Welcome to Vom Windywoods Rottweilers, 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. Shortly there after I began to look for another Rottweiler for myself. I looked at several litters over a long period of time. I saw some beautiful puppies but they lacked the working temperament. I realized that most people were breeding only for conformation and not temperament. I then had a friend import a Hungarian Rottweiler for me. I got her as a young puppy. She was a beautiful Rottweiler with a great temperament. After seeing the difference in this puppy and the others I had looked at it was clear,  Vom Windywoods Rottweilers would be about combinding temperament and conformation to produce the true Rottweiler.  We only breed European lines and produce only one to two litters per year.  Feel free to contact me or come check us out and you too will see the difference.
