The involvement with Boxers continued after a short break due to overseas service, Lionel teamed up with Arthur, registering the Lambda prefix in 1979 and embarking on showing and breeding. The kennel has enjoyed significant success with breeding and showing, and has tried to resist the 'fashions' that cross the show ring from time to time, preferring to stay with the balanced Boxer capable of performing the function it originally fulfilled.

Although we have had an interest in and liking for the Dogue De Bordeaux breed for quite some time, our direct involvement didn’t start until August 2003 when we whelped a litter for Ken and Kelli Weber of Oakview Kennels. We were very grateful to Ken and Kelli for allowing us to have two of the litter which we named Brutus and Blondie and had the pleasure of showing them through to their titles – Champions Oakview Dutchcourage and Oakview Going Dutch. Both are now retired having developed an acute lack of interest in the show ring, and we now concentrate our show interest in Ramon (Lambda Ramon Magnifique), a young son of Blondie with great promise.

Arthur and Lionel continue to breed and exhibit and have expanded their interest to include judging on the national and international stage.
