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/Schutzhund.  We also participate in Schutzhund seminars held by training groups in our province   whenever possible.                                                        Neil Perkins began his involvement in 1995 and is currently Chairman                                                      of the Meridian Rottweiler League and President of the Highveld Rottweiler                                                      Club.  He is also Vice Chairman and Health Convener for the Rottweiler                                                      Breed Council of KUSA.                                                       Neil is a learner specialist breed judge through the RBC training scheme and is                                                      qualified to judge both Working and Herding Groups at Open show level. Neil has                                                      recently qualified as a learner IPO/Schutzhund judge.                                                                                                                                Alex Varela bought his first Rottweiler in 1987 and joined the Meridian                                                       Rottweiler League the following year.  He has served on the committee                                                       of the MRL and  represented this club as delegate on the                                                       Rottweiler Breed Council of KUSA and Gauteng Provincial Council.                                                        He is also a learner specialist judge through the RBC training scheme                                                       and is currently editor of the MRL newsletter, the Meridian Mirror.   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 favoured European bloodlines in the      future.  Our breeding philosophy is based on respect for the ADRK Breed Standard and an appreciation for the Rottweiler as the wonderful working dog.   Our interest in the Rottweiler 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 serious enthusiasts.
