Von Hessischerhof Rottweilers
Adding a Rottweiler puppy to your family can be a big step and
at Von Hessischerhof Rottweilers we are dedicated to helping
you through the entire process. We screen potential owners and
place our rottweilers in an environment in which they are given
love, attention, and training throughout their lifetimes, as well
as helping each rottweiler to reach there full potential as a show
or working dog.
Von Hessischerhof Rottweilers number one goal, as a rottweiler
breeder, is to produce genetically healthy rottweiler puppies
with excellent temperaments and conformation. We breed for
conformation and working competitions
(VPG/SchH/IPO/Ringsport), carefully studying pedigrees,
conformation, and temperament and looking at past offspring
produced to select rottweilers that meet our goals and
expectations.
Since the temperament of the rottweiler parents is highly
heritable we carefully select our rottweiler breeding pair in
order to provide a sound and happy rottweiler. Many of our
rottweilers have passed some form of temperament evaluation
such as a BH, VPG/SchH exam or Breed Suitability Test (Ztp).
Although temperament is very important it is only half of a good
rottweiler, health and structural conformation is the second. We
strive to produce rottweilers that are as close to the German
standard as possible. For that reason most of our rottweilers are
imported from European countries where they have proven
themselves as sound working and show dogs. All of our dogs are
OFA or HD Certified for hips prior to entering our rottweiler
breeding program.
