When my son
Eliseo 3 years old vió to Lex said, this I
like it.
Lex is the second dog that I buy to Joeri
and it is really very good.
It doesn't care if when it grows it is not
so good, Joeri selects the best thing for
us.
And I believe that this sensation has it all
those that goes to Redwood Krest
Thank you Joeri and Christina
to put within reach of all us, dogs of
excellent quality.
And thank you for their cordial treatment
and honesty.
I wish them the best thing for this 2007,
you deserve it.
Greetings

Joeri and
Christina,
We
want to thank you for all the help you have
provided since acquiring Tally. She has an
excellent temperament and gets along well
with our other pets. Tally has a high drive,
happy, and confident personality that keeps
us laughing at her all the time. She has
excellent conformation with a beautiful
headpiece.
When researching
different breeders we found Redwood Krest’s
impressive accomplishments with not only
showing their dogs but also breeding dogs
that love to work! Thanks again for being
patient and spending the time to honestly
answer all our questions.
Sincerely,
Cindy and Rene
I would like to express my gratitude to
Joeri Goedertier from Redwood Krest
Rottweilers for his work with my dog, Ergos.
I sent him Ergos as a young, tremendously
powerful, stubborn, unruly male. He
cared for, conditioned and trained him in
such a way that today he is a pleasure to be
around. Joeri’s training methods are
first rate and his love for dogs is obvious
to anyone who meets him. His impact on
my dog has been substantial, and the
positive training method he employs has left
me with a happy, well trained companion.
What’s more; I have the dog I have always
wanted: a Schutzhund titled rottweiler
with a successful show record. I owe
all of this to Joeri and his wife Christina,
and I will be forever grateful.
It is a pleasure doing
business with
reputable breeders such as yourselves.
Fantom is the best dog anyone
could ever hope for. We thought our bullmastiff
was a great dog (and she is) but Fantom is so
much more calm, confident, self-assured and
smart! He loves to learn new things and does so
extremely quickly. We are enjoying him so much
that it has inspired Kara to start her own dog
walking/pet sitting business (One Fur All) now
that our kids are both back in school full time.

Surprise……….not a Rott!!! 
In 2001 I
purchased a Malinois puppy, Ace van de
Barbierhoeve (aka Lacey), from Joeri and
Christina. I could not be happier!
She was imported from Belgium and they were
very prompt and helpful providing the
paperwork necessary to register her with the
AKC. Lacey is a wonderful
representative of the breed with an
exceptional pedigree
www.pawvillage.com/pedigree/dynoprofile.asp?ID=63T8ZSIPAA
I am very proud of her and her
accomplishments. She is AKC pointed
with multiple best of breed wins in
conformation. She has numerous agility
titles and excels in herding, obedience and
tracking. Her hips, elbows, eyes and
heart are certified. Beyond all that I
she is one of my “best friends”. I
don’t know what I would do without her and I
can not thank Joeri and Christina enough for
giving me the opportunity of having her in
my life!!
Ps………………not only did I get a great dog but I
have made GREAT lifelong friends!!!
Thanks again you guys for everything!!!
Hugs,
Dana n Spacey Racey Lacey

Over the last year we have bought three
excellent Rottweilers from Redwood Krest
Kennels.
Their service has been outstanding and honest.
We recommend Redwood Krest to any one who wants
a quality Rottweiler.

Dear Joeri and Christina,
February 14, 2006
 We
started looking at bringing a puppy into our
home about a year ago. My husband was
looking for a breeder that had quality dogs
that he could show, breed and be a companion
for our family. I had never owned a dog and
my husband was set on a Rottweiler. After
reading the many books he brought home I was
pretty sure the breed was a good choice for
our family.
He brought Zoe (Chloe) home
by airplane at Christmas, she did great on
the flight and had several people asking
about her. From the day she arrived she has
been amazing. She's been so easy to train,
she has such a great temperament and not to
mention she is absolutely beautiful. She's
also really good with our boys and the dozen
or so kids that live in our court.
We have many friends who own
dogs, (more than a few own Rottweilers)
every single one of them have fell in love
with our puppy because of her disposition,
intelligence and personality. What we hear
over and over is "she's perfect" ... and she
is.
We are getting a second puppy
from you soon, we want to thank you for
breeding, what we know will be the perfect
male. We want to thank you, you are doing a
wonderful job. Aside that, first and
foremost, not only did we find the right
breeder, but real people that I consider
life long friends!!
Sincerely,
Lori and Cleveland
DEAR JOERI,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PICKING AN AMAZING PUPPY
FOR MY FAMILY. WE NAMED HIM TRADER, AND HE IS
THE BEST LOOKING ROTTWEILER I HAVE EVER HAD. HE
HAS A WONDERFUL THICK BUILD WITH BIG PAWS AND A
BIG HEAD. TRADER IS ALSO A VERY LOVING DOG, HE
LOVES PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY HIS FAMILY. WHEN I AM
AT WORK HE
PLAYS AT MY SISTER'S HOUSE. SHE HAS FOUR YEAR
OLD TWINS, A TWO YEAR OLD BOY, AND A SIBERIAN
HUSKY. TRADER LOVES TO BE OVER THERE PLAYING
WITH THE KIDS AND THE DOG. HE IS VERY TOLERANT
OF SMALL CHILDREN, AND HE LAYS AND SNUGGLES WITH
THE HUSKY. HE ALSO PLAYS WITH MY DAD'S
ROTTWEILER WHO IS FIFTEEN MONTHS OLD. HE STAYS
VERY BUSY AND LOVES EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS WHEN I DECIDED TO BUY A
PUPPY FROM A KENNEL OUT OF STATE, THAT I HAD
ONLY SEEN OVER THE INTERNET, BECAUSE MY FAMILY
AND I HAVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THAT IN THE
PAST. AFTER IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE, I GOT EVEN
MORE THAN I EXPECTED FROM REDWOOD KREST. THANK
YOU FOR BEING HONEST, AND DELIVERING AN
EXCEPTIONAL PUPPY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU IN THE
FUTURE, AND WOULD RECOMMEND YOUR KENNEL WITHOUT
HESITATION!
SINCERELY,
SCOTT BLACKHAM

