I cannot say enough good things about Black Bear Rotties (Ashlea, Justin and family), or our puppies (now just a little over one year).  

As far as the business side of things, Ashlea is extremely professional.  All of the paperwork, from the contract to how to pay the deposit and final payment, to the paperwork we received when we picked them up, was all very well organized.  We received the shot records, AKC paperwork, etc. in a nice, neat folder.  To some people it’s no big deal, but for me it just was a nice touch and a comfort knowing that it was all so “put together”.

We actually have two puppies (siblings), a male and a female.  They are awesome dogs.  We have had no issues (other than normal puppy stuff!) with them.  Their health has been perfect, with no issues whatsoever.  We had our female spayed after one heat, as it was quite a challenge to keep them apart during her heat.  Even that went smoothly, and she was running around after a couple days.  Other than that, we’ve had no reason to take either of them to the vet other than for vaccinations.

We have them both in obedience classes, which gives them socialization with other dogs.  They both interact well with other dogs, and we’ve had no issue in that regard as well.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ashlea, and our new babies.  We’ve always had two dogs; one had passed away in June, then the other in September of 2015.  We went about a year with no dogs in our household and just felt like the house was empty.  We looked around and did a ton of research before picking Black Bear Rotties.  It was the best decision we could have made.  We absolutely love our puppies and cannot imagine life without them.  They bring us joy every day!  They’ve got phenomenal personalities.  With them being a male and female, they have distinctive personalities but both are lovable, happy and healthy!

As you can tell, I’m full of praises!  I highly recommend Black Bear Rotties!!

Koda

We absolutely adore our Black Bear Rottie, "Effortlessly Elegant Vom Black Bear" (aka Koda)! She has been the most wonderful addition imaginable to our family.  Koda is playful, loving, and incredibly intelligent...she's so trainable! She truly has the most endearing disposition. Koda also carries the most beautiful physical Rottweiler traits.  We've never had so many compliments on any dog we've owned! Ashlea was fantastic to work with thoughout the process, and you can tell how much pride she and Justin take in their Rottweiler breeding.  It is obvious from the moment you pick up your pup how much love they've been given in the Brown home.  We've owned many purebred dogs over the past 20 years, and Black Bear Rotties is far and away the best breeder we've experienced! Thank you Black Bear Rotties for our sweet baby Koda!

Rico

Enjoyed my experience with Black Bear Rotties from start to finish. They produce some great pups and have some very beautiful dogs. When I started my search I knew exactly what I was looking for and when I came across them on the net they had it. I went for a visit and the dogs only got better in person. Saw a litter of pups on my visit and was sold immediately. Haven't had any problems so far to date and my little guy Rico, he is 5 months as of 5/24/17. Would do it all again with them great breeder.

Nico

Hi, my name is Robert Brown and I highly recommend Black Bear Rotties. They were always straight forward with me transparent. Justin and Ashlea are very well informed about the Rottweiler and answered every question I had. This is not my first Rottie so I consider myself fairly knowledgeable so I was pretty impressed with the Brown's. They were very welcoming when we arrived at their home and didn't have a problem showing us around outside or inside where their whelping pens are. All in all I had wonderful experience from the beginning of the process until the end when we brought home our puppy. Nico is 3 months old now and very healthy. Thanks for everything Justin and Ashlea and God bless.

Akiak

Black Bear Rottweilers is great to work with!  Gorgeous dogs, well bred, and I couldn't be happier with my rottie. My vet doesn't appreciate rotties, but she loves Akiak (my rott). I always get compliments on her looks.  Of course, looks are not everything. Her temperament is excellent too, with everyone.  Smart too!  Easy to train. I can't say enough about her and her breeding!  Black Bear is awesome. I extensively searched Maryland for a good breeder, and they really stand out. Good quality dogs, honesty, and integrity -- what more could you ask for?

Blue

I wanted to respond and send you an update on Blue.  He is maturing into a great dog.  He is quite head strong, but also a sweetheart.  We had to bring him for professional training to help him along, but he is getting there, and loves to be with us.  He does not have to be crated when we leave or go to bed, but he will steal something when he wants your attention.
He is about 115 lbs of pure muscle, and extremely playful.  He loves his baths, and blow drying, which is really funny!  We are always complimented on how beautiful he is, and we are very lucky to have him.  We have, and will recommend you to other dog lovers!  Thank you, and be well!

For the past 15 years my home has always been blessed with a Rottie.  They are by far the best breed! I had a very negative experience with a prior breeder and after some extensive research to find my new addition I came across Black Bear Rotties website and was blown away by the beauty of their babies. I contacted them and was immediately contacted back by Ashlea.  This was back in October of 2015.  Ashlea informed me that they had a litter ready to go to their homes and I was invited to come see the pups and meet parents.  Once I arrived I was sold the minute I stepped out of the car.  From the wiggly nubby butts to their puppy kisses who wouldn’t be.  My two daughters and I were welcomed and allowed to interact with the parents.  After I finally pried myself away to leave I contacted Ashlea to put my deposit on a baby girl from an upcoming litter.  Throughout the whole process Ashlea was in constant contact providing updates and then I received the best email that the litter was born on April 5, 2016.  The next 8 weeks literally took FUREVER to pass but I received updated pictures on a regular basis, so it did help a little.  The pick-up process was a breeze and Ashlea was so organized with all of the paperwork ready to go.  Bindi McKenzie is now 15 months old and I couldn’t have asked for a better fur child.  She has the best temperament and is so playful always having a toy, ball, or stick in her mouth ready for some fetch.  Complete attention seeker and cuddle bug.    Always eager to please and super smart!  If you are looking for a quality addition to your family than look no further as you have come to the right place.  Ashlea and Justin are exceptional when it comes to all aspects of the process and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.  Best Breeder FurEver.
