Kimberly Pastella
Calvacca, born into the Sport of showing Boxers, I am a
third generation dog show fancier. I have my Bachelors
Degree from C.W.POST College on Long Island in Business
and Hospital Administration.
I chose to show dogs as my career. I enjoy working with
dogs and the wonderful friendships they bring. Many of
those friends are like family. My highlights in showing
boxers have been: six American Boxer Club National
winners, eight Best Of Breeds at the prestigious
Westminster KC, two of which went Group 1 and several
group placements with the others, and numerous
Champions. I have shown nine different boxers to Best In
Show titles, including six straight generations of Best
In Show winners coming down from the Hi-Tech line, as
well as five Top Ten boxers.
Other handling accomplishments include piloting a
Harrier to the Number One Hound in the Country. I have
bred five generations of BIS Miniature Pinschers, 4
generations of which were Number One. I have had seven
Best of Breed winners at the prestigious Westminster KC.
In 2010, I bred, showed and handled my Ch.
Kimro's Soldier
Boy to the AKC Best Bred By In Show.
I enjoy the arts, the theatre ,travelling,
gardening, music of all types, museums, cooking
and some good, fun days at home with my family, friends
and dogs.
I look forward to this assignment and will choose what I
believe comes closest to the standard on that day. I
love all my boxer friends, but during Sweeps, I am
evaluating their breeding stock. I wish all the
exhibitors the best of luck. |