 My
Fellow Rottweiler
Fanciers,
Please accept my submission as sincere
testimony to the outstanding services; my
friends at
Redwood Krest
Rottweilers &
K-9 Training Center have to offer.
Joeri
Goedertier and
his wife & partner Christina Riley-Goedertier
are as credible a resource as you will find
on the Rottweiler
breed anywhere.
Professional
is not a self-proclaimed title that a
“breeder” can simply give them self, it is
earned by quality results, consistent yield,
and ethical conduct. I have found true
professionals at Redwood
Krest
Rottweilers,
and because of my good fortune in doing
business with the
Goedertier’s, my life long dream to
own a high quality European
Rottweiler has
been realized.
Upon spending
an afternoon chasing
Joeri around at a regional ARV show
last July (2005), I was convinced that after
10 years of research on the breed and a lot
of conflicting information from “experts”
along the way, that
Joeri & Christina were the right
source for me. In his own charming
way,
Joeri made it
abundantly clear that even though I had done
an admirable job doing research that I still
lacked the expertise and resources to select
and import a “quality”
Rottweiler. Furthermore, he
convinced me that a solid grasp and thorough
understanding behind the science and art of
breeding Rottweilers
was not something the typical fancier or dog
owner possessed. Importing a dog from
Europe was an entirely different
matter all together, and after consulting
Joeri, I knew I
was at high risk of making a large financial
and emotional mistake if I did not consider
enlisting the services of Redwood
Krest
Rottweilers.
In August of
2005, Samoa dell’
Antico Guerriero
was purchased from Francesco
Zamperini of the
famous kennel, Dell’
Antico Guerriero
in Italy. The relationship
Redwood
Krest has with
Mr. Zamperini,
as well as many more of the top breeding
kennels around the world enabled them to
locate, negotiate, purchase, and deliver the
most ideal dog for me. My goals, my
budget, and even my emotional needs were
kept at the top of their work list
throughout the entire process.
Considering the
Goedertier’s
reputation and that of Mr.
Zamperini in
Italy, I felt like I had a world class group
of pros working for ME! The result of
all this of course, was Samoa. She is
now a member of my family, and the
foundation bitch for my very humble, “hobby”
breeding kennel, Von
Der
Helden
Kreuz
Rottweilers.
When it comes
to understanding a dog’s conformation,
temperament, breed related congenital health
problems, as well as the standards of the
dog’s breed set by the most reputable breed
clubs (i.e. FCI, ADRK, ARV, USRC, ARC),
there is just too much to understand when
making an informed and intelligent decision
on which puppy or adult to purchase, and
most importantly from whom. Financial
investments aside, the emotional investment
that goes along with buying a dog of any
caliber is huge in my opinion. When
you invest yourself in your dogs like I do
mine, then you don’t weigh their worth any
differently than the people of importance in
your life. Retaining the services of
credible, knowledgeable, compassionate,
resourceful, ethical, and trust worthy
professionals, is the foundation you should
always start from before considering
investing in your future
Rottweiler.
Our breed is
truly a noble breed.
Rottweilers are special in many ways,
and require a special understanding.
Whether you are looking for a great Working
dog, a stellar Conformation
dog, a sound and loyal family pet, or any
combination of these; be sure to save
yourself a lot of time, frustration,
financial capital, and heartache. Talk
with
Joeri &
Christina at Redwood
Krest. Ask them ANYTHING!
You may or may not like their answers, but
you will get an ethical and sincere
response. Opinions and philosophies
aside, there are a number of basic,
non-negotiable, objective criteria in
determining whether or not you are
purchasing a quality
Rottweiler.
Though there are NO GUARANTEES when
purchasing and owning a live animal, there
are some intelligent decisions you can make
about the associated risks of investing in a
breed like ours. Be sure you base your
decisions on the most credible information
you can. Joeri
& Christina will earn your trust if you
afford them the opportunity. They will
educate, provide you with professional
service, and they will find you the
Rottweiler of
your dreams…
Do not
hesitate to contact me for a reference or
endorsement about my personal experiences
with Joeri &
Christina and the Redwood
Krest
Rottweiler
Kennel. Emails and phone calls are
always welcome.
Respectfully
Yours,

