Improving the Rottweiler Breed

On 30 acres in Apex, North Carolina near Raleigh, NC, SilverHill Rottweilers SilverHill's X-Travagance (Gem)is quiet woods, sunny fields, a pond and the home of Cathleen Rubens and her many pure bred dogs. In the past twenty-two years, Cathy and SilverHill Rottweilers have ethically bred over 40 Champions, many of them winning Specialties and Groups and some went on to Best In Show. We are especially proud of the SilverHill Rottweilers that have gone on to become a part of, or the foundation of, other successful breeding programs.

In addition to these formal achievements, SillverHills is proud of all the many puppies we have placed in homes as pets. We think of each one of them as home bred Rottweiler ambassadors for their good temperaments and conformation.
