Canine Services & Supplies and Quality Rottweilers

WindRiver Kennel's motto:  "For Love of the Breed"

My love is for all dogs, most notably the Rottweiler.   My hope is that the motto above will lead my every decision – that everything  I do will be done with the sincerest intentions for the advancement and preservation of quality Rottweilers and  with a desire for the best interest of the breed and the individual dog.  

My dogs are first and foremost family members and companions.  This can prove challenging when you have multiple big dogs of different sexes with some intact!  However, all my dogs are trained for 'house manners' and get quality house time.  Yes, they even get some sleeping on the bed time!  They enjoy romping in the woods and in the lake at our cabin up north.  They are also show dogs and are socialized and trained from a young age to enjoy and be comfortable in their kennels, ex-pens, riding in the car and a variety of other activities.  I want my dogs to be good ambassadors  for our breed and strongly believe in providing the training necessary to accomplish this.  Rottweilers are  very intelligent, working dogs – and as such need adequate physical and mental exercise. Because of this, we involve ourselves in all kinds of activities including conformation, obedience, rally, herding, agility and more.  We've even challenged the whippets on the lure course a time or two!  

There are four important qualities that I believe are crucial to maintaining the highest quality in our breed:  structure, temperament, health and working ability.  At WindRiver Kennels we will always strive to hold ourselves to the highest standards in these areas.  I am a member of the American Rottweiler Club, Rottweiler Club of Alaska, The Columbia River Rottweiler Club, the Rottweiler Club of Canada (pending) and the Alaska Kennel Club.

WindRiver Kennels would like to recognize and thank Laura Tankersley of Aspengold Rottweilers for being a great mentor and wonderful friend.  She has entrusted two of her puppies to WindRiver (Ripley and Magic) and considers Nova her grand-dog.  I would also like to thank Marlene Lore-Keene and Vickie Joy Stansberry of Marlo's Rottweilers for entrusting Nova to me and allowing one of their precious puppies to make its home in Alaska.  And last, but not least, my heartfelt gratitude to Suzanne Eikanger-Stoops of Parisans Rottweilers and Pamela Boles of Ravenscrest Rottweilers for beautiful little Domino, whom we co-own with Pam and her husband Drew.  

Each of my dogs has a page below with detailed information and pictures.  Additionally, there is a page for Noteworthy News, Heaven Sent and Upcoming Litters.  

• Ripley (AKC Major Pointed Aspengold Black River Canyon, CD, RN, BH, CGC).  She is my veteran and will turn nine in October 2007.

• Nova (BPISS Youth Sieger V-1 Rated Am/Can Ch. Marlo's Casanova Vittorio, RA, TDI, CGC).  Nova will be three years old in December 2007.  He is a beautiful boy with a great disposition.  He is the 'Star-Man,' pointed from the puppy classes, winning his Canadian Championship in four shows with a Group 1 win and his American championship with a final 4-pt major!

• Domino (Parisans Domino Of Ravenscrest).  Dom, also known as BB or Itty Bitty, was born December 30, 2006, and is a girl bursting with promise!  Domino won her first championship points from the 12-18 month class!  Domino is co-owned with Pamela Boles and Andrew Schroeder of Ravenscrest Rottweilers and was co-bred by Suzanne Eikanger-Stoops (Parisans Rottweilers) and Pamela Boles (Ravenscrest Rottweilers).

• Mia (Parisans Montrose of Ironwood).  Mia is our newest addition.  She is a big-boned girl; outgoing and confident with a fun-loving attitude.  She does, however, like to pick on her big sister Domino unmercifully!  Domino loves it though and thinks of Mia as her little sister play thing!
