Our kennel

- stable, sound mindset, self-assurance : a Rottweiler must be a loyal companion to its family, yet possess sufficient hardness and determination to perform all kinds of utility work (we have dogs from our kennel titled in French Ringsport, Mondioring, VPG, Utility Search, Narcotics Detection, Obedience and Agility), as well as sufficient courage and fighting drive to ensure the protection of its home and family.

2) The way we do the things we do

Our dogs are first and foremost, beloved and loyal everyday companions. They are not "zoo animals" who spend 23h30 a day in the kennel away from the house.

We do have a professional-quality kennel, in a concrete building aside from our home, with everything that is necessary to our dogs' comfort, but only use it at night and when we are not home.

3) Raising the pups

Only a restricted number of dogs allows a true "family life" for the dogs. Much in the same way, only a limited "production" ensures that the birth of a new litter remains a magical moment and joyful time of the year.

The puppies are born inside the house, in one of our two living rooms, where we spend most of our time when we are at home. They stay there until they are 6 or 7 weeks of age (usually at that age they figure out how to come out of the whelping box, and they are getting very rowdy). For as long as they are inside the house, the pups are therefore submitted to every possible noise and situation : phones ringing, kitchen appliances running, loud TV and stereo, loud computer games, and of course the everyday hustle-and-bustle of us and our dogs walking in and out of the room, slamming doors, turning lights on and off, etc. Several times a day, they are taken out of the box by turn, and spend some time around the house with us and our adult dogs. Special time is devoted to petting and handling.

Our experience has shown us that this lifestyle from birth to 6 or 7 weeks, ensures pups with very good nerves, who fear nothing and feel "at home" wherever they go. This is very important in their future life.

When they become "too big" to stay inside the house 24 hours a day, they move outside to a special kennel, near our adult dogs. It is equipped with a good stereo system, so they can "listen" to the radio and music all day, and also have their daily exposure to a special CD with all sorts of strange noises. Again, this ensures very good nerves and self-assurance in future new situations.

Myself with Ugo vom Cäsarenkamp, just sitting around the house.

Until they leave our kennel, the puppies spend much time every day with their mom, just like Nature intended. Hence they receive proper "pack hierarchy" notions and an indispensable basis to be good, well-balanced dogs throughout their lives.

Spending time every day, with each pup individually, also allows us to really know their personality traits, which is very important when the time comes to advise people as to which pup is best suited to their purpose. We can therefore pride ourselves on having only "happy customers".

We have been members of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Rottweiler Klub (A.D.R.K.) since 1997.

We sincerely hope you will share our vision of Rottweiler-breeding. We remain at your disposal for any questions and discussion.
