Here is a picture of what we try to produce in every litter.

We have the most sought after working  bloodlines in our kennels and the Rottweiler Breed.

Welcome to Gold Hill Rottweiler Kennels, I am Lisa Kemp. My husband and I live in Gold Hill NC, on a 35 acre spread. All of our animals are part of our family and we are very dedicated to them. Most of our breeding dogs come from Europe and are picked for their awesome temperaments, beauty, health history and world class pedigree. My dogs are workers here at the house and are with me throughout the day and spend their days running in the yard, laying in the grass or following me around in the yard and in the woods behind the house. My dogs are a part of my everyday activities and on the weekends we take them out swimming or to the parks where they are exposed to a lot of people and sounds. People are always amazed at how well behaved & social my dogs are. They love children, other dogs and animals and are confident in many situations. Much of this comes from correct training, but a strong, confident and sound temperament is also part of a history of excellent breeding and selection. We don't just look at a dogs looks or pedigree when deciding on breeding, the dog MUST  have a sound temperament.. Finding appropriate and loving homes for our puppies is very important. Our dogs are raised to be loving and loyal family companions.  Our puppies have extraordinary looks with large bone and a big head with lots of expression and intelligence. They are what a true Rottweiler is meant to be...
Each of my dogs is given individual attention, care, exercise and training. Early stimulation and continued socialization are very important to the mental development of puppies. My Puppies are handled the day they are born, and we socialize them with new smells and noises throughout their time here. During this time they are closely monitored to make sure that each puppy is getting the attention that they need to develop properly and also that they all have equal opportunity to mother's milk.  We also tend to bottle feed them for extra socializing and handling. They get tons of attention  from our nieces and nephews and grandchildren when they come to visit. At the age of 4 to 5 weeks old, the puppies are taken on short outings where they learn to follow and come when called.  Rottweilers naturally have a strong temperament and early training definitely makes a difference in their life. It is very important that obedience training is continued when the puppies go to their new homes. There are no "bad dogs," only those that are inappropriately placed and raised. I try to get to know each puppy individually and so that I can recommend them to a home that will be a good match with their individual personalities. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.

For me, breeding Rottweilers is my passion, but it was not to be entered into lightly. I searched for the right female when I was able to buy my first Rottweiler. I found a female and named her Shadow, and she was my shadow. She went with me everywhere and was an exceptional girl and she was my protector and best friend. She was friendly, but didn't make friends right away, she was the wait and see type, she would always look at me for an assurance that everything was okay....a true Rottweiler.  But if it wasn't she was very confident to do something about it.  When she was older she got more and more protective of me and love to be at my side every second. Shadow had dogs like Gameguards, Allgauer, Ironwoods, in her lines.  She was truly my best friend and she taught me what loyalty and love truly was.  She was a friend to the end. She chose not to die in my arms like I wanted her to, I wanted her to know that I was there for her also. but she wouldn't do it. She lived out an ripe old age of 12 years old with no health problems what so ever. She was a very healthy girl. I still miss her dearly and will never forget her. She will be in my heart forever. With Shadow I searched for the right male with a great bloodline to breed her to. I came across a police officer who had a working dog on the police force named Herr Beau Von Kleinburg and that is how I got my Weaver's Bad Boy, and he was an extraordinary dog.

With any working breed it is important to temperament test and pay close attention to each individual puppy as they are growing. A puppy with extreme working drives is rarely suitable for the typical family home. This type of a dog will require A LOT of stimulation, exercise and training. If they do not receive this type of care they will often develop habits such as chewing, digging or generally being a nuisance. This is not a "bad dog", it is a dog that has been bred for a purpose and when not given a job, they will find their own. A pup with extreme drives will do best in a working or show home where they will be fulfilled and can really shine. A puppy with lower drives and a calm and relaxed personality will be an excellent pet for children and typical family living.
