Don and I live in St Francis, Minnesota 35 miles north of Minneapolis on 40 acres of mostly woods.  We are retired from Honeywell, Inc. and are enjoying our retirement very much. We bought our first Rottweiler in 1980, a pet male by the name of Cannon River Joshua which started our love affair with this wonderful breed.  In 1983 we bought our second Rottweiler Ch Cannon River Tugboat Annie who was the only surviving littermate of BIS/BISS Ch Cannon River Oil Tanker CD.  Annie finished her AKC Championship at 23 months old, and unfortunately was mildly dysplastic when OFA'd at two years old, so was spayed.  We had Annie for 12 1/2 years. Our third Rottweiler and foundation bitch Elke v Parker Haus TT,CGC came to us in 1988. We had our first litter with Elke in 1990.  Elke lived to be 11 yrs and 1 month old.  Elke was really Don's dog and to this day he misses her terribly, as do I.  Everywhere Don was you usually found Elke.   She was practically human, so expressive.  One day Don said to Elke "Do you want to go for a ride?" and for some reason didn't go right away.  Elke would saunter by Don giving him a glaring look of pure disdain and lay down with her butt toward him.  He called her name and she totally ignored him until he said "Ok, lets go now".  She was at the door in a flash. Now, 22 years later, we have here 2 Elke grandaughters and one great, great grandaughter.  In this website are some very nice dogs that came down from Elke.  We hope that you enjoy them.        Oakview Rottweilers Don & Pearl Thompson St. Francis, Minnesota (763) 753-3581