Dear Jeori and Christina,
First of all I want to
thank you for a wonderful companion.
Beaudean is the best! He has only been here
4 weeks but if he does a fraction as well in
the show ring as he has as my companion I
will be on cloud nine. He is already so
perfect if he never enters a show ring he
will still be my constant companion and my
forever friend.
Second, I never told you
this but I did tons and tons of research
prior to choosing a kennel. Redwood Krest
was my very top choice. But I could not
imagine living with a Rottweiler who had a
tail. So I left a deposit with a kennel on
the east coast that docks tails. The puppies
were born and as the pictures began coming,
I was asked to choose which puppy I wanted
as I had first choice. They all looked so
small and scraggly I could not decide on
which one could possibly be the pick. At the
same time I continued to visit your web site
and look at the litter currently on the
ground. They looked so big, so healthy, just
like what I wanted. So I decided to lose my
$500 deposit and live with a tail. I told
the breeder on the east coast that I had
changed my mind. I talked to you and was
admittedly a little worried because you were
going to chose the puppy instead of me. But
I decided to trust my first impression, my
gut instinct and go with my original choice
of a Redwood Krest puppy. Also being a bird
breeder I often have to decide which parrot
fits with a certain family so you weren't
too far off of my own practices.
You had two litters
coming up and helped me decide which one
would be best. You chose my puppy. And so
far Beaudean exceeds all of my expectations.
I have bred, raised and shown Australian
Shepherds for years. Aussies are known
for their high intelligence. I did not
expect my rott puppy to be as intelligent as
he so obviously is. Beau is extremely smart
and even rivals our Border Collie in the
brains department. In addition he has a very
very nice temperament, which is so important
since I have Parrot customers in and out of
my home on a daily basis as well as very
young grandchildren who come to visit. Beau
will turn 3 months old tomorrow. He loves
everyone but has already shown himself to be
protective at this young age.
Three years ago I lost my
10 year old "perfect" male Aussie to cancer.
He has been irreplaceable until now. Thank
you both so very much. I would recommend you
to anyone and my next Rottweiler will come
from Redwood Krest. And I love the tail!

 Hi
Joeri and Christina,
I
purchased one of your puppies from Django
and Lilly litter born on Febuary 22, 2005.
I just
wanted to let you know she has been the best
Rottweiler I have ever owned. I am currently
obedience training her and she is doing very
well. She always wants to please me and she
is very loving. I have received several
compliments on her looks and her
temperament. My son wants to purchase a
puppy from you in the near future as well.
We love her dearly and I just wanted to
thank you for such a great dog.
Sincerely,
Pam Velder

I bought two pups from Joeri - one out of Mambo
and one out of Muck.From my experience, I can
tell you that I am very impressed with his care,
knowledge, and his devotion to the breed. I find
Joeri to be very easy going and down right
truthful about his trade. The more I talk to
Joeri, the more I like the guy. The more I talk
to him, it seems, the more pups I have from him.
I should stop talking to the guy. (LOL)
Thank You! Joeri, for being an honest person.
When I need to know an honest or truthful
opinion on a dog, dog matter, or any subject,
you are there to provide it. For being a big and
successful Rottweiler kennel, you guys are very
approachable and reasonable - very much unlike
the others.
The pups I received from you, Joeri -as I told
you on the phone- seems as if they were already
trained. I have never seen pups with that much
smarts and excellent behavior. They would sleep
inside or outside without making a single noise
from day one- at 10 weeks old. They never had a
bathroom accident in the house, and I did not
have to lease train them - they already knew.
Both pups acted very much a like, but they were
for different litters and were three months
apart; therefore, you guys are doing something
right when you are raising your pups.
I will always try to keep you and Christina
updated on the puppies progress. Thank You for
bring these great German Bloodlines to the USA.
Your Friend,
John Ung

