As promised, here are a few shots of Hero. He is a
remarkable young pup and has carved out a spot for himself within our
family. We could not be happier with him or with the care and concern
you have expressed from the point of sale to the present.
Nearly all who lay eyes on Hero can't help but comment on
how beautiful he is. They also comment on his open and friendly
demeanor. He carries himself with a friendly and quiet confidence that
speaks loudly of his fine bloodline and careful breeding.
We'll keep in touch and for now send our best regards to
you and your family.
Sincerely,
Ron, Janet and Charis
Hi Joeri and Christina -
About
1 ½ years ago, I was talking to Joeri about possibly buying a puppy from him
as my Rottweiler mix is getting older. He told me about this older dog
he had and asked if I would like to come take a look at him. Ajax, now
called Jager, came home with me that day and it was love at first sight.
I have never owned such a well behaved dog. He is my protector and is
constantly at my side. When we go for walks he gets so many
compliments. I can take him anywhere because he is so well behaved.
He loves to go with me everywhere I go. I also foster dogs so we have
many animals coming and going all of the time. Jager is my alpha dog,
but it so well behaved I never have to worry about him. I highly
recommend Joeri and Christina and Redwood Krest. They are top notch
and breed top notch dogs. Thank you both for a wonderful companion.

Dear
Joeri
and
Christina,
We
would
like
to
thank
you
so
much
for
such
and
outstanding
puppy.
She
has
the
best
temperament
of
most
any
dog
I've
ever
had
seen, much
less
any Rottweiler
I've
ever
owned.
There
is
such
a
noticeable
difference
in
the
quality
of
breeding
to
produce
such
an
outstanding
dog.
So
we
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
code
of
ethics
in
breeding
as
well
as
the
support
you
have
offered
to
us
since
we
have
had
her.
Thanks so much,
Dusty,
LeAnn,
Drew,

Hi Joeri
and
Christina.
Mark and
I wish
to thank
you
again
for
Zidane.
Between
the two
of us we
have
owned 3
Rottweilers
in the
past and
love the
breed.
We had
been
traveling
nurses
for 9
years
and
always
knew
that
when we
settled
down we
would
want
Rottweilers
again.
Well, we
found
our home
in
Vancouver
WA last
summer
and this
spring
decided
to begin
looking
for a
Rottweiler
puppy.
After
doing
some
research
we were
surprised
and
pleased
to find
a world
class
Rottweiler
breeder
only
miles
away
from our
house.
After
speaking
with you
on the
phone
you
invited
us to
visit
your
kennel
the next
day to
view the
3 male
Rottweiler
puppies
you
currently
had for
sale.
The next
day we
arrived
to find
that one
of the
puppies
had
already
been
sold.
After a
couple
of hours
of
viewing
and
playing
with the
2
remaining
puppies,
we
finally
made our
choice
on
Zidane
(thank
you for
your
patience
by the
way). We
are so
happy
that
Zidane
is part
of our
family.
He is so
loving
and well
mannered.
He
already
knew the
command
"sit"
and
quickly
learned
"down,
stay,
come".
Everyone,
friends
and
strangers
alike,
say what
a
handsome
and easy
going
puppy he
is. He
loves
walking
up to
people
and then
sitting
at their
feet
waiting
for them
to pet
him.
Also you
can see
by
looking
at the
photos
that he
is
living
up to
the
reputation
of his
namesake.
We wish
to
obtain a
female
Rottweiler
puppy in
the
future
and
definitely
will be
asking
you
about
your
future
litters.
We will
keep in
touch
and
continue
to send
photos
of
Zidane.
Thank
you,
Daniela
Maerz
and Mark
Moors
Hi Joeri,
I
apologize
for not
ever
emailing
you
before.
I
purchased
a pup
from you
about 2
yrs ago
now,
"Elektra"
I just
have to
tell you
that she
has
turned
out to
be "The
best
damn
Rottweiler
I've
ever
had" She
is good
size,
awesome
drive,
stable
temperament
and SMART.
I am so
pleased
with her
and I
thought
it was
high
time
that I
let you
know.
Thank
you
again
for the
most
wonderful
dog.

