Meet the breeder

I'm Joanne B., the breeder behind Sky Valley Rottweilers located in Snohomish, WA. I have owned and loved this amazing breed since 1990! During that time, we have been on a wonderful journey of earning many working titles and producing excellent family members with beautiful conformation, temperament, and longevity. Puppies I have bred have achieved many working titles in obedience, rally, agility, tracking, herding, dock diving, lure coursing, nosework, barn hunt. Some are service and therapy dogs. ALL are well loved members of their family.

Q. & A. with Joanne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I retired from my career, I wanted to participate in showing, trialing, and breeding Rottweilers. I had the time and finances to do it properly and it is a labor of love.

  • What makes your program special?

    5 GENERATIONS + of FULL HEALTH CLEARANCES are behind any Sky Valley litter. TRANSPARENCY is important when shopping for a new family member! All breeding dogs complete health clearances and results are published on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals site (ofa.org). Buyers can look up the results of the parent dogs and beyond. All of these tests help to insure puppies will have the best start to life possible. TESTS: Hip Xrays, Elbow Xrays, Heart Echocardiograms, Eye Exams, DNA testing for 5 Neurological Issues in the breed. All results are posted for anyone to see. NO TAIL DOCKING - Dogs have tails for a reason and they use them for balance and communication. 100% RAW FEEDING - this is the species appropriate diet for a canine, not processed pellets made in a factory. 20+ years of raw fed dogs and puppies produce strong immune systems, strong muscles, clean teeth, glowing coats.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black and mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Joanne

Joanne has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Joanne partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

"I want to learn as much as possible about puppy homes - what is their goal for having the puppy? What do they want to do with their pup and their expectations? Age of their children? Energy level of the puppy? When the pups are 6 weeks old, each family is invited to come over for an individualized visit with the puppies and children and all family members are required to attend. These visits are not only fun for all, but they are educational as well. I see how the family interacts with the puppies and how the puppies interact with all the family members. I continue to evaluate the puppies for the next 2 weeks and at 8 weeks, I make the final placement decisions, keeping in mind a successful outcome for the pups and their new people. This is a successful process I've developed over the years which has worked out very well!"

Price

Puppy prices include a $800 non-refundable deposit and $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

"All the puppies are the same price, includes AKC Limited registration, a health guarantee, a veterinarian exam, appropriate worming and vaccines, and extensive breeder support, before and after you get your puppy. My puppies are the result of many generations of investment in raw food, and complete health clearances to give the pups the best chance of having a healthy life. The deposit is a confirmation that the buyer is certain they want a puppy from me. If there is not a puppy that fulfills their wishes, it is refundable or carried forward, buyer's choice. If there IS a puppy for them and they change their mind, then it is NOT refundable."

Contract & health guarantee

Joanne may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Joanne offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Joanne directly.
