Dr. Kim

Our theme song for this page is dedicated to our 24 year old two legged daughter, Kimberly Anne Yatteau ( alias Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) who is studying medicine at the University of Tennesse in Memphis, TN.

Kim is now in her fourth year of medical school. She spent June of her first year at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Hospital interning in family practice. (She even helped deliver her first baby!)

Her first summer she also was selected by her church and has been in Buenos Aires, Argentina for two weeks with a medical missionary group. Kim reports she has had a life awakening experience. She found the people of Argentina to be kind, warm, and loving. She was given love from those who had nothing but that to give and never once complained of what they did not have in life. Kim saw for the first time children playing in the streets amidst the most horrid and unsanitary conditions. She said it was so bad, it made her physically sick. Kim is a most truly compassionate young medical student who has had her eyes opened to the inequalities and tragedies of life and who now returns home wanting more than ever to help those in great need. Welcome home Dr. Kim. (Thanks Grace Acosta for sending Kim off from Miami in style. You are my sister and true friend. Kim found you to be another major influence in her role model composition and that is one heck of a compliment.) After this trip Kim returned for her third year of medical school. No mother could be given more...

Kim and her Prince, Sir John Quigley, dress for dinner at "Kondor Castle".

What a great kid that Kim is, However....

Why couldn't she be a vet???? With our dogs...who needs another doctor???

We will never forget that day in the allergist's office years back when the doctor said, "Kim, you are allergic to dogs". Mom almost fainted.

All our love to you Kim.

Dad, Mom, Kondor, Elke, Chewbacca, Komodo, Sabrina, Joshua, Turtle, Darbee, Daizsha and your very favorite, "The Pinkster".

You Be The Judge

Touch of Class receives many emails daily and wishes to share a couple of our most recent ones with you:

Email from Nicole Mastrowicz, Melbourne, Austrailia -

I just wanted to write an email telling you how wonderful your site is. I think this site is THE BEST Rottie site on the entire world wide web-CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'll be back soon to see your beautiful rotties-CHEWBACCA is just a perfect rottie!!

Email from S. Karr

Wow!! Man O' man... I just spent about 2 hours reading every last word of your Rottie site. I can't express how beautifully your dogs are. It definitely appears that Chewbacca is throwing "his" awesome heads along to his offspring. I have had Rotties for going on 6 years now... and read everything I can about this wonderful breed... but it's always a pleasure to see more positive information. I have had my fair share of heartache with dogs that were not the potential they were said to be and have felt great loss from this. But, its reading this site that makes mepush forward and look for only the best in which I do. Maybe someday I will have a Rottie of this calibur.. (one really of that calibur, not just told they were)...
Thank you and best wishes.

Email from Tonia Kearney

My name is Tonia and I just wanted to let you know that your Rottie site is the best by far!!!! Chewy is a massive yet adorable dog!! I fell in love with Elke because she reminds me so much of my seven month old Rottie Princess Von Kearn. They are beautiful animals and may God bless you all for treating them the way they are to be treated with love and compassion.

Email from DeAnna Terry

WOW! What can I say???? You have got the most beautiful rotties I have ever seen!!!!! My goodness-Chew-He's PERFECT! in every way. Lordy-what a head on that "monster".I'm willing to bet he's a spoiled rottie that loves attention! I cannot get over his size and those pups are absolutely adorable!! Hugs and Kisses all around. GOOD JOB! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! gorgeous, adorable...going back to browse for another hour or so!!!!!!!

Email from Gloria -

Just had to send you a brief email to congratulate you on the beautiful Rotties you are producing! You seem very dedicated to the breed and that is needed in this world of throw-away animals.

I bred Rotties for 12 years here in Canada but quit quite a while ago. Just too difficult to find great homes for the pups.

Great website and beautiful dogs. Thanks for sharing them with me!

All the best, Gloria

Email from the Browns -

My entire family loves your website and we spend hours admiring your beautiful rotties! That is until the center of attention in this household, our two year old rottie "Cru" knocks our hand off the mouse so that we can admire her instead. She's beautiful, too. We're really looking forward to seeing pictures of the puppies arriving December 1st. What do I need to do to get on the waiting list for the next litter?

Email from Ashli -

Hello, How are you I am 13 years old and really want a puppy for Christmas! I think my Dad is looking to get me one. I would just like to know if there are going to be any pupies ready for Christmas----I really really want one.

Thank you,
Ashli J.

Email from Stephanie Phillippe

Hi, my name is Stephanie Houston. I got your email address from your site on the internet. I am also a Rottweiler lover. Your dogs are beautiful. I do not own a Rottweiler, but am hoping to in the future. I would love to now but my mom babysits and the moms as well as my mom are a bit afraid of Rottweilers. I have no clue why. I only own a retired Greyhound named Smooth. I have seen many dogs on the internet but none as cute as yours! A always get in trouble for buying things with Rottweilers on it like calendars, mugs, stuffed animals, books, bookmarks, etc. I bought a beanie baby Rottweiler and named him Kondor after one of your dogs. If that is OK with you. I probably sound really stupic writing to people I don't know but I really want to talk about Rottweilers with somebody who shares an interest with me. I love your web page and how you did every page different and new! I also love the music you put in the background. I have to go now but I enjoyed writing this letter to you. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Hi, we spoke (emailed!) before and I have sent your website to many people who enjoy it as much as we do. We love the idea of your fund and would also like to send our condolences. We love our Lexi and don't like the idea of "that day" happening to us. We would like to share an experience with you that almost cost us our dog and in hopes of it not happening to anyone else.

Lexi loves her rubber ball. She can't sleep without it! About 1 year ago we had purchased her ball which was fine when she was little but as she grew we should have bought a bigger ball. Anyway, she got it stuck in her throat. Her eyes had begun to roll and she was not getting any air. Michael litterally had to put one hand down her throat and the other massaging the ball upward. When the ball finally came up she collapsed in his lap. She started to breath on her own shortly after and to this day, she does not allow Michael to be too far from her! Thank God we were home.

When I see people in petstores buying those balls I always tell our story, and to buy a bigger ball. Most listen. Thanks again for your enjoyable site. It is a treat to see that others love their Rotties as much as we do.
