Puppies Have Arrived!

They're Here! April 16, 2008

Destiny has delivered puppies by Bruno Black Iron Rott, son of Bronko Od Dragicevica, 2001 World Champion.

Destiny is the Grand-daughter of Am/Int Ch Kostlich Maverick Von Ursa.

We are looking for show, search & rescue, service, and of course, pet homes.

I am considering leaving tails on a couple extras (one is by request, + mine will have a tail), so if you would like your Rottweiler puppy to have a tail, let me know now!

I will post puppy availability to the "Puppies Under 6 Months" page shortly!

Breeding Correction : Destiny to Bruno

It seems God's plan for our future is a little different than I expected!

Destiny was bred to Bruno Black Iron Rott (Serbian National Vice Seiger), son of Bronko Od Dragicevica (2001 World Champion).

We will be expecting puppies to be ready in July 2008. I will announce when puppies arrive.


"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55: 8,9)

We will be trusting God with further details, proper placement of our puppies, etc, etc.

Planned Breeding - Abraham & Destiny

We are planning to repeat the breeding of Destiny to Abraham, and will be holding puppies back for Search & Rescue training.

Most of the puppies in the litter will become available at 12-16 weeks for the general public, and will have received their Puppy Obedience Training.

I will release puppies as early as 8 weeks to qualified show, search, and working homes, but documentation will be required.

I understand there will be people who are upset over this decision, but please understand: whereas the intention of most people is good, people just don't seem to find the time to properly train and socialize their new puppy. Early training is necessary, and as of today, I have heard no complaints from the new owners of our trained puppies.

More information will be posted in the near future.

Air Force News & A Little Humor

Another hearty Congratulations to our son, Dave, who recently graduated from Air Force tech school!

Dave is now Load Master on the C-130 planes and will be stationed in Yokota, Japan.

Unfortunately for Dave, and as fate and Military deployment would have it, Dave's "beloved" is stationed elsewhere.

Congratulations, Son, We're Proud of You!
(And thanks for the truck - I promise to be good to her! ;)
Love, Mom

Air Force Graduation

We are happy to announce our son Dave's graduation from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas!

The graduation ceremony was held on Good Friday, April 6, 2007.

Dave has also survived "survival training" ;) and is now in tech school for Load Master.

Congratulations Dave, We're Proud of You!

Melamine Found in Dog and Cat Food

The FDA has issued another list of tainted dog and cat food, this time with melamine, a chemical used in manufacturing plastics, and sometimes used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer.

The theory is that it was used to fake higher protein levels in wheat gluten, corn gluten, and rice protein concentrate. The source is (unfortunately) once again China, and the FDA is now sampling both rice protein and wheat gluten being imported from China. The affected corn gluten was found in South Africa.

I have listed a few comprehensive articles below that pretty much cover the details.

theory is that it was added to fake higher protein levels.
