About Lennon . . .
Lennon is a happy go lucky fellow who will do anything for Natasja. Like most boxer boys, he's big and sweet and goofy and ready for whatever Natasja wants him to do whether it is going to classes to learn to be a show dog or going to work with her for the day. We hear it from a reliable source that these two are inseparable! Lennon is a litter mate to Declan, Rooney, Abby, and Rocky who have all been showing in Canada. Lennon is the 7th champion for his dam.
