This is our 2000 Wildhaven Crew.
Left to Right, Diamond (Wildhaven's Diamond in the Ruff - 1988-2001), Tiger (Wildhaven's Tigers' Eye, CD 1994-2004), DiDi (Lady Diamond of Wildhaven, CD, CGC 1994-2006), and Amber (A/C Ch. Wildhaven's Precious Amber, CGC)
Diamond was our first Rottweiler and the one that started our love for the breed. Diamond was diagnosed as severely hip displastic at the age of 6 months, and we decided to give her a hip replacement which extended her life to 12 1/2 years of healthy living. Because of our beloved Diamond we did a lot of research on the causes for hip displasia and it has guided our decision to breed as strong of a hip line as possible in our dogs. It is to her and dogs like her that we dedicate ourselves to breeding only sound dogs of mind and body.
DiDi was out of our 2nd Wildhaven litter produced and a littermate to both Tiger and Emma (not pictured, Amber's mother). DiDi was originally sold to a wonderful home but came back to us at 18 months when they had to move out of state and felt it wasn't fair to put her in an apartment since she had been raised in the country. We were only going to keep her until they found a house but we fell in love with her and asked to keep her. She produced some very nice puppies, is mother to our Maxi, and grandmother to our next generation of puppies. DiDi and I competed for her CD with scores of 190-192.
Tiger was my soul mate, the perfect companion and the best of the Rottweiler breeds temperament and loyalty. He was my computer dog and from 4 months old and on, he would sit under my computer chair and table while I worked. He was OFA Excellent but sadly had a grade 1 on his elbows so I felt it was best not to put him into my breeding program, so he was neutered. He is uncle and great uncle to my next generations and I still see his great temperament and inteligence in Wildhaven puppies.
Amber is retired and a grandmother to our 4th generation of Wildhaven puppies. She has come out of retirement and is enjoying hitting the show ring as a veteran! We hope to get her out more this summer! She still loves to show and has been getting some nice speciality placements! (see more photos of her on our home page)

This is Purple Girl out of our Joey x Flame 2005 litter.
Sadie was our runt of the litter but that didn't stop her from being the sassy, cuddily girl she is. Sadie has gone to live with Sue Greenly and is being trained as a therapy dog, which we are very excited about.
Sadie was a lucky girl to find such a loving home and owner. We saw great working ability in her as a young puppy so we are pleased that Sue choose her.
UPDATE! Sadie completes her Therapy Dog testing with flying colors and is now a certified Therapy Dog! Sue and Sadie now visit nursing homes and hospitals and Sadie continues on as a great ambassador for our breed. Way to Go Sadie and Sue, we are so proud of you!
