A wise man built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Matthew 7:24-25

First it is important to know that we have been working hands on with Rottweilers for close to 15 years personally both in raising, training and rehab-rescue. And also using this time to learn about the Rottweiler breed and always we will continue as we work towards our goals  in our FUTURE breeding program planned to begin in 2010.

I, believing that the working heritage of the Rottweiler must be preserved above everything else. What I have personally witnessed over time is that this wonderful breed was becoming very diluted. This all happening because of poor breeding and mass breeding of these poorly bred dogs. There has been loss of strength, workability, lacking intelligence, mental and cognitive dysfunctions, hip and other medical issues. To the point where one could hardly call it a Rottweiler. So it is my love for this wonderful loving breed of dog that  motivates me. This is my pure bred of choice of the canine. The true Rottweiler.

We follow an extreme code of ethics Rottweiler Breeding Plan.  We are NOT a commercial breeding facility nor business. Our dogs are in our home and live with us as part of our family. We are striving to produce long living healthy Rottweilers with very sound temperaments while preserving  the working heritage of the Rottweiler.   And the lengths we will go to ensure this is boundless.  We are strongly opposed to any type of commercial breeding and/ or volume breeding some of which have no regard for the health and temperament of the dogs they produce and are only producing puppies for the retail market as a retail product.

Our dogs are of true German Bloodlines, with incredible drive, character and temperament, which is an tremendous asset for a superior working dog and family companion dog........ Please understand that we are not talking about a  barking, out of control, aggressive dog, This is a family oriented, social, willing to work and please you kind of dog. Please, take the extra time and do your research prior to actually getting a Rottweiler. Unfortunately, many people equate working ability with aggression. Our definition a stable temperament is the ability to do protection work (Schutzhund), yet function as a pet therapy dog. Working ability and aggression are not directly linked. The fact of the matter is that a well trained dog is less of a liability than one without training out of non-working lines. Remember. by researching this wonderful breed you will greatly improve your own ability to pick out the right dog for you and your families, personality, lifestyles. Buying a puppy should NEVER be an impulse, quick decision, but rather done as a commitment to the dog for its lifetime.

We are also very active in Rottweiler Rescue efforts. And have placed many wonderful Rottweilers rescued from neglectful situations and those dogs who where tossed aside through no fault of their own.  So please do not rule out the possibility of a rescued or displaced Rottweiler.  Please contact us if you would like assistance in locating a Rottweiler Rescue in your area.