Dear Joeri,
I’m
writing to thank you for our new puppy. We call
her Mia (short for Annabellamia). I think you
have selected a wonderful companion/guardian for
us. I have to admit that I was a little worried
when I picked her up at the airport. She didn’t
want to come out of the kennel at first. But
within 10 minutes or so of getting her home and
into the house she came out and began getting
acquainted with the whole family.
Within an
hour Mia was all over everyone. She seems to be
forming a special attachment with our daughter
Amy, exactly as I had hoped. She is curious,
playful and strong as a horse already.
As you
know, Mia joins our 3-year old Golden (Joe) and
our 4-year old cat (Charcoal) as well as a pet
rabbit we never got around to naming. I am very
pleased with the way all of the animals are
adjusting to each other. Mia has taken to
following Joe everywhere, when Amy is not
around. She pounces on him, plays tug-o-war with
him with her new rope toy and pulls on his tail
( until Joe gives her a growl ) which backs her
up for all of about 5 seconds and she goes right
back to him.
As you
might expect, the cat is a bit more circumspect
of the new puppy but Mia typically approaches
him in a more gentle way than how she plays with
Joe and the cat has actually let the puppy come
up and lick her, although the second Mia’s sharp
little puppy teeth come out to play kitty jumps
to high ground. It would probably wise for kitty
to give Mia one good smack with her paw if she
plays too rough, but I think they will figure it
out for themselves.
The wait
seemed like forever but we are sure glad we
waited. I honestly don’t think we could have
selected a better puppy, or breeder. Kudos’ to
you and Redwood Krest!
Sincerely,
Michael B. Hudson

In my search for my rottweiler puppy, there
were certain qualities I looked for in
individual/breeder before I gave any
consideration whatsoever to what they were
trying to sell:
1. Reputation
2. Integrity
3. Knowledge
4. Passion/Commitment
5. Consistency
I believe I
found these qualities in Joeri Goerderteri
of Redwood Krest
Rottweilers. In my first conversation with
him, I was very impressed with how open he
was in sharing information and how gracious
he was in the amount of time he had to spend
with me. The conversation was not a focused
Sales Pitch, Joeri was trying to determine
my future goals for this puppy and assess
whether or not he could meet my needs. He
also gave me direction and advice for some
challenges I was facing with a six month old
pup. Joeri also shared some insight on his
experiences and thoughts on importing
puppies from Europe.
During the course of our conversation Joeri
mentioned that he had a breeding that might
be of some interest to me: Maik von der
Frankentanne x Samoa dell Antico Guerriero.
We spoke at length about the attributes that
Maik and Samoa possessed as well as any they
were lacking. I knew I found what I was
looking for and let Joeri know that I would
have a reservation check in the mail for him
asap.
Eight weeks passed and the pups were ready
to go. Joeri called to let me know that he
had selected a very promising male for me;
one that he planned on holding back for
himself. He assured me this was the one I
wanted and if I wasnt immediately impressed
with him to send him back. Wellhe was
right. I pulled Zeke out of the crate, just
outside the cargo area and all I could say
was OMG!!!
Needless to say, my wife and I are very
pleased with the latest addition to our
family. Thank you so much. We look forward
to meeting you one day and wish you
continued success.
Best Regards,
Val Mojica

Hello,
Well it will be 2 years since we first
brought home Lucifer. He is a younger
image of his father Axel. We bought him
for our daughter's 3 birthday present
and he has won the hearts of everyone in
our family. The way he is can be so
frustrating that it is very funny. He is
one of the most stubborn dogs I have
ever encountered which is why we enjoy
him so much. He never gives up on
anything and has a very watchful eye on
our 2 young children. He has destroyed
walls and numerous items, yet he always
has a kiss for you when you need it the
most. Having Lucifer in our family has
proven to be a huge task, one that we
enjoy everyday. He is more than a dog,
he is a huge member of our family. We
look forward to more years with him, and
we will most defiantly be looking into
getting another dog from RedwoodKrest.
Attached is a picture of our daughter
with her puppy at about 9 months. As you
can see the quality of this dog, you can
see the makings of a future protector
and loyal companion. We are very happy
with Lucifer (Luci) to our 2 year old.
Thank-you for breeding such wonderful
animals for the world and proper owners
to enjoy.
The Phillips.

Joeri,
Proud owners of Redwood Krest's Yasmine: 
While in search for a female out of Mambo von der
Crossener Ranch, we found Redwood Krest Rottweilers
had just posted an ideal upcoming litter sired by
Mambo X Dina von St. Niclas. We looked at other
Mambo breeding's and found this particular
breeding to be a great match.
Contacting Joeri right away, we informed him of what
we were looking for in a puppy and he delivered.
Throughout the purchase, he keep us well informed
with photographs, and up to date information on the
litter. Everything to this point has been a
wonderful experience.
Arriving at 8 weeks old, on a seven hour
flight, we expected Yasmine to be stressed
& air sick. We were extremely pleased to
find her alert and ready to explore. She seemed
very confident and curious with the airport
surroundings as she eagerly checked
everything out.
Yasmine possess a strong
head, beautiful coloring, nice markings, confidence,
a great temperament, excellent drive, and is
stunningly gorgeous. She already shows a great
potential for the show ring. We look forward to
getting her out on the Schutzhund field, and are on
our way to her CGC title.
Redwood Krest focuses on the highest breed standards
including conformation, structure, type,
temperament, health and function. This evident from
the list of accomplishments bestowed upon them.
Redwood Krest Rottweilers are professionals who tend
their business in a very personal manner. The extent
of knowledge they possess is very warm and inviting.
I would like to thank Redwood Krest Rottweilers, and
we look forward to sharing many years of Rottweilers
and friendship with them.

