Dee Dee,
Rowdy would be appalled at the thought of a dog rolling in horse manure. Yuck he'd say. He's kinda dainty that way

.
We have a Rowdy daughter out of his first breeding to an Annie daughter -- we bred the mom -- and that's Cassidy. We also kept a boy out of Cassidy's first litter which was a line-breeding on Annie's side and that's Sundance. Annie, our first Rottie, first show dog, first champion and now an ARC Gold Producer on 2 litters (one of only 8 in the history of the breed to achieve this level of production on 2 or less litters) is 10.5 years old and just took 1st in 9-11 Veterans Sweeps and 1st in 9-11 Veterans Regular Class at the Rottie National. She is a 25 inch, 103 lb Rottie girl with attitude up the kazoo.
So our current breeding stock includes a Rowdy daughter/Annie granddaughter and a Rowdy grandson/Annie great grandson. Being able to see all these dogs together playing in the same yard is really a joy. We are so very grateful that the dogs we have bred have become such great canine citizens and created further generations of really good, sound, intelligent, trustworthy Rottweilers.
Every puppy we've ever bred was delivered by Linda and me and brought up with our full involvement and love for the first 8 weeks of their lives. The results speak for themselves. Rowdy has 6 TDI-certified Therapy Dogs as part of his offspring. Annie has 10. We are more proud of that statistic than any other. We have been fortunate. We have also worked very hard to achieve these results.
Love to Hallie,
Jim
