Welcome to Cammcastle Rottweilers!

It is a pleasure sharing some history and photos that tell the story. My first Rottweiler, Bear (Ch. Der Schatten vom Bar CD), provided an intense and rigorous crash course experience in understanding and managing an incredibly intelligent and challenging dog. But his unique traits and loyal, protective manner led me to this 20+  year affair I have with the Rottweiler.

In 1988, my search for a foundation bitch led me to Peter and Marilyn Piusz of Seren Rottweilers, and I thank them today for Zanne. She was not only my foundation bitch, but she was an extraordinary Rottweiler - a giant in confidence, intelligence, and enthusiasm.

This site is dedicated to her, Ch. Seren's Just Dazzlling Zanne, CDX, CGC, TDI. She became an American Rottweiler Gold Dam, a member of the Medallion Rottweiler Club Hall of Fame, a recepient of the CRC Bronze Achievement Award, the 1996 CRC Brood Bitch winner, and a two time Dog World Award winner. Even now, 18 years and five generations later, I momentarily mistake the expression or gesture of one of my dogs for Zanne herself.  Her structure, temperament, spirit, and heart have transcended even her progeny's progeny.

Enjoy the site.  You will find a number of accomplished Rottweilers in obedience, agility, and conformation - but that is due largely to the quality people who have given each of these dogs an enriched life and great opportunities. You will also find many Rottweilers who are strictly companions, and in their lives away from the camera, prefer sailing, hiking, swimming in the family lake, and even, in one case, shooting pool!