Owner of Redwood Krest's Rillke and Redwood Krest's
Ursa:
As
a breeder, handler and veterinarian, I am most
impressed with the quality and soundness of their
puppies. They (Riellke and Ursa) are already showing
great potential for the show ring and various other
activities, e.g., herding and working. I am very
satisfied and would willingly buy another dog from
them when the situation arises.

We
want to take the time to let you know how our, “baby
boy,” Redwood Krest’s Nitro Don Henry, CGC, (Hank)
is doing.
As you know Hank is our second rottweiler. Our
first, Gus, was a large dog weighing about 150
lbs. He was the love of our life. However,
he passed away from bone cancer at seven years of age
and we missed him terribly.
After a few
months we decided we would like to get another
rottweiler, so we started looking. We went to
local dog shows, and to the Golden Gate Kennel Club
dog show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. We
found a breeder at the Cow Palace, and thought we would
be getting a pup from her, but it didn't work out, and
that of course was a big set back for us.
In
our search we found your website on the internet Redwood
Krest Rottweilers. We were really impressed,
Joeri, with the amoutn of time you spent on the phone
with us when we contacted you, answering all of our
questions, and the extent of your knowledge and
commitment to this beautiful breed. Not only are
you concerned about the conformation of the breed, but
also: temperament, health and brains, not necessarily in
that order, are of the highest priority.
We
were fortunate to get a puppy out of your "N"
litter, Gonzzo Earl Antonius x Karla Od Dragicevica.
Everything from that point on has been a wonderful
experience. We brought Hank home at 7 1/2
weeks. He was a very handsome little guy.
Now, Hank is 10 1/2 months old: he weighs 90 lbs,
he has a great head, beautiful coloring, markings and
pigmentation, good balance, nice feet and a WONDERFUL
LONG tail (for those of you that question that, try it
you'll like it). It is so wonderful to see him
work with his tail held high and to see him greet
everyone with wags of love. Everyone who meets
Hank comments how he is the most Beautiful
Rottweiler they have ever seen (and we AGREE!!).
Hank's
temperament is what anyone would want in a dog. We
were surprised after our last dog. What a pleasure
it is to have a dog with such a confident temperament,
and again it sis shown in the wag of his tail.
Hank
is a very smart dog, he learns quickly. He has
been going to obedience classes since he was about 3 1/2
or 4 months old. At 7 1/2 months he got his Canine
Good Citizen ®
(CGC) we know that is not a big deal to some of
you, but it is to us because it shows his ability to
learn, socialize and the good temperament we want.
Again, Joeri and Christina, we want to thank you so very
much.
Fondly,
Don
and Fran Incardona
Grants Pass, Oregon

