01 / OUR STORY

A small program.
A personal approach.

We’re Jeff and Katie, the husband-and-wife team behind Vom Swofford Rottweilers. Our dogs live with us in our home in Jacksonville, Florida. They’re part of our household and our everyday lives. We keep our breeding program small, with two to four litters each year.

Talk with Jeff and Katie about the dogs, planned pairings, and the home you can offer a puppy. Ask questions, review the available records, and get to know the program before making a decision.

Champion bloodlines

Bella’s AKC-certified pedigree includes six distinct Champions (CH) and one Bronze Grand Champion (GCHB), Lothar vom Drakenfels—seven individually titled ancestors in the generations shown. Her sire, CH Ketelhaus’ Return to Sender, and maternal grandsire, CH Ketelhaus’ Hannibal Rising, are among the Champions behind her.

CH Ketelhaus’ Hannibal Rising

Bella’s maternal grandsire is an AKC Champion with documented Excellent-rated Sieger-show placements: V3 in the Saturday male Champion class at the March 20–21, 2021 URKA/NFRK event, and V4 in the male Champion class at the May 1–2, 2021 American Rottweiler Club National Sieger Show. V means Excellent; the number identifies the class placement.
