Frank Bigler

Mr. Bigler was certainly the most prolific writer the Boxer breed has had in this country, and one of its most provocative spokesman. His own first dog was Sigurd's Honig of Bluemound, acquired as a young puppy in 1935, from Dr. Kearns, an early Milwaukee breeder. As her name indicates, she was a Sigurd daughter. His first champion was the Swiss-bred Haris vd Uetliburg, sire of several Bravenhartz litters. But Frank's longtime favorite was undoubtedly his Ch. Kniff vd Blutenau, who lived to the ripe old age of fourteen, dying only a month or so before his master.

Some of Frank's finest writing was done for the now extinct magazine Dogdom. In addition to the above he carried on columns for Dog News, Popular Dogs, Boxer Briefs and edited, singlehandedly, the parent club's own Boxer Club Review. He was much sought after as a Judge.
