Welcome to Windywoods K9, my name is Andy Larrimore. My interest in the Rottweiler began when I was a teenager. In 1996 I went into the United States Marine Corps. My first duty station was the USS Nimitz (CVN 68). While being out to sea my wife would send me books and magazines about Rottweilers and dog training. In 1997 I received new orders and went to the Marine Corps Anti-Terrorism Team located in Yorktown, Virginia. Now that I was no longer stationed on a ship I purchased my first Rottweiler. I then met Brad Churchill who was a Navy K9 handler/trainer on the base. We became friends and started training dogs together. He taught me about the different drives of dogs and taught me how to decoy. I learned to teach basic and advanced obedience, tracking, detection, building search, and bite work. I gained a wealth of knowledge from him. In April of 2000 I departed the Marine Corps as a sergeant and moved back to Maryland. In July of 2000 I began my law enforcement career. In December of 2000 I started Windywoods K9. In 2001 I began to look for another Rottweiler for myself. I looked at several litters and saw some beautiful puppies but they lacked the working temperament. I realized that most people were breeding only for conformation and not work. I then had a friend import a Hungarian Rottweiler for me (Rott-Berger Xena). I got her as a young puppy. She was a beautiful Rottweiler with great drives. After seeing the difference in this puppy and the others I had looked at it was clear, Windywoods K9 would not only be about training dogs, but about producing a Rottweiler with strong drives and the overall working temperament. This is our number one goal at Windywoods K9.  I currently serve as a police K9 handler utilizing a Rottweiler that is certified in patrol and narcotics detection. I have also become a certified police K9 instructor and have been recognized as an expert witness in court for K9. Feel free to contact me or come check us out and you too will see the difference.
