ABOUT US

Our true love of the Rottweiler Breed stems from living and working with them and the bond that this builds between dog and handler.

 We have been in the Rottweiler breed for over 17 years, showing, training and breeding this majestic breed. We compete REGIONALLY, NATIONALLY and  INTERNATIONALLY. We are active in ALL ASPECTS of the Rottweiler from AKC, GERMAN RING AND SCHUTZHUND. Vom Vollenhaus Rottweilers has produced and shown:

USRC NATIONAL SIEGER,  ARV NATIONAL WINNERS,  MULTI V1 RATED DOGS,  ARV BEST FEMALE PUPPY,  USRC MULTI BEST MALE & FEMALE PUPPIES,  USRC MULTI NATIONAL WINNERS,  USRC YOUTH VICE SIEGERIN & SIEGER,  USRC MULTI SELECT YOUTH MALES & FEMALES,  AKC CHAMPION,  MULTI AKC BEST OF OPPOSITE SEX,  MULTI AKC MULTI GROUP PLACINGS,  MULTI AKC BEST OF BREED,  MULTI AKC BEST OF WINNERS,  MULTI AKC RESERVE WINNERS,  UCI INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONS,  USRC SELECT ADULT MALES & FEMALES,  USRC MULTI VP1 RATED PUPPIES,  WORKING DOGS ...........

Our kennel focuses on breeding only EXCEPTIONAL German Rottweilers from strong, proven German working bloodlines. We have been active in Schutzhund and other dog sport and show venues for many years, and all of our breeding dogs possess working titles, conformation titles, OFA or Foreign certifications, and are thoroughly screened and tested for health, nerve and temperament. Our dogs are also usually Handler, Owner, Trained. Working, training and titling our dogs ensures that we have a thorough understanding of each dog's temperament, character, strengths and weaknesses, which in turn allows us to make the best breeding decisions possible. Puppies are well socialized from birth, can be tattooed and or microchipped, and come with a written health warranty.

We strive to produce a balanced dog with exceptional nerve and temperament coupled with strong drives and work ethic and a thinking, sensible character. In short, the type of widely versatile dog the Rottweiler was designed to be. Dogs from our kennel are currently training and being shown in several venues across the country and world. Here at Vom Vollenhaus Rottweilers, you will find a superb companion with the ability to do anything you ask.

OUR BREEDING PROGRAM

Vom Vollenhaus Rottweilers breeds for THE COMPLETE ROTTWEILER. We are deeply commited to breeding outstanding German Rottweilers. It is of the utmost importance to us to preserve the temperament and strong working abilities of this breed. Our kennel follows the FCI ROTTWEILER BREED STANDARD used by the ADRK in GERMANY. Our aim is to preserve the complete Rottweiler in excellent breed type, stable temperament, strong working drives along with correct conformation, strong head peices, strong bones and genetic health and soundness.

 We breed only top quality German Rottweilers from European working bloodlines. You will not find any American bloodline dogs here. Our goal as breeders is to preserve the fundamental characteristics of the German Rottweiler, and promote the traits that make this breed great. We do this by only breeding dogs with proven working ability, superb nerve and temperament, excellent health and sound physical structure. The Rottweiler is a breed that can do anything, and we strive for this in our breedings.

From a breeding standpoint, while titles are fundamental measures of breed worthiness and provide an official record of achievement and objective evaluation, that is only a part of their merit. Even more important from a breeder's perspective is what is learned about the dog along the way. It is the time spent together working and training toward that title that is the most valuable when it comes to evaluating temperament and working ability, and in this sense the journey to a title is even more important than the title itself. With this in mind, we choose to raise, train and title our dogs ourselves, rather than to always purchase already trained or titled dogs, once in awhile we will send a dog out to be trained and titled by a professional trainer.