Dear Joeri and
Christina,
I have been
meaning to write
you this letter
for a very long
time. And
although I do my
best to keep in
touch and let
you know how
Janosch is
doing, I have
never fully
expressed my
gratitude to you
for selling me
such a wonderful
and awesome dog.
Janosch is truly
one of the most
amazing and
incredible dogs
I have ever
owned. He
will be five
years old in May
and I still
cannot believe
how quickly time
has passed.
From the day I
came to see him
at your kennel,
Janosch stood
out from the
rest. Even
as a puppy, he
was always
amazingly bold
and
self-possessed.
He is
intelligent,
outgoing and
fearless; while
at the same time
sweet and
generous and
extremely
affectionate.
No matter where
we go Janosch
seems to have a
huge fan club
when we leave.
In addition to
his excellent
disposition and
temperament,
Janosch is also
an amazing
athlete. I
hike,
backcountry ski,
ice climb, rock
climb,
mountaineer,
surf and
whitewater raft.
Janosch does it
all with me with
an ease and
grace that
belies his
massive 150 lb.
frame.
This winter we
are working
towards getting
Search and
Rescue
certified.
I hope to get
Janosch
certified in
Avalanche and
Wilderness
Search and
Rescue. If
all goes well, I
will continue
his education
and obtain his
certification as
a Cadaver and
Human Remains
dog. This
is only possible
due to Janosch’s
incredible drive
and
intelligence.
I have been
complimented
again and again
on what a
superior
prospect Janosch
is for SAR work.
Every day I am
so happy and
grateful that
you did such an
amazing job with
Janosch.
I would not
hesitate to
recommend you to
anyone who is
looking for the
best Rottweiler
they can
possibly find,
as I believe you
do breed the
best
dogs anywhere.
Moreover, I
truly appreciate
your honesty and
integrity.
And I have
incredible
respect for your
professionalism
and vast
knowledge of the
breed.
Thank you again
for a wonderful
dog and a
wonderful
experience.
All my best,
Thea Inoue And
Janosch
P.S. And I
know I’ve sent
this to you
before, but
Janosch is on a
climbing
magazine website
as their
“Ambassador”.
Check him out at

(Scroll to the
bottom of the
page.)
Well, I am a
long term owner
of Rotties, over
30
years and have
had a bit of
rough luck with
my boys and
girls in the
last 9 or so
years. I lost my
Hubba Bubba
female to
osteosarcoma,
her "husband "
also to
osteosarcoma and
am currently
battling
lymphoma with
their son. I
called Joeri
about a month
ago, told him my
story and said
when I lose my
current male I
wished to be put
on a list for a
big, beautiful,
bold female from
a working
background. This
is after
researching
breeders
extensively for
over a year. He
said "I have
what you want
right now , " I
turned him down
and said I would
wait until I was
Rottweiller
empty, my plate
was very full.
He said, no
pressure, he
would have a
great puppy for
me when I was
ready. That
lasted 12 hours.
In the morning I
said "send her"
and what a
knockout of a
puppy met me at
the airport.
She's big, she's
bold, she's
beautiful. She
already owns the
house and my
enormous male
Rottie, another
male Akita, and
unfortunately
the cat. I put
her right to
work, the little
devil, she has a
very high drive.
9 weeks old and
she
already knows
"come" to a very
straight sit in
front of me,
"watch me", "no
bite", "load
up"( in the car)
where I give her
fat fanny a lift
up in the car
and "down". She
watches me like
an adult dog and
when I am out of
sight for a
second her nose
hits the ground
and around the
corner she comes
flying.
I have owned
some phenomenal
Rotties and I
can say that I
thought my last
female was the
one I would
always judge
other pups
by, but this
one, she will be
the pup of a
lifetime.
Thank you Joeri
and Christina
and thank you
Xelly and Iago
from the bottom
of my heart. You
bred the perfect
puppy, you
picked me the
perfect puppy
and what can I
say but thank
you.

