Mr Allon Dawson, based at Leathley Grange, Otley in Yorkshire, founded the “Stainburndorf” Kennel of Boxers in 1934. He was a wealthy Yorkshireman, with big textile interests in his native county.

His affix 'Stainburndorf' came from two sources:

Stainburn - a village near Otley where he lived.
dorf - the German word for village.

In 1935 he bought a bitch from Mrs C Sprigge, namely Sally. Sally's charming disposition appealed to him resulting in Mr Dawson becoming a great Boxer enthusiast.

Mr Allon Dawson, had a booklet printed privately (year unkown), in a Yearbook format, with 24 pages including black and white photos of the great Boxer dogs of the past, with brief review of the history of British Boxer dogs.

Mr Allon Dawson was more concerned with the production of better Boxers than he was with personal wins in the show ring.

His kennel manager was Arthur Rounds, a dog man of the old school, always neat and tidy in his uniform of brown kennel overalls.

When Allon Dawson died in 1960, the kennel was wound up and the Stainburndorf affix was left to Peggy Penn. She lived quite near, in Yorkshire, and had used many of the Stainburndorf dogs at stud and founded her Boxers on Stainburndorf stock.

Allon Dawson made enquires about the good dogs in Germany, and as a result started to import Boxers from Germany. Amongst his imports were:
