Q. & A. with Elvis
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for Rottweilers encouraged the beginning of Von Gottlich Rott. I have been passionate about this breed for over 30 years. I studied and admired the breed many years before actually getting my first Rottweiler, and from there it just snowballed into becoming my responsible breeding program!
What makes your program special?
Each one of my beloved Rottweilers has obtained championships and world championships at the top of their breed. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. My Rottweilers have been carefully selected, with dogs imported from around the world, to guarantee their accomplished pedigree. I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
