities and as show chair for both all-breed and specialty clubs.  Bill remains active with his national breed club, local specialty club, all-breed club, and a couple local training clubs.  In addition to Boxers, Bill is focused on Juniors and their importance to the future of the fancy.