Flagler Beach,

When I first
started my
search for a
Rottweiler I was
overwhelmed by
all of the
different
websites,
internet ads and
promises of
"great bloodline
from imported
parents". I knew
the type of dog
I wanted and
although
there were a lot
of puppies for
sale out there,
I was not
satisfied with
the overall
quality of the
dogs I saw.
After several
bad experiences
with different
breeders who
were supposed to
have first class
dogs, I was very
leery and
nervous
about finding
the right puppy.
When I found
Joeri and
Redwood Krest
Kennel I was so
excited. Joeri's
dogs had a
consistency of
quality that I
hadn't found in
many other
breeders. Every
one of his dogs
was beautiful.
He really seemed
to hold his
breeding to a
higher standard
and had the type
of Rottweiler
that I had been
searching for.
I was
very leery about
buying a dog
without seeing
the parents and
breeding
facility, but
Joeri's
accomplishments
speak for
themselves and I
took a risk and
bought a male
puppy. This was
a huge step for
me. I was even
more nervous
because I didn't
see a picture of
the puppy before
buying him, but
I trusted
Joeri's
expertise to
pick me out a
puppy suitable
for me. And
although
pictures are
nice to look at,
there is no
comparison with
the breeders
opinion on the
pups.
I
have to say that
the puppy is all
that I asked for
and more. He
arrived to me at
the airport
after traveling
all night across
the US and came
out of the crate
wagging his tail
and licking my
face. No fear or
timidness....
just a big,
happy, healthy
and beautiful
puppy! I am so
glad that I
trusted Joeri
and bought this
puppy. His dogs
truly are
superior and it
really shows
through in the
pups. This puppy
is huge and is
just perfect!
Not just in
looks, but he is
full of energy
and confidence,
but at the same
time sensitive
in a productive
way that makes
him highly
trainable. I am
so excited to
watch him grow,
everyone that
meets him just
loves him and he
is exactly what
had wanted for
so long. I can't
say enough about
this great
little guy. I
will definitely
be coming to
Joeri for my
next pup. Thank
you so much
Joeri!!!

