Richard’s experience

  • About Richard

    Hello. My name is Richard. I loved this great Rottweiler breed ever since I was a teenager. Now that I'm in my 40s, I able to show, train, love, and breed these dogs. My wife says that all I ever talk about are the dogs. I also create breeding flyers for other dog breeders. Lots of my work is on instagram. @BDE_Rottweilers

  • What makes Richard’s program special

    What makes us special is the fact that we truly love our dogs. Puppies are socialized and raised with puppy culture. Early neurological stimulation starts at birth. Dogs are paired to compliment each others strong points.
