Our Kennel Story

Welcome to the Frontier Rottweiler & Shiba Inu web page.
We have a reputation for highly intelligent dogs with wonderful family dispositions!

I purchased my first Rottweiler in 1985 Cherich's Annie's Magic (Ch Eiko v Schwaiger Wappen CDX, Sch III X Majorhausen's Be My Destiny CD. I showed Magic just a few times. This was my introduction to dog showing and at our second show she won reserve to a major at just 7 months old! Unfortunately Magic developed a wry bite and was no
longer showable.

I was bitten by the "show bug" and in 1988 purchased my second Rottweiler: Shadowhaus' Classic Starr ( Ch Concord's Justin Bear X Ch Midnight Magic v Shadowhaus) Starr was to become the foundation for Frontier. Starr dislocated her hip that first winter and never moved well
enough afterwards to show well, but she produced 3 lovely litters for us.

From our "A" litter Starr gave us Frontier Avalon Angelica HICs, CGC OFA Good (sired by Gladlea's Senator of Apoldo a CH Radio Ranch's Axel von Notara son) a
small but beautifully moving bitch with a super sweet disposition.

From our "C" litter Starr gave us "Molly" officially known as V rated Frontier Cache Creek Cadence CGC, TT, OFA good ( sired by Banta's Ransom v Merkur a son of V-1 rated Merkur v Bayernland SCH III, FH, Gekort Biz EZA)

Baron

Angelica produced 3 litters for us. From her first, the "D" litter ,came Frontier Dawson Creek Driftr OFA cardiac, OFA excellent (sired by Banta's Desko v Barry a son of V-1 rated Barry v Hertener Wappen SCH 3, AD) "Baron" was our first OFA excellent!

"E" litter Frontier Enchanted Elisha HICs OFA good (sired by Frontier Crown Prince Apollo ) was our first Herding Instinct Certified Rottweiler, though her mother passed later that same day!

The "F" litter (sired by Frontier Samson v Rogue River CGC a son of A/C CH Pioneer's DJ Star Stuben CD) Produced another OFA excellent Frontier Fortune Hunter.

and another Herding Instinct Certified bitch Frontier Fiona The Beautiful.

Molly produced 3 litters for us. From her first the "G" litter, came Frontier Gustafs Blitzkrieg, sired by Pioneer's Remington's Rule (Can Ch Ruben X CH Pioneer's Ingar v Krahn)"Gus" was born with a 1/2 length tail requiring only a little be docked.

"H" litter (6 girls) sired by our Frontier Dawson Creek Driftr (named above), from which came "Xena" (Frontier Highland Breeze HICs, OFA excellent, DNA profiled) who was herding instinct certified at only 8 months old.

"I" litter sired by CH Loral's Buffalo Bill TT ( CH Jade Hagen Kodiak CDX X CH Von Whelan's Belaire v Tobant CD) From which came our boy "Bill" (Frontier I Ask, Who's Next? HICs, TT, OFA Good,OFA Cardiac, CERF,DNA profiled ) shown here as a baby.

Xena produced our tragic "J" litter from which the lovely and HIGHLY intelligent "Darla" (VP Frontier Justagenius Darla) survived. Darla was loved, spoiled, trained and taken on many adventures until she died at 14 months old, from the SAS she was born with.

Our Shiba Inu involvement began in 1995 when I picked up a shiba pup for a friend and kept her for a few months before shipping her. Our first shiba was Frontier Tomas Fox (sired by Yuniku's Andy of Loudon )who was a beautiful dog but terribly shy. He hated showing-but won 3 reserves anyway. Tomas loved to be in the house and loved constant attention so we felt it in his best interest to find him a great home where he could be pampered and so we placed him in a pet home with 2 other shibas where he is very happy!

Our next show shibas were 1/2 sisters (sired by CH Imprints Dagen of Red Imps) Frontier December Midnight we raised on a bottle after her dam died. She was major pointed when we discovered that her patellas would not pass OFA and she was placed into a loving pet home where she is a spoiled Queen of her domain!

Frontier Killian's Red CERF, OFA fair earned 11 points and both majors handled by 7 year old Stacia. Killian is now retired to a loving pet home.

Killian produced 2 litters for us. The Star Trek litter (sired by CH Tanasea's The Road Master) produced our Frontier Trouble W Tribbles DNA profiled, CERF,OFA excellent.

The Highlander litter (sired by our Windsong Valentine to Frontir CGC) produced Frontier There Can Be Only One. “Duncan” is now living with former wild animal trainer Jan Naud and has become a trick performing demo dog and has helped raise a baby tiger!!

Our black & tan male,"Riker" (Windsong Valentine To Frontir CGC, DNA profiled, CERF, OFA good sired by Robmar Hiroshi) is our clicker trained dog extrordinaire. Riker earned 18 points (including 1 major) towards his AKC championship, and has mostly retired from formal showing. He comes out periodically to show in Jrs and the occasional show with our daughter Stacia

Cortez

Tribble produced the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame litter (sired by CH Tanasea's Yankee Clipper). This litter of four included "Cortez" (Frontier John Henry CERF)

We breed on a very limited basis with our bitches only having a maximum of 3 litters before retiring.

Our goal is to breed dogs that with proper upbringing and training will be able to participate in any activity their owners desire. We also have a good record for producing good hips- just ask us for current stats.

Temperament, intelligence and health are our #1 priorities. Most of our dogs are sold to families so stable temperaments are very important. Our dogs are only sold to approved homes with references.

We have always been available to give advice and educate new people about Shibas and Rottweilers and we hope that through the information and links on this site that we'll be able to help and inform more people about the virtues, needs and downfalls of our beloved dogs.
