We bought Uncle Sam from his breeder, Edwin Coombs, at six weeks. Like a lot of Back in Town stock he was a slow starter and at his first show he was only 5th in his class. But at this show, he caught the eye of famous breeder, Elizabeth Somerfield of the Panfield Boxers and she had no hesitation in predicting that Sammy would become a Champion.

Uncle Sam is acknowledged as having one of the best heads that has ever been seen in the UK and he won his CCs under some highly respected breed authorities. Along the way, he had some particular highlights to his career, for example, after winning his second CC at the Peterborough Show he was introduced to the Queen Mother who was the Royal visitor that year. He was also Best in Show at the British Boxer Club's Championship Show in 1977 under the greatly respected UK all-rounder, Bobby James. In that same year, Sammy was the Top Winning Boxer male. He made one come-back appearance at the South Western Boxer Club in 1981 where he won the CC and BIS from the Austrian judge, Hansi Hoehne on the same day that his kennel mate, Ch. Winuwuk Good Golly, won the bitch CC.

Although he was not extensively used at stud, being somewhat overshadowed by the kennel's American imports, he sired a couple of Champions, Ch. Willrait Titianesque and Ch. Glenfall The Gladiator. Through the Gladiator, Uncle Sam is solidly behind many of today's top winners.
