Q. & A. with Moriah
Why did you start breeding?
We have always loved dogs and were excited to establish our breeding program. We have loved the journey and we are proud breeders of Rottweilers with a focus on temperament and the overall mental and physical health of our puppies. Our Rotties have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are AKC registered, and health tested. Our dogs are family members first & working dogs second. They each have unique personalities, yet never cease to amaze with their intelligence. We fully health test the dogs through genetic screening (JLPP, LEMP & NAD), hips, elbows, hearts and eyes through the OFA. We don't stop with the bare minimum; we go above & beyond. We also do not dock tails.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan, black and rust, and black and mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
