From Our Past Ch. Encore's Coup De Grace, DOM "Grace"
Grace has left us after a valiant fight with cancer, living her life to the fullest to the very end. A much loved pet to the Keplers, Grace will be sorely missed. The last time I saw her she was romping with her son Atticus as we prepared to go the the 2004 ABC National. Such a special girl with that true Boxer temperament, gone but never forgotten. Grace finished in high style after whelping her only litter. Although never campaigned, she was a Breed Winner from the classes. Her contribution to Encore has been her litter which resulted in her becoming a Dam of Merit. A litter of 5 all have finished. They include Ch. Encore's Allure, DOM, Ch. Encore's Atticus A-Braxx-Us, SOM, Ch. Encore's Ariel, Ch. Encore's Affair To Remember, and Ch. Encore's Avatar. Grace is owned and loved by the Keplers of La Habra Heights, California and is pictured in the photos above at 2 and 10 years of age. Jim & Gloria Kepler Breeder Cheryl A. Cates ~ Encore
