Associated Rottweiler Fanciers (ARF) of Northern California was founded in 1992 for the purpose of bringing together Rottweiler owners, breeders and fanciers in Northern California to promote quality and responsibility in the breeding and care of the Rottweiler; to encourage sportsmanship at dog shows; to educate the public about the true nature of the breed; to educate people new to the breed about the proper care, socialization and training of their Rottweilers; and, above all, to have fun with our dogs.
