Yip was our first home-bred champion (second champion for our household), out of our Holly (a litter brother to our Duke).

We will ALWAYS regret the day we made the decision to sell him to a person looking for a Boxer for people in Japan shortly after completing his championship. Although not the fault of the person receiving him, the initial purchaser promised us contact by the secondary purchaser . . . which never transpired.

Some years later, a friend of our's happened across our Yip on the web . . . the find was bittersweet. My inquiry was answered by someone who turned out to be the webmaster, reporting to me that Yip was well-loved, but sadly had passed on just weeks before our finding him.  While in Japan, however, he was the #1 Working Dog for a few years, as well as having received his Championship in that country as well.  It is unknown to us whether or not he sired any championship offspring, but hopefully he offered some foundation for their breeding program.

Yip was the only male champion to his dad's credit (Ch. Hollycrest's Stage Hamd, SOM). Although a bit larger than some of his competitors, Yip was the epitome of movement and as friendly as they come, a big, friendly teddy bear who touched many hearts at ring side.

Rest well my big teddy bear!
