ABOUT US
We appreciate your interest in our rottweilers. My name is John Bernard, and I began my involvement with the rottweiler breed in 1981. I have two grown sons, both of whom were raised around rottweilers and as a result have developed a passion for the breed. Since the beginning, I have been extremely active with the rottweiler breed in one capacity or another.
We are also very fortunate to have good friends in Beilingen Germany, who manage our ADRK rottweiler kennel. We have teamed up with Dirk Volkwein and his family, and this partnership allows us access to continually incorporate Germany's finest current bloodlines into our own. Besides being genuinely good people, the Volkweins share the same dedication to the rottweiler breed that we do.
