Craffenheim Rottweilers

Puppies are KUSA Registered.

Here at Craffenheim we have a philosophy and that is to “always strive to breed a very balanced Rottweiler that is healthy, of good character/temperament and is able to live and thrive as a working dog that can show, or as a companion dog. I am committed to preserving the true and total Rottweiler, and always try my very best using every available piece of information and research to produce progeny that preserve the breed. In this sense and with very specific goals in mind, we have brought in the finest ADRK lines via exceptional breed ambassadors in order to protect, preserve and improve on the breed not only in South Africa – but Africa as a whole.

In my years of breeding I have bred several show winners, champions, working dogs and many loyal and loving pets. It is my commitment to the bettering of the breed that drives me to keep researching and investing heavily in ADRK blood lines/genetics in order to continue my proud tradition of “Total Rottweiler pups”.

All of our dogs are kept in big paddocks not in kennels and we focus on keeping our dogs in a natural environment with a lot of space to play and exercise. We also focus on keeping feeding and all other physical needs as organic and free from chemicals as we possibly can. We attempt to be as ECO friendly as we can be, and this benefits our dogs first and foremost. Our dogs are also treated as pets and can often be found sitting on someone’s lap totally unaware as to just how heavy they are. Each dog receives individual training, exercise and ‘love time’ with the members of the family and our incredible staff, so that their emotional and mental needs are also met. Playtime at ‘Craffenheim Rottweilers is often a very entertaining and rambunctious exercise. (We lie, it is chaos, but in the happiest and best possible manner)

Our puppies undergo extensive socialization and environmental learning while they are with us. They are never removed from their mothers (only when mom has her play breaks) as the mother has so much to teach them up until the day they leave us. Each pup receives individual attention, stimulation and exposure to a variety of tried and tested environmental situations. Our puppies are encouraged to explore, dig, roll and use all of their senses in order to discover their world. We have puppy activity centers on the farm that serve as ideal playgrounds for learning. Puppies are supervised 24/7.

Our dogs enjoy a variety of breed suitable exercise on the farm, and their exercise varies from having fun swimming in the dam (which is a favorite pastime), to long walks on the farm and lots of retrieving and ball games (This is without a doubt the exercise all of our dogs enjoy the most – young and old) A combination of fun, exercise, quality food, lots of positive mental stimulation and buckets full of love make for a happy kennel. Our more serious males enjoy bite work, tracking, advanced obedience and herding.

We breed our Rottweilers with much dedication, passion and love. We do this because this magnificent breed deserves it.

Puppies are sometimes available to approved to homes, and all of our puppies are KUSA registered (as are the dam and sire; with all necessary health tests completed and on record) Whilst the KUSA breeding standard might allow breeding for example of a C2, C2 dog with a B2 B2 Hip graded dog we do NOT breed in this manner, regardless of whether it is KUSA approved. We do not breed with C hip graded dogs, nor with Elbow graded 3 dogs – ever. This is a personal choice similar to our decision to only use HD and ED FREE (A1 A1 and 0 0) males in our kennel. ALL of our sires are graded the highest in terms of Hip and Elbow scores; which is the ideal for both ‘free’ females, as well as those that have a minimal grade of HD or ED. (Once again: we do not use females with C hips or Grade 3 elbows – ever).

Rottweilers are our life here at Craffenheim and once you own one – they will become your ‘life’ as well.