To
Whom It May Concern:
September 2, 2007
My wife, Selene, and I
had heard about Redwood
Krest from our good
friend, Jenelle
Tonini-Zanotto. We had
previously bought Waco,
a male Rottweiler, from
her. Waco’s father was
Maik who was from
Redwood Krest. Waco is a
wonderful and beautiful
male dog with a
sparkling disposition.
We wanted another
Rottweiler like Waco.
One day I called Joeri
about obtaining a dog
from Redwood Krest. I
told Joeri that my wife
and I would be in the
Washington area around
the first week in April
and could we please stop
by and see his kennel.
In the first week of
April we met Joeri at
Redwood Krest. From the
beginning we saw an
assortment of
magnificent dogs that
had the qualities that
we were looking for. We
were so impressed with
the clean and
professional facility,
Redwood Krest.
In May we checked with
Redwood Krest’s website
for females that were
having litters. We found
out that one of Joeri’s
favorite males was Maik.
Unfortunately Maik had
suddenly died so the
chances of getting any
offspring from him would
be very difficult.
In June we got a call
from Joeri and one of
his females had indeed
had a litter with Maik
as the sire. We were
very excited about
getting our new puppy
which arrived a week
later. When we saw her
we knew she was going to
be perfect for our
family. Her name is
“Roxy”, and she became
an instant member of a
family of two
Rottweilers and six
cats. She and Waco
immediately bonded. They
constantly play and
share their lives
together. She gets along
wonderfully with the
neighbors and their
children. She loves
other dogs; and everyone
who meets here realizes
how friendly she is.
I don’t know the precise
qualities that make a
good show dog, but I do
know that she has a
beautiful face and
muscular body structure
that pleases most
people. We are the only
family in our community
that has two
Rottweilers. Many people
have commented how
symmetrical Roxy’s long
tail goes with her body.
The point of this letter
is that Joeri was able
to place us with this
wonderful Rotty that
fits in wonderfully in
our family. She has the
disposition and looks
that we wanted. We
didn’t have to worry
about contracts binding
us into showing Roxy for
a long period of time.
Joeri’s only concern was
that Roxy be placed in a
good home. After having
Roxy in our family for
these few months, we
have decided to show her
in a puppy competition
this fall.
My wife and I stand
behind Joeri and his
beautiful dogs. We
recommend his services
to anyone, and if we
ever need another
Rottweiler, we know that
we would go back to
Joeri and Redwood Krest.
Grant & Selene Denney
Gold River, CA
Joeri
e-mailed me the other
day to check on the new
dog, Roco vom
Brandenburger Tor, that
he imported for us. At
the end of the e-mail he
asked about the
testimonial for his
website we had been
promising to send.
What
can I say? In the time
we have known him, we
have acquired eight dogs
from Redwood Krest; that
should tell you
something.
Every
dog we bought for show
has been V1 rated. The
stud dog we bought has
covered every breeding
and produces exceptional
puppies. The two working
dogs show great
temperament and super
drive on the Schutzhund
field. Yes, it is easy
to say great things
about your breeder when
things work out so well
for you.
What
about when, God forbid,
things don't go so well?
What
happens when your new
Pink Papered, Schutzhund
III, German imported
female dies of an
auto-immune disease?
What happens when your
show prospect puppy's
hips, that prelimed
excellent, turn out to
be dysplastic?
How
many of you would be
happy with your breeder
then?
I
am.
When
these things happened,
Joeri and Christina
stepped up like the
professionals they are
and worked out a deal
where everyone was
happy.
How
many breeders are
willing to go the extra
mile for you?
I
have been around long
enough to tell the real
thing from the kennels
that try to pass off
their poor dealings as,
"That's all you get in
the dog world."
Bottom line, Redwood
Krest is the real thing.
I will be calling Joeri
and Christina when I am
looking for my next dog
too.
Ron Hoselton
After speaking with
Dr. Brian Beard of
Black Onyx
Rottweiler fame
about your kennels.
I was given the
privilege to come
see for myself.
Christina and Joeri
were nothing but
kind to myself and
my wife while we
were there.
As Joeri brought out
dog after dog that
looked like they
were chiseled out of
stone, I got to
witness why RKR is
at the peak of the
Rottweiler World.
It's a simple but
tough formula: hard
work, dedication and
going above and
beyond to meet
client expectations.
When you see 5 week
old pups at RKR as
big or bigger than
most 8-10 week old
pups, you know these
pups were loved and
cared for by the RKR
family.
Joeri's helper (Jagger)
which is his 3 year
old son is showing
the dedication by
helping "Papa" take
care of all the dogs
and his expertise on
leash breaking pups
is a joy to see. It
is heartwarming that
the future guardian
of RKR is already on
the job. And baby
Anais does her share
also in socializing
the pups. They are
brilliant children.
Joeri and Christina
have plenty to be
proud of in their
children.
I was especially
impressed with the
time Joeri took to
show me how to
properly show a dog.
I had talked to many
so-called "top"
Breeders and was
basically told to
take a hike. Not
Joeri. I have came
away from this trip
with more knowledge
on showing and a
chance to win
without a handler.
Thank you for
restoring some lost
confidence.
Of course I left
with my 3rd RKR dog,
Pink Papered German
Import Olli Von
M|hlberg. Trained By
Christina. I am very
excited to have him
and will have
information on my
website soon. I'll
sure be glad when
Joeri breeds Wasko;
my deposit is in
already. Wasko is
the best I've ever
seen. and Quenn and
Quincy are right
there also.
People all I can add
is, if there is any
doubt in your mind
about Import dogs,
don't second guess
yourself. Br
protected by
utilizing the
talents of Joeri and
RKR to fill your
Rottweiler needs.
Kenny and Carla
Austin
PS I look forward to
you coming to see me
in May for some good
ole Southern cooking
while you are in the
area for the USRC
Nationals.
In the pursuit for
looking for a beautiful
Rottie Girl, to own, to
show and to take back
with me to India, after
over twenty enquires to
different people across
the country, my heart
was over-whelmed with
happiness when Joeri
wrote back to me saying
that he knew of a
beautiful girl, though
not presently owned by
him but will suit my
purpose. Without
Christina's and Joeri's
reassurance, positivism
and help I would have
never had this
opportunity to say that
I am a proud Rottie
owner. After
having acquired "Rasha"
and getting into a
rather weird and
helpless situation, it
was Joeri and
Christina's generous
help that helped me take
Rasha home. Though my
only regret is not being
able to own a "REDWOOD
KREST" dog , I'm looking
forward to owning a
REDWOOD KREST boy soon!
Words cannot express how
thankful I am to you.
Redwood Krest will be
my recommendation not
only for great dogs, but
the best breeder-owner
relationship in the dog
world!
Thanks Joeri and
Christina! Without you
Rasha would not have
been possible!

