Black Ives De' Von Belgian Malinois
ABOUT US We are a small hobby kennel in Modesto, California that breeds on a limited basis, usually a litter a year. 
We are active in conformation showing (AKC, German ring, & International ring) Schutzhund (a three-phase dog sport consisting of tracking, obedience, and protection work), and have trained three police K-9's.

We are also involved in dog carting and hope to start herding in the near future.  We breed with the purpose of ONE dog being able to do all of the above and more! 
The Rottweiler is a true working dog, and it is our goal to keep them that way.

At Black Ives we believe that the Rottweiler does NOT fit most "family pet" type situations.
A Rottweiler with true Rottweiler temperament is strong in both body and mind and does not do well with an occasional toss of the ball with little to no other types of social activity.

This breed needs a job and needs to be able to THINK, to work things out and problem-solve. If you aren't able to give your Rottweiler this, the odds are good that he'll do it for himself, and you probably won't like the results. 

The statement "not the dog for everybody" is an UNDERSTATEMENT when it comes to the Rottweiler.  That being said please enjoy our page :-)