This can be a slow road at times as each and every title obtained represents a large commitment of time, energy and money. But it is well worth it. A thorough training program that pushes the dog's limits is the surest way to bring to light all that lies in the depths of a dog's personality, and schutzhund is without a doubt one of the most comprehensive and stringent training programs out there. Through the training process, we become intimately familiar with each dog's strengths and weaknesses and gain a thorough knowledge of his or her individual traits and working ability, which in turn helps us make good breeding decisions. Thus we are able to ensure that pups from our kennel will be true to their working heritage, and able to carry on the legacy that has made the Rottweiler the versatile breed that it is today.

Our breeding program focuses on quality NOT quantity and we only have a few SELECT litters a year. We put a great deal of time and effort into planning our breedings, often spending months researching dogs and pedigrees. All but a few of our breeding dogs are titled and health screened, thus proving themselves of good health and structure, sound temperamnet and nerve, and strong working ability before they begin their breeding careers. Breeding partners are selected very carefully based on the positive impact they will have on our own bloodline and on the Rottweiler breed as a whole. Careful research and planning, combined with our environment that allows us to provide all of our puppies, with a great deal of personal attention, socialization and early imprintng, ensures that our pups have the best possible start in life.

Dogs from our breedings are excelling in SCHUTZHUND, AGILITY, COMPETITIVE OBEDIENCE, HERDING, RALLY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, TRACKING, PERSONAL PROTECTION, NARCOTICS, SAR, while at the same time serving their families as trustworthy, loving and devoted companions. There is no better dog in the world than a good, well bred Rottweiler, and thats what you will find at Vom Vollenhaus Rottweilers.

Quality Rottweiler puppies start with quality breedings. We strongly believe females are the backbone of any breeding program and have taken great care and time selecting each one of our females. All of our breeding females have been carefully chosen for their strong working abilities, excellent temperaments, strong nerves, and proven bloodlines The same care and time goes into the selection of stud dogs. 

If you are interested in purchasing one of our Rottweiler puppies or  Youth or Adult dogs or breeding to one of our Stud dogs please feel free to contact us and we will try to assist you in finding the right puppy, dog or stud dog. We are always available, 7 days a week, to visit with you personally about your special needs & interests.

OUR PASSION: THE WORKING ROTTWEILER

Much of our involvement in schutzhund and other dog sport venues stems not just from the enjoyment we get from participating in these activities, but because they also serve as superb tools for evaluating breeding stock. Schutzhund was originally designed as a breed worthiness test for the Rottweiler, with the express purpose of weeding out those dogs that did not exhibit proper nerve, character and working ability and removing them from the gene pool. It is still used as such in Germany, where puppies cannot be registered unless both parents are titled in schutzhund. This requirement that the dog first prove itself a good representative of the Rottweiler prior to breeding, as well as pass strict tests of health and structural evaluation, is a major factor in why the dogs of European bloodlines are generally considered to be of better quality than those of American stock, as the American breed registries like AKC have no requirements for breeding beyond both parents being purebreds, no health or temperament testing is required.

 Today while not a perfect evaluation, schutzhund remains one of the most stringent and comprehensive methods for ensuring that the Rottweiler breed remains true to its working heritage. The schutzhund requirements for a dog to be proficient in tracking, obedience and protection work in order to earn a schutzhund title also ensure that the breed remains the all around "Jack of All Trades" working dog that it was intended to be. This training provides important knowledge as to the dog's temperament and abilities, and helps separate dogs who possess the proper characteristics to be an asset to the breed from those who should not be bred.

Vom Vollenhaus Rottweilers believes that the more varied and comprehensive the training and titling a dog undergoes the better, in addition to SchH we also train and title our dogs in a variety of other venues. We also put them through nationally recognized temperament testing with the American Temperament Test Society and AKC's Canine Good Citizen Program. Taking our dogs to widely different environments to have them objectively evaluated under vastly different standards and programs by judges with varied backgrounds, provides not only more activities to enjoy with our dogs but also significantly more knowledge about each dog's core temperament to assist us with breeding decisions. With this in mind, we require that all of our breeding dogs are titled in multiple venues, as well as hip/elbow certified and health screened, before beginning their breeding careers.