A year ago we
purchased an older
Rottweiler female
from Redwood Krest
kennels. Our first
intention was to buy
a puppy, but Joeri
showed us Opal (aka
Redwood Krest's Loko)
and we felt an
immediate
connection. She has
been a wonderful
addition to our
family. She has a
beautiful body and a
relaxed, confident
attitude. We have 3
other dogs and she
gets along great
with them. Opal is
the alpha dog, but
she never starts a
fight. People can
come over and she is
friendly and usually
places herself
between us and the
guests. If you are
looking for a dog
that is as powerful
as a Rottweiler, you
better buy from a
breeder that knows
what they are doing.
They must breed for
excellent
temperament,
conformation and
working ability. At
Redwood Krest, you
get all of it. Take
a look at the
pedigrees, every dog
has proven itself
for soundness,
correct conformation
and working titles.
These dogs don't
receive these awards
easily. Joeri and
his wife are
no-nonsense people
that breed some of
the world's best
dogs, do your
homework and you
will see.
Thanks,
Mike and Jo

It
is with great honor and
respect that we offer
our endorsement for
Redwood Krest Rottweiler
Kennel. We have
become very close
friends with Joeri
and Christina since
2001, as they display a
profound knowledge and
passion on the
remarkable breed of
Rottweilers.
Although I originally
pursued interests in
Rottweilers back in 1989
while working at Banta’s
Kennels in Southern
California, I have
decided that it is time
to seek our dogs of the
future. Recently,
we have been able to
launch back into our
joined passion for
Rottweilers with our
recent addition in June
2006 with
RedwoodKrest’s
Emmi. Emmi is
a beautiful female with
an excellent
temperament and
remarkable drive.
She has placed in the
top 3 at recent USRC
shows across the
country, and often
pushing V1. Our
latest addition, highly
recommended from Joeri
and Christina, is by far
a rising champion,
Redwood Krest’s Mick.
From the moment I
brought Mick home, he
has displayed his desire
to work and always being
calm and attentive.
Attendance at his first
show in July 2007 in
Calgary, Canada, proved
to be a rewarding one -
not only did Mick win
Best Male Puppy, but he
also won this
prestigious title twice
in the same weekend.
Our two Rottweiler
additions were solely
based on Joeri’s
recommendations – a man
of ethics, loyalty and
an overwhelming concern
for his dogs and the
families he places them
with. We not only
highly recommend Redwood
Krest Rottweiler Kennel,
but we are and will
continue to be one of
their customers.

Joeri
Goerdertier and Redwood Krest
Rottweilers have been
successfully training and
competing with my rottweilers
world wide and nationally and
have taken them to
their numerous winnings multiple
Siegerins, Sieger, World Show
winning, youth Siegerins, best
puppy titles as well as multiple
working titles as Schutzhund,
IPO, Körung, breedtests
etc. for about eight years. I
have always been very proud of
my dogs levels of success's
under Joeri's management. Joeri
also imported and competed with
my most famous rottweiler and
notibly one of America's most
famous imports Andro von der
Lauterbrücke.
I feel very fortunate to have
such a knowledgable handler and
confidant
in the breed.
This is the Reids
. We bought Redwood Krest's Lars
from you last year in Nov. Well we
just want you to know that he has
turned out to the greatest pup on
this earth. We are so happy with
him, his call name is Jack and he
just loves to be loved. He turns 10
months next month and getting big. I
think his head is growing faster
than the rest of him.
Thank you once
again, Jack has put what was missing
in our lives after Jake passed away
last year. I think there is a little
of our old dog in Jack.
Thanks,

Dear Joeri and Christina!
A huge thanks for the wonderful dogs that we purchased from
you in the first half of 2007: REDWOOD KREST'S TOMBA, REDWOOD KREST'S OTTO,
REDWOOD KREST'S JOSY and REDWOOD KREST'S LUKA. A special thanks goes out for
Tomba. During the 4 months that he lives in our kennel he's taken the following
titles: Champion of Kazakhstan, Champion of UCK, CACIB(FCI), Candidate to the
Club Champion, IPO-1. He's also already become the father of wonderful puppies
born in Kazakhstan. We wish the best of luck to you and your kennel! Thanks a
lot!
Mr. Victor and Olga Preference
Rottweiler kennel "Priirtyshe"
Pavlodar, Kazakhstan.
We are writing to tell you how
happy we are with our new
Rottweiler, Redwood Krest’s
Spike. From the minute we
brought him into our home at 11
weeks old he has amazed us with
his intelligence and
temperament. He arrived
on Saturday and by Sunday
afternoon he understood and
obeyed Sitz and Hier. By
Tuesday, he obeyed Platz.
He is energetic, loves searching
for hidden toys and treats and
displays a calmness that
astounds everyone we meet.
When Spike was 12 weeks old we
took him to see a fireworks show
on the Fourth of July and he
enjoyed every second of it.
He sat quietly and calmly while
looking up at the fireworks and
after about twenty minutes, he
fell asleep. That’s right;
he fell asleep during a
fireworks show. If that
doesn’t show a calm and
confident temperament, I don’t
know what does. Spike has
also made fast friends with our
two cats and we couldn’t be
happier about that.
Spike also has a soft spot for
children and has quickly become
a Rottweiler ambassador to the
neighborhood. Our
neighbor’s children love playing
with Spike and he has enjoyed
romping with kids at pool
parties. The running kids,
loud noises and splashing water
have no effect on him other than
total happiness.
All
of the dog owners in our
neighborhood are utterly amazed
that Spike is so well behaved
and confident. Thanks to
the advice and training that you
gave us on positive
reinforcement and clicker
training, we have very much
changed the negative opinion
that several of our neighbors
had about the Rottweiler breed.
They are stunned by the level of
focus and stability that Spike
displays during training.
Spike is truly a special dog and
we feel like we are the luckiest
people in the world for having
him.
We researched breeders for over
year and made many phone calls
and inquiries. We knew we
had found the right breeder
after one phone call to Redwood
Krest because you didn’t try to
sell us a dog! You told us
to go everywhere else and look
at every breeder we could find
and compare their dogs to yours.
We did exactly that never found
what we were looking for.
We have had the benefit of
spending time with you in your
home, playing with your children
and seeing your dogs up close.
We have been impressed since day
one. Spike is a far better
testament to your knowledge and
skill than anything we could
write here and we thank you
every day for giving him to us.
We look forward to working with
you in the future.
Sincerely,
Jim and Mindy Windrem

IRONBACK
ROTTWEILERS would like to thank
Joeri and Christina for importing an
excellent 10 month old female for
our kennel. This female is
much more than how Joeri described
her to us over the phone.
Likewise, we at IRONBACK KENNELS
would like to send a very special
thanks to Joeri and Christina for
their excellent, and professional,
business sense. For instance,
I bought this female at about 12:00
noon on a Thursday via credit card
over the phone, and I received the
dog around 7:00pm, the same day.
Joeri and Christina are in
Washington, and we are in Sacramento
Ca, and we received our dog in less
than 12 hours. Everything Joeri said
about the dog was true, by this I
mean he honestly stated what he did
and did not like about the bitch,
and to my surprise, he was on point.
The bitch was too
young to have a hip cert., but he
did x-ray her hips, and he said they
where good. However, I've
dealt with many of other breeders
that have lied about their
dogs. So I took the dog in and
x-rayed her for myself, and her hips
at this point, would be considered a
good. I'm waiting on my
import paper work (from
VDH in Germany) and Joeri
said it may take up to three months,
and I believe I will receive my
paperwork within that time frame.
Again, I would like to thank Joeri
and Christina for my wonderful dog,
and an excellent, and speedy
business transaction.
Just wanted to write and let you know how much I
enjoyed my visit last weekend. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality
of your dogs , not only temperament but also structure. I know that says a
lot coming from an "AKC" guy, but I can honestly say that you guys have a
true eye for structure and the majority of your dogs would do very well in
AKC Conformation. I anxiously await the day the AKC clubs soften their
stance on tails and quality German dogs can be shown in an unbiased venue in
AKC. When that day comes, I see many Redwood Krest AKC Champions on the
horizon. Of course with all of the titles your dogs already have, maybe that
makes an AKC title unnecessary ? It would however make them more accessible
to the AKC breeders which would absolutely benefit from the German head
type.
I have never seen so many nice European dogs in
one place. I love to visit Europe and look for new dogs to Import, but I
think from now on I will let you handle that for me. You are able to get
dogs that I could never get and have no idea where to find them. I am very
excited about using Quincy and also the young male, "Wasko", you showed me
pictures of that is still in Germany. I think both have a lot to offer my
AKC Champion girls and maybe the combination will give me what i am looking
for in that German "type" and temperament that the American dogs lack. And i
feel my girls will only strengthen the structure these beautiful German boys
will bring. I believe the future looks very bright for both of us.
I also wanted to thank you for the hospitality
you showed while at your place. It was so nice being picked up at the
Airport, shuttled around, and treated like royalty. Although we had never
met, you both made me feel totally comfortable in your home and a friendship
was formed that will remain. Redwood Krest is a first Class operation from
the owners, to the quality of dogs, as well as the living conditions for the
dogs. I got some really good ideas on kennel set-up that I hope to implement
very soon as well as supplements, meds, etc. I have always heard that in
"big" operations the dogs do not get needed attention and lack proper care.
It was so refreshing to see the condition of your dogs, their happy
attitudes, and the large fenced in area they have to play in. I also enjoyed
the visit to your Veterinarian with my 2 new girls Grafin and Frida, and how
no dog leaves for it's new home without a thorough checkup--heart, eyes,
patellaes, etc. I was overwhelmed when I saw the Redwood Krest file the Vet
brought into the treatment room with her, it was HUGE and must have been 6
inches thick. It gave me the peace of mind knowing that your dogs visit the
Vet on a regular basis for check-ups, etc and she actually did know my 2
dogs and quoted things about their last visits. I knew right then that I was
very comfortable doing business with you guys and that anything and
everything was open for discussion, nothing hidden when it comes to the
health of the dogs I was purchasing.
Please let me know as soon as you get Wasko in
from Germany. Maybe that will give me another excuse to fly back to Portland
!!
Thanks again for everything
Sincerely
Brian Beard,D.M.D.

Joeri and Christina,
I just want to thank you for everything you did to make the
breeding between Iago and Vallie possible. In the 20 years that I have been
breeding I have never delt with anyone as wonderful as the two of you.
You were gracious and professional from the first time we
met. When I needed you to send semen airport to airport two times (in the middle
of the night) you went out of your way to accommodate me. When we lost the
puppies from the first breeding and you offered me a second breeding I was
overwhelmed.
So many stud dog owners are only interested in receiving the
stud fee- they really don't seem to care whether or not the bitch gets
pregnant.You were just the opposite, you wanted puppies as much as I did.
I am so happy with the quality puppies I have from Iago I
would like to repeat the breeding. These are truly some of the nicest puppies I
have ever bred.
I am so glad we met and hope that our relationship remains
strong for years to come. These puppies should make us both proud and glad we
were able to work together.
If there is anything I can ever do to help you out, please
don't hesitate to call; and if you ever need a reference for anything, don't
hesitate to use my name.
Thanks again,
Lois Montgomery

Redwood Krest's
Lasco was imported from the famous
Redwood Krest Rottweiler Kennel,
Washington State, USA. Lasco is the
first Rott.
import in the Republic of Cyprus
from the USA. At the age of 5
months, as shown in the pictures, he
looks a very promising male with
excellent pigmemantation and dark
eyes. He also has a very strong
head, strong pasterns and well
formed legs. His newly grown teeth
are in correct position with good
scissor's bite. He has good coat and
correct mahogany markings.
Thank you Joeri for trusting us
Lasco and letting him come to
Cyprus. I assure you he will have a
great career on the Island.
Your friend and admirer,
Savvas.
Joeri – Kimba is amazing (Hero x
Lilly)! After a plane ride
from Pacific Northwest to the
Southeast she popped
out
of the kennel, looked around for
a second, found BJ and hopped at
him. She was ready to work.
Kimba is showing signs that she
could develop into a great
worker. We are very impressed
with her bone, drive and
potential confirmation; but I’m
equally impressed w/ the
breeder. You didn’t have
to call and follow up on the
puppy days after Kimba was
shipped to Georgia. That
phone call was a testament to
your commitment to your product
and to the breed.
BJ and I will keep you up to
date on her working progress
(and titles!). We also
look forward to working w/ you
again in the future. You and
your wife made this a seamless
process. It was a pleasure doing
business with you and we look
forward to working with you
again soon.
I included a few photos of Kimba
for you. We’ll send you
regular updates on her progress.
If anyone asks for a reference
on puppies you sold. You can
give them my or BJ’s name and
number.

3 years ago I started a search
for the perfect Rottweiler pup.
Second best was not good enough
for me, I wanted the best. A
breeder friend of mine told me
to check out Redwood Krest. I
talked with Joeri and Christina
for over two hours on the first
call. I carefully told them
exactly what I wanted in a
Rottie pup. At first the thought
of someone else picking out my
pup for me didn't settle well.
(I've been breeding Rotts for 20
years.) After taliking with them
I knew that I had no need to
worry. I then waited for another
two years for that perfect pup
and it was worth every minute of
the wait. Redwood Krest's Bixi
Belle arrived in Atlanta Jan 06
and my life has been filled with
joy since. Joeri and Christina
picked the perfect puppy for me.
She meets all of my
expectations. 'B.B.' is one year
old now and I can find no falut
with her. She is loyal, has a
great tempermant......very good
with children, travels well and
is easily trained. I could not
ask for a more perfect puppy.
Don't hesitate to let them pick
out your pup.......they know
what they are doing and do it
the best. I am so thankful that
I chose to be patient and wait.
Thank You Joeri and Christina.
You listened to me and chose 'B.B.'
for me.........what a blessing.
Can't say Thanks enough. God
Bless you.

Senoia, Ga
We purchased a dog from you in August
of 2005. His name was Romeo. We have
since renamed him "Hero". He is a
wonderful dog. He has worked out
perfectly for our family. He is kind,
attentive, and (of course) protective.
He keeps strangers at bay, but once we
have allowed someone into our home he is
a perfect dog.We get complemented all
the time about his look and his
temperment. Thank you again for a
fantastic dog.

To Fellow Rottweiler Lovers,
Last December 29th we
had to make the heartbreaking decision
to put down our beloved male Rottweiler
Adel. Adel was our friend and companion
for over 14 years and we miss him. He
was a fine example of the breed with
wonderful character and temperament.
Months passed and we
soon realized that our home was missing
the companionship and love that Adel
lived to provide.
When my wife asked
"will you please find us another
Rottweiler like Adel?, I quickly told
her that no two Rotts are exactly the
same. She promised to remember this and
our search began.
Having owned and
lived with Rottweilers for many years,
we knew the qualities that we wanted in
our next puppy. Our challenge was to
find a breeder that could provide the
special puppy we were seeking.
In our search, we
spoke to many breeders. While many
breeders were waiting to hear the
correct words from us, we were also
waiting to hear the correct words from
them.
Within 5 minutes of
our first conversation, we knew we had
found an extremely knowledgeable and
dedicated breeder in Joeri. We found
Joeri to have a down to earth, no
nonsense philosophy about Rottweilers.
Please take the time
to read Joeris' interview and goals
pages on RKR's website.
When Joeri called us
and told us he had a puppy for us, we
were very excited. We of course asked
all about the puppy and Joeri, in his
way just said "yeah, he is a good
puppy". An understatement as it turned
out.
Redwood Krest's Djuke
is everything we wanted in our puppy.
Djuke possesses all the correct drives
and has an outstanding temperament. He
is excelling on the Shutzhund field and
his prey drive is through the roof. The
experienced trainers and handlers in our
Shutzhund club are very impressed with
him. Although his drives are high, he is
a pleasure to have in our home and has
fit into our routine very nicely. He is
a very calm confident youngster. He
truly is the smartest dog I have ever
owned and learns his lessons at an
astounding rate. I look forward to
working with him everyday. He is also
quite handsome!!!
Owners and
prospective owners of Rottweilers must
always remember that we, along with our
dogs, are representatives of the breed.
We owe it to this breed to strive to
keep the correct temperament and drives
in place. We can without reservation
recommend Joeri and Christina at Redwood
Krest to all that are seeking a true
Rottweiler. We will be purchasing
another puppy from RKR in the near
future.
Joeri and Christina,
thank you for taking your responsibility
in breeding these great animals so
seriously. You're the best!!!
