Producing the Total Package
We believe that there are three very important keys to a well-rounded Rottweiler.
A primary concern in any breeding program should be Temperament. A good Rottweiler should fit into any family situation, be kind, gentle, and easily trained, as well as having enough heart to protect their family and friends.
After obtaining a puppy with a good temperament, it is key to provide Socialization, beginning at an early age! It is our belief that even a Rottweiler with sound genetics will come to dislike strangers if not properly socialized.
Another key to round out good temperament and socialization is Training. Even a friendly, outgoing Rottweiler can be both intimidating and potentially hazardous if it knocks down and tramples people, especially children and the elderly.
Although we were producing good Rottweilers with good genetics, I could see that there was a need for training puppies before they went home. There were already other top quality Rottweiler breeders like my mother, Roberta (Barclay Farms Rottweiler Central), so I decided to stop breeding and offer training.
We highly recommend continued training and socialization as part of your puppy's lifestyle, whether you obtain training through us or another source!
You can still access the "breeding" part of our website, where you will still see pictures of our dogs and will have access to our two year hip & health guarantee and our contract.
We leave these up so that both new breeders and breeders who wish better for their business & their dogs may get ideas for their own guarantees/contracts and will become better stewards for the dogs.
