Welcome to the East Tennessee Boxer Club Website and thanks for visiting us! The East Tennessee Boxer Club is a small breed specific club situated in the Knoxville, TN area.

The focus of the East Tennessee Boxer Club is upon the betterment of the boxer breed. Emphasis is highly placed on correct conformational standards described by the American Kennel Club, appropriate temperament, and health tested animals, including testing for Sub-Aortic Stenosis and Boxer Cardiomyopathy, according to the American Boxer Club Code of Ethics.

We have a network of friends nationwide as well as closer contacts throughout East Tennessee who work together to gather and share information on the Boxer breed. At monthly meetings, we discuss conformation, obedience, agility, health and wellness, as well as plan functions around the area. We have a great time at the annual Mardi Growl in February and our Boxer Blast every fall, and you can also find us at most of the southeast regional dogs shows including conformation shows, obedience, and agility trials.

Thanks for stopping by to see us here at ETBC. Please email us if you have any questions or want to meet with us.  We also have monthly meetings and our next meeting will be 2pm, May 27th, at French Memorial Park, 7752 Martin Mill Pike, Knoxville.  We will have hotdogs and snacks and we are planning on having a puppy match as well!  So, bring your appetite, bring your puppies, and bring your cameras because this is always a good time!

Hope to see you all there!



We have a new ALBA Holter monitoring vest for our members to use.  The Holter monitor, named after its creator Dr. Norman Holter MD, records 24 hours of continuous heart rhythm (EKG or ECG) and heart rate (HR), while the dog goes about its normal daily activity in a home environment. The Holter is found to be a far superior test when compared to the 5-minute EKG, simply because of its 24-hour recording time.

 The guidelines for the Holter use are as follows:  you have to be a current ETBC member and on the list.  When it's your turn to use the Holter, you must attend that month's meeting.  There will be a $20 charge to use the Holter, plus a $20 deposit.  You must attend the next month's meeting to return the Holter at which time you receive a $20 refund, less the fee for each kit used ($5 each).  The SD card mist be returned erased or replaced, and report any damages.  Members must sign an agreement to these guidelines and assume responsibility for the condition of the vest, monitor, wires.  If it is your turn to use the Holter and you are not at that month's meeting, you will be placed at the bottom of the list, and the next available member that is on the list and in attendance will be able to use it. 

The 2013 club calendar is in the works. This year, the theme is “puppies”. We all love puppies. The age limit is 3 months old, and the pictures do not have to be recent litters or puppies. Doesn't matter what age they are now, as long as the pictures were taken at 3 months or younger. Digital photos are much better, and the clearer the better. No copyright, or professional photos please. We want silly, happy, sleepy, fat puppies. Each member has a limit of sending 5 photos, so pick the best & the cutest. Email them to Bryan bam107@yahoo.com.  All photos must be in by the end of June in order for us to have the 2013 calendar ready for our September shows.
