    We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Dave and Superior Family Kennels. From the very beginning, Dave was quick to respond and answered every question with patience and professionalism. Throughout the entire process, he provided consistent weekly updates—photos, videos, and thoughtful notes about our puppy’s growth and personality. It made us feel truly included and connected even before bringing our pup home. Dave’s home was immaculate, warm, and clearly a loving environment for his dogs. You can tell he puts real care into cleanliness, socialization, and early training. Our Rottweiler’s temperament is outstanding—calm, confident, affectionate, and exactly what we hoped for. It’s obvious that Dave goes above and beyond to ensure his puppies are healthy, well-adjusted, and ready for their new families. We could not be happier with our experience or our new family member. We highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a responsible, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional breeder!

    Dave was very responsive with all the questions I may have had, he also kept me in the loop every week with updates on my puppy by sending pictures. Dave also had all the paperwork needed to take my puppies vet. Dave was really nice and responded quickly. Superior Family Kennels made the transition very easy. Thanks again.

    Dave was very informative about the process from first contact. Pictures and videos to see how the pups were doing. From pickup Dave made sure we had what we needed to make sure the pup was comfortable with the transition. Months later I can tell you CJ is a bundle of joy and loves wrestling with his brother. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience
