Top Line Rottweilers has two kennel locations based in Northern California. In Greenwood, Ca just out of Placerville is where we perform the breeding and birthing portion of our operation. Our main office is in Carmichael, Ca. and this is where we handle our administrative actions for the business.

From an incredibly young age living in Placerville California, I remember my parents talking about getting a family dog. I never thought in those moments that their choice would shape my future as it did. My parents picked a dog that my brothers and I wouldn’t have ever expected, but at the time we were so excited that we honestly could care less of the breed.

When they came home with our first rottweiler Ivanhoe, I have memories of how I felt when I saw him. He was adorable and looked like a little black and brown ball of fluff. My dad believed in buying the best dogs from reputable breeders, so he turned to Betty Burden of Vom Hognadottir in Pilot Hill, California.  What is amazing is that she is still in the same location and doing the same great work after all these years.

The dog was perfect, had a great temperament and was healthy for its entire life. He was easy to train and bonded quickly with everyone in the family. That’s where it all started, and my passion turned into a business that brings me excitement and joy. There is nothing better than when I am training my dogs or am at a show winning an award.
