The repeat breeding of Spirit and Demi was born on January 15, 2009. Braden arrived at Minstrel Boxers on April, 16th. After taking Reserve to a 3-point major his first weekend in the ring with breeder, Bobbie Smith, followed by a Best Senior in Sweeps at Maryland Boxer Club in April, 2010, Braden went on to the American Boxer Club National in May, where he placed in both the Futurity and the Regular Classes. Then on May 29th, 2010, he took his first points -- a 5-point major his first weekend out with his east coast handler, Chris Baum.  Shown again one weekend in June, he took Grand Prize Sweeps at Ohio Boxer Club, and on to a 4-pointer at Harrisburg in August.

After taking the fall and winter off, Braden competed at the Specialties in Timonium, MD in April, 2011 earning Best of Winners at Maryland Boxer Club. And after appearing at the ABC Regional in October and winning the big Open Fawn class there, he finished in grand style with yet another 4-point major on December 17th, 2011 at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club under judge Bruce Schwartz with Ginny Shames doing the honors.
