Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the breed while placing an emphasis on producing Rottweilers of superior health, temperament, and conformation.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because of our dogs. Gateway Rottweilers is a premier breeder of Rottweiler dogs. Our focus on structure, conformation, and unmatched intelligence brings us to the front of the pack. We breed quality pups for family, service, and personal protection. Our pups are naturally protective against strangers and highly trainable. If you are looking for the perfect companion, look no further!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