Dear Joeri & Chrisitna,
We
wanted to write to express our gratitude for all of your help,
guidance and support over the last
few years. From our first conversation your knowledge of and
dedication to the Rottweiler breed was evident. You are
always helpful and willing to share your knowledge with us
and you have supported us every step of the way. Both of you are
have been instrumental in helping us learn as much as we can
about all aspects of the Rottweiler breed...including
conformation, structure, type, temperament, health and function.
In all
of our encounters with you, never once have we heard you
criticize other breeders or their dogs as so many others do.
Instead you concentrate on educating us about your own
dogs, their traits and their lines. You have patiently answered
our many questions in an open, honest and straightforward
manner, which we greatly appreciate. The information and
documentation you keep on file for each of your dogs is a
representation of your high level of professionalism. The two of
you are truly unlike any other breeder we have encountered.
When we
brought Disel home, even though you did not breed him, you spent
many hours on the phone with us discussing Disel's sire,
Axel vom Calibra, so that we could understand the lines in our
dog and the temperament we were seeing. You talked to us at
length about showing, training and raising our dog for the
sport. Not many stud dog owners would do that, and that in
and of itself is a testimony to the caliber of breeder that you
are.
When we
approached you about buying V1-rated/ARV National Youth Seiger
'04/ARV NWRYS '03 Redwood Krest's Fausto, you provided us with
the volumes of information that was asked for. You spent hours
on the phone with us answering our many questions and provided
detailed information about Fausto's strengths AND
weaknesses....a subject many breeders skip over when it
comes to their dogs and lines. Perhaps a bit foolhardy at
the time, we bought Fausto sight unseen other than some pictures
on the internet. But we trusted you and it paid off for us.
Fausto was everything you represented him to be and more. As has
every dog been that we have since bought from you.
We appreciate all of the aid you gave us during the selection
and import of Multi V-1/B.A.R.K. Select Adult Male '04 Maik von
der Frankentanne SchH/VPG III AD BH ZTP. The sheer volume
of contacts and your stellar reputation in Europe was
evident during the 5 days we were in Germany. Your help,
honesty and professionalism in the purchase, training, handling,
breeding and subsequent sale of Maik was absolutely impeccable.
We would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking to
import, show or trial a Rottweiler. Even though we do
not own Maik any longer we are thrilled and grateful to be able
to add Maik to our burgeoning breeding program. We could not
have done it without you!
Since
then you have blessed us with Multi-VP Redwood Krest's Onyx. She
was a kind and generous gift of friendship and we were truly
honored by your presentation of her to us. She is a beautiful
social female that is quite full of temperament. She is
doing very well in the show ring and we are really looking
forward to getting her out on the trial field.
We are also
extremely pleased with our two new females, Multi V1-rated/Multi
Youth Siegerin Polly von der Frankentanne BH and V-rated/Youth
Siegerin Golda Vom Grüntenblick BH. We appreciate your aid in
locating and purchasing these two promising young females. When
we told you that we were looking for foundation bitches for our
breeding program, you interviewed us in detail and located
exactly what we were looking for. You searched for females for
us as if you were searching for females for your own
kennel. Both girls are everything we expected and we were so
pleased when Polly was V1 rated twice and Golda was V3 rated in
their very first shows here in the US. We are looking forward to
many great things from both of these girls in the future.
We will
never forget the first time we came out and visited the both of
you, your dogs and your kennel. We knew you bred beautiful dogs,
but what struck us and what will always stay with us is the
absolutely consistent and impeccable temperaments all of your
dogs possess. We have never seen a breeding program that
produced such consistent type, temperament, structure and
conformation. If our future breeding program is
half as successful as yours then we will be way ahead of the
game!
Today
you continue to mentor us in every way possible...even allowing
us to participate in a whelping so we could be prepared when and
if that time ever comes for us. Never in our wildest imagination
when we picked up the phone 4 years ago to inquire about an
Umbro puppy, did we ever imagine that not only would you become
mentors, but also very dear and enduring friends.
Again,
thank you for all you have done and continue to do for us as we
progress in the show and working venues. We look forward to
sharing many more years of Rottweilers and friendship with you
both!
Sincerely,
Samantha & Steven

It took me over a YEAR to find the right breeder for my
Rottweiler! In
the process, I compiled a 3” binder of specifics about
every Northern California breeder I could locate (at the
time, Redwood Krest was located in
Redwood City
). There were
many good breeders in the mix, but I was particularly
attracted to Christina’s and Joeri’s commitment to
produce dogs with good temperaments.
Besides the basic breed standard, it was critical that I
acquire a dog with three basic requirements.
1) Good
temperament. 2)
Good temperament. 3)
Good temperament.
Redwood Krest met my standards of what I wanted my
Rottweiler to be, and Venus continues to exhibit outstanding
beauty, character, personality and an even temperament.
I am single mother with a young daughter, and Venus
makes us both feel safer than any man ever has!
Who needs a man anyway – I have a ROTTWEILER !!!!!
Christina and Joeri have been especially encouraging and
supportive of me as a first time Rottweiler owner.
They encouraged me to get a female puppy (THANK GOD).
I am incredibly happy with Venus.
She is strong, stunningly gorgeous, regal, and
incredibly protective. Soon
I will send her to R.A.T.B. training (Rottweilers Against
Teenage Boys) to keep all teenage boys away from my
beautiful and talented 12 year old!
I have four promises to purchase puppies from my three year
old Rottweiler purchased from Redwood Krest, and she
hasn’t even been bred yet!
Why? Because
Venus, is so stunningly beautiful and REGAL in appearance,
with such an excellent friendly but yet protective demeanor,
that people just naturally fall for her – in the parking
lot at Trader Joe’s, at the dog park, at the meat market
where I purchase her B.A.R.F. diet ingredients.
She is magical, because the breed standards that
Redwood Krest focus on are at the very highest end of the
scale. I
applaud them and their commitment to this fabulous breed.
From
this day forward, I will only, ever, always be a Rottweiler
owner and Redwood Krest will only, every always be my source
for dogs. I will
either purchase future dogs from them or have them help me
breed my own dog. (originally purchased from them).
In my view, I will not need to spend any more time
ever searching for a Rottweiler source.
One
doesn’t buy a DOG from a respectable breeder, one buys a
RELATIONSHIP with the breeder as well.
Unless the breeder is there for you through thick and
thin, providing phone, email, or reference support for any
problems or concerns you have with their dogs, DON’T BUY
FROM THEM. Christina
and Joeri are the PERFECT example of buying a dog with all
the necessary backup support that is required.
They have been patient with my neophyte questions,
supportive of my concerns, and seemingly CONSTANTLY helping
me turn my Venus into an outstanding representative of what
Rottweilers should be. I
applaud them. I
appreciate them. You
should too.

