Q. & A. with Kirsten
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always loved Rottweilers after seeing and learning about the issues that can plague the breed I decided to do everything in my power to breed a conformationally correct, sound, healthy dog.
What makes your program special?
My dogs really speak for themselves. We are currently a small program, but we have nice diversity with dogs from as far as Germany to dogs here from the U.S. with fantastic backgrounds, temperaments, and health. I’m very proud and happy with my foundation dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
