​Events

One of the  funniest events are puppy shows to which we invite one litter puppies when they are 4 and 6 months old.  During this event each puppy owner can get advice on feeding, raising and training a puppy it's for free.

We kindly recommend fora puppy to go through the basic training program in ''puppy group'' where they meet with other breed dogs and the owner gets experience of basic training and later can keep on train his dog for bigger competitions.

 

If you ing have decided to participate in dog exhibitions with your dog, you have to start training it and practise from an early age. We will show and explain to you the main basic principles of handling in special classes.

 

Our main event of the year is a specialized rottweiler dog show.

Dogs were imported from Russia and also went to Moscow for mating. In 1993 the club directors meetingit was accepted to stamp(tattoo, microchip) all the puppies. In 1996 a dog from Germany (Natasha vom Vilstaler Land) was imported. Since then we have started mating in Germany and other countries.

 

Since 1998 all the dogs have undergone hip dysplasia tests, in order not to breed dogs with hereditary diseases so the puppies were healthy!
