About the Breeder
We are a retired military family (more than 24 years of service), located just outside Tallahassee, Florida with a passion for one of the most versatile breeds. We are originally from the heart of southeast Louisiana in the Florida Parishes. Collectively, owned, and trained Rottweilers for well over 20 years. We love to responsibly raise and train AKC Rottweilers so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members.
How did we get into breeding?
Although my wife and I are experienced pet owners, we enlisted the assistance of a well respected Rottweiler breeder before having our first litter. We mainly focused on the conformation (showing) for many years prior to deciding to produce a litter of puppies.
We love to responsibly raise and train Rottweilers so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. Our dogs are central to our lives, and we are proud of their accomplishments. We enjoy participating in German Sieger shows along with USCA obedience trials; staying involved in the breed.
What makes our breeding program special?
Von Der Quinn Rottweilers is a small breeding program, so of all our dogs receive one on one socialization. We plan two - four litters per year. Our adult dogs are not daily housed in kennels and must be housebroken as puppies. We encourage all our dogs to exercise throughout our 10 acre area which promotes confidence and an overall healthier Rottweiler. We do not breed to just sell puppies. We breed to keep from our litters to better our kennel. We travel several hours and through many states to perform breedings to the best male Rottweilers throughout the United States. Many cases, the studs used are imported to the U.S. to help improve kennel lines. We have never repeated a breeding to the same stud dog; although we have occasionally used the same male to get the desired characteristics which compliment our females.