P.S. – THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joeri
Goedertier found us a great dog for our breeding program -
four of
Aika's first litter have achieved a rating of SG1 in an IABCA
Dog Show
recently. He also
worked with another dog we purchased, and was able to fix some
bad
habits her
previous owner had gotten her into.
We found him to be honest and straight-forward in our business
dealings
-- he tells you how things are, not what he thinks you might
want to
hear.
And he's got a good sense of humor which makes dealing with
him a
pleasure. Thanks Joeri!

Dear
Joeri and Christina,
Thank you so much for all your help with the new pup.
Ozara (call name Zari) came in to
Orlando
International
Airport
at about
7:00 pm
on Friday night as Randy Theen (DVG SE Region Training
Director), his young son Aaron and I anxiously awaited her
arrival.
The air time was a total of almost seven hours and to be
honest, I expected a rather stressed, possibly air sick pup.
Boy was I surprised.
It took less than a minute for her to come out of that
crate and be ready to play.
You said she’d never been on a leash before, but within
minutes she was walking nicely on it without a problem.
She was alert, curious and very happy, with that tail
wagging furiously.
Randy and I did some gentle testing with her, there at the
airport cargo area with the jets coming and going and
forklifts and semi tractors all around us.
She showed alertness and curiosity to everything around
her. No adverse
reactions to anything that we could think of.
She was secure with strange footing, loud sounds and
strangers.
Her ball/play drive was obvious when Randy turned over a
plastic trash drum and threw the ball into it, she didn’t
hesitate to run inside and get the ball.
In the two weeks since then, I’d like to say that she’s
fit into our household very well.
She’s been with me just about everywhere, the vet,
and stores, training at our club, and everywhere she goes
she’s very friendly and outgoing.
She doesn’t seem to be phased by traffic, slick
flooring, shopping carts, bicycles or motorcycles etc.
If anything does spook her, she quickly recovers and
goes back to explore it.
My compliments on her breeding and upbringing, if she’s a
typical specimen, you’re doing something right.
I look forward to beginning her training for the sport
and many happy hours with her.
I’ll be happy to update you with photos and information as
she progresses.
Sincerely
Shelly Timmerman

Hello Joeri
and Christina,
I
just thought I would send you a letter and let you know
how absolutely pleased we are that we found you and chose
a puppy out of Mambo/Donna. I have enclosed
photographs with a previous e-mail that were taken today
that are a good example of how beautiful, proud, and
confident he is.
Our
puppy is developing so incredibly fast that I cannot
believe he's only four months old. He went to the
veterinarian today for his final DHLPP booster and weighs
in at 48.9 pounds! Behavior has been excellent, he can be
a bit aggressive with our two-year-old female French
mastiff, but that's just a Rottweiler being a Rottweiler.
He has managed to completely dominate her, but that's OK
because she has accepted that he is going to be the Alpha
dog so I don't think we should have many problems because
she cows down to him immediately if he becomes angry and
growls, she will either trying to get him to focus on a
toy or she will flip over on her back and let him win,
defusing the situation.
It
was evident from the very beginning that this was going to
be an exceptional dog. The night that I picked him
up from your kennel, I taught him to sit on command in a
matter of 30 minutes in my hotel room. From the very
onset, he walked well on a leash, brimming with
confidence.
Since
picking him up, I have taught him to heel on a leash,
staying close by on my left side at all times. It
only took two 20 minute walks to teach him to sit when I
stop walking, and he stays still as cars pass by. As
a matter of fact, when he sits next to me when I stop
walking, he stares at my face pretty much the entire time
waiting for a command. We have also taught him to
come on command, sit,
lie
down, and settle which means to lay on his side with his
head still on the floor to submit to inspection so that we
can check his paws, nails, ears etc. I have always used to
this as a training tool with my dogs so that in the event
of an injury or for having nails clipped and ears cleaned,
they understand to lie still and not turn their head
toward whatever him doing. This also hopes to build
trust.
We
are working on walking around to the heel position from
sitting in front of me, but this one is always difficult
and will be easier when the weather gets warmer and I can
take him for walks more frequently.
He
has demonstrated an excellent prey drive, very attentive
to wildlife outside such as squirrels and deer. He
has managed to catch and kill two field mice in my front
yard in the last two weeks.
He
is very vocal about his emotions and can be quite a
character -- at least once a day he does something to make
us laugh. If I don't pay attention to his Highness
when I get home from work, he will bark and growl at me to
express his displeasure until I pet him and play with him.
He is very affectionate with both my wife and I and has
shown no overt aggression towards us. Sometimes he
likes to play a little rough but there's nothing unusual
about that, he has a very even temperament but tons of
pride and doesn't like to lose at any game. In
typical Rottweiler fashion, every toy in the house is his
and he will often pile them all up and play amongst them,
not letting our other dog in on the action.
He
has just begun to become protective over our house and us,
he will growl and bark at strangers, but also immediately
recognizes friends and family with a wagging tail.
If I have him out and a stranger approaches, he will
immediately put himself between me and that stranger with
his hip against my leg, hackles and ears up, growling and
looking to me for his next cue -- it's pretty amazing to
watch the evolution of a good guard dog in one so young.
At
the veterinarian he is just great. He likes the
doctor and support staff very much, knowing that they have
dog cookies. He has never so much as let out a
whimper or even turned his head when being given
injections. He is very brave and tries to explore
the entire office when we arrive, he knows they have cats
and loves to chase them around and try to pin them to the
ground with his paws.
His
appetite is always great, in fact he can eat more at one
sitting than our two-year-old 125 pound female mastiff.
He will often eat all of his food and then walk up to
where our female is eating and stand his ground until she
walks away, which she will often do immediately because
she knows he will not give up and end up winning anyway.
We are trying to curb this behavior because he always has
plenty of food in his bowl, she is on daily feedings and
it makes it difficult to know that she's getting enough to
eat if he's stealing food out of her bowl.
Every
where we go, people tell us he's the most beautiful
Rottweiler they've ever seen, and of course I have a
biased opinion, but I think they are right. He has
an exceptional head, good stocky body, huge paws, and a
beautiful face with perfect markings in good pigmentation
in his mouth. I have reviewed many photographs of
his father on the dozens of web sites that feature
pictures of him, and was able to find photographs of Mambo
at four months old. Our Atilla looks very much like
his father, and might even be a bit bigger for his age but
we'll have to see how he turns out as an adult. I
for one believe he will be exceptionally beautiful, large,
and the force to be reckoned with for any fool that
decides to mess with us or our household.
Needless
to say, I am very pleased with our latest addition to our
family and will be coming to you for all of my Rottweiler
puppies in the future. It is probably obvious to you
that I have a type of person that will always have a
Rottweiler in the house.
Thanks
again for everything -- Kevin S. Gavin DPM

