Welcome to Stoneridge Kennels

I am Cheri Hagen and this is my kennel.  My husband Brian and I live in the beautiful Mat-Su Valley approximately 60 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska.  We are currently building our new home in Houston, Alaska where we will have a beautiful new kennel area with large dog yards and acres of training and exercising space.  Check out our Construction page for pictures of the construction as we go along.

My first Rottweiler, Samantha, was purchased in 1985 from a co-worker who was moving.  In 1990, after a sudden illness she died.  Shortly after, I purchased what became my foundation bitch, Black Mariah, CGC.  Over the years we have brought in and bred to dogs from our good friend, Sandy Overgaard of Pepperhaus Rottweilers.  Through her mentorship we have achieved many goals we never thought possible.  As we progress in our breeding program, our goals,  breeding the healthiest and soundest working and conformation dogs possible and showing them to their highest potential will continue. 

I am a Code of Ethics breeder and a member of the American Rottweiler Club, the United States Rottweiler Club, the Rottweiler Club of Alaska and Cook Inlet Kennel Club.  I am very involved in showing in conformation, obedience, rally, herding and hopefully soon, agility.  I am also active in Therapy Work and visit as often as possible at the Palmer Pioneer and Veteran's Home where my father resides.  Most important though, is enjoying my dogs at home and out in the community.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my website.  Come back often as I try to update on a regular basis.
