Our Rottweiler Breeding Process & Philosophy
A South African Rottweiler Breeder with a Foundation of Pedigree German & World Champion Bloodlines
We largely attribute the success of our Kennel to the genetic strength of our breeding stock. Over the years, we have imported prestigious and titled pedigree bloodlines from Germany, Serbia, and other countries in Europe. Our sire and dam imports feature the proven bloodlines of World Champions, German Champions, V-rated Winners, IPO-holders, Best Male, and Sieger/Siegerin Show award holders among others.
Our pedigree bloodlines feature world the famous names of Majestic Rot, Vom Vilstaler Land, Flash Rouse, Vom Haus Zschammer, OD Stanimirovica, Vom haus Drazic, Von der Tonberger Höhe, Vom Weissen Schwan, and more.
Coupled with bloodline strength, we favour German-born rottweilers owing to the ZTP testing of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Rottweiler-Klub (ADRK). Globally, the ADRK has maintained the highest level of the rottweiler’s preservation, integrity, and betterment since the 1920s. (View our dog blog for more on Rottweiler History.)
The ZTP is the breeding suitability test of the ADRK. Compulsory for every potential sire and dam in Germany, each rottweiler is rigorously examined for appearance, conformation, character, temperament, type, and working ability. Rottweilers who fail cannot have their litters registered and are ultimately unsuitable for breeding. These parameters safeguard the original form and function of the rottweiler as a working dog. It promotes only the best breeding candidates, which is why we invest so much into selecting and importing rottweilers of these robust bloodlines for our breeding and Kennel.
Genetic Selection for True, Quality Rottweilers
A combination of research, science, and experience goes into our process of matching the right sire and dam for a breeding pair. Through examining what a line has produced in way of conformation and temperament, we gain an understanding of the dominant traits (both desirable and undesirable) a dog may pass over from the gene pool. We constantly strive towards producing the perfect rottweiler.
For protective drive, we believe in the power of the female line. Often, we match the lines of similar dams the same way, which tends to offer these dogs an edge in intelligence and breed standard conformation.
That said, we always avoid inbreeding. Whilst it can cement desirable traits (and is often cost-effective), we believe that the health of any dog should never be subjected to major risk. As a dog breeder, we want to ensure our rottweiler puppies for sale grow to have long and healthy lives with their new families.
Superior Puppy Upbringing with Socialization & Exposure Training
Setting a strong foundation from month one is vital for developing confidence and trainability in a puppy.
As a small rottweiler breeder in South Africa, this gives us time to personalize socialization and exposure training, as well as understand temperament for better placement.
Our puppies remain with their mother and littermates until eight weeks old. They benefit from natural nourishment but also learn pack structure, compliance, patience, problem-solving, communication, play behavior, and other social skills. Our puppies are developed to adapt and form strong bonds to your house and family within their first few days home. They grow to become sociable and loving, yet courageous, powerful, and composed with sound temperament.
