The object of the Rottweiler breeding is to establish a harmonic, solid, and strong companion, blind, security, working, and family dog,
respectively. This dog has to be in accordance with the signs of the breed and show the highest physic and psychical capability. Our breeders do not only want to reproduce the dog but also to preserve
and stabilize its form and nature on a wide base.
Marks of a breed are defined in a list of traits and attributes, which is established by the responsible breeding club. Each dog should show these
signs in the highest possible perfection in comparison to the ideal of this breed (breed standard). The club of this country, which is supposed to be the origin of the breed, is responsible for modifying
and supplementing the breed standard
For the Rottweiler this club is the ADRK e.V.
All the other countries, as far as they are members of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), or are associated with the FCI, are
bound to acknowledge the breed marks of the originating country, which guarantees a far-reaching conformity in breeding, judging and rating of the dogs. The ADRK uses the following introducing phrase for
the standard:
Rottweiler breeders aim at a dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings, whose powerful appearance does not
lack nobility and which is exceptionally well suited to be a companion, blind, security, working, and family dog.