I
recently purchased an 8-week old male pup (Redwood Krest's
Shane) from Joeri and Christina. My dealings with
them before, during, and after the sale have been
terrific. They helped me pick out a great pup that
(so far) has been just what I was hoping for. I was
very impressed with the high quality of their dogs, the
accomplishments they have attained, and the care that
Joeri and Christina have given them. It was
difficult to pick my pup because the whole litter looked
good and had great temperaments for their age, but I'm
very happy with my choice so far. Joeri and
Christina spent a LOT of time with me by phone and in
person, and they both showed a high level of commitment
and knowledge.
Thanks
again,

Received Ranger
(Male) & Queen-Nie(Female) from Redwood Krest
Rottweiler Kennel & K9 Center
on 8th January 05
Hi
Joeri & Christina,
Our
2 new puppies arrived 8th January 05. We were
concerned with the long flight (28 hrs) that they might
arrive scared and traumatized, refusing to come out of their
crate. When we picked them up at the airport, I opened
the crate door and they ran out, tail wagging, looking
fresh as ever. All the noise in the airport didn't appear to
bother them at all.
They
are extremely healthy, substantial with strong bone,
large well developed head, excellent temperament & prey
drive. They are the ideal working type.
We
look forward to training them for Obedience, Personal
Protection, Guard Dog & as well as SchH sport ring. They
act like they have lived here all their life. They
naturally seem to like people and they run right up to
them confidently tail wagging high. Every day they seem
to become more of an alligator with those little puppy teeth
and they seem like a bundle of boundless energy. They
naturally seem to go for a full mouth bite when they go
after my hand, arm (or whatever else they are going
after). It's
going to be a real pleasure training and working with these
dogs.
It's
a pleasure dealing with people who are as detailed and
professional as you and Christina. We have had a lot of
questions and everyone seems eager to help.
A
big thanks to Christina for all your help.
Many
thanks,
Kenson

My
name is Kimberly Cardona and I am the breeder for "vom
Drakkenfels" kennels in Central Florida. Recently
I contacted Joeri in regards to not being able to find the
right boy for me. Joeri knows me well from the past
where we have helped each other in many shows. Joeri
told me my search was over...He had a puppy that he felt
would be perfect for me. He was right. Redwood
Krest's Indio arrived in Orlando at 12 mo, we met, and the
rest is history. Indio is a large boy with a lot of
breed type, LOVES to play and loves people. He has
shown in the Nationals, Landesgruppe, and in many other
shows as a Youth and has been
consistently SG rated. My goals with Indio are going
to be challenging but with Joeri to lead the way I think we
can do it. Indio will be working over this coming year
for his Sch1, ZtP and BH, his Can Ch. and if
possible his Int Ch. and points toward his Am Ch.
Thank you soooo much Joeri and Christina for all the support
and guidance as I raise my son. Even after 15 years in
this breed an old dog like me is enjoying learning the new
tricks. /winks at Indio
