Welcome! We are Joan Foote and Stephanie Paulter, and you've reached our home on the web. Our kennel is Thunder Valley Rottweilers. We are Rottweiler code-of-ethics breeders, Joan is a professional handler and Stephanie is a certified obedience trainer.

Our dogs have excellent temperaments and our puppies are raised around cats, dogs and children. We live in Jamestown, Tennessee, USA . Our property is 20 acres and is securely fenced off, with large areas for them to get plenty of exercise. Click here to see our place.

Joan has owned and been handling Rottweilers since 1989. We show our own dogs and client's dogs in both AKC and German-style shows. We own a few Rottweilers who you will see below. We sometimes know of dogs or puppies for sale and can assist you in either finding a dog or possibly selling a dog.
