RV Rottweilers

home

Welcome to Ravencrest and Villate Rottweilers located in Bedfordview, South Africa.

We are members of the Meridian Rottweiler League and the Kennel Union of Southern Africa. We are MRL
Code of Ethics breeders and select for healthy and typical Rottweilers that are reliable, family friendly and
always ready for action.   Our dogs fulfill the roles of companions and guardians in our home and we exhibit
at specialist club shows and selected all-breed shows held in our country. RV Rottweilers have
received numerous top awards and placings under world-renowned judges. We have owned or bred six
National Sieger/in and Youth Sieger/in titleholders to date.

We believe in preserving the working qualities in the Rottweiler and regularly train and occasionally compete
in the sport of IPO. We also participate in IPO seminars held by training groups in our province
whenever possible.

We have endeavoured to establish a recognizable type through our breeding programme and seek dogs with distinctive qualities in their character and
conformation. We have incorporated certain imported studs in the past and will continue concentrating on selected European bloodlines in the
future. Our breeding philosophy is based on respect for the ADRK Breed Standard and an appreciation for the Rottweiler as a competent working dog.

Our interest in the breed is global and we have attended breed shows and sport trials in Germany, Spain, Canada, USA and Mexico. Enjoy your
visit and we appreciate contact and comments from all Rottweiler friends and enthusiasts.
