We have shared our lives with Rottweilers now since 1986 when our first Rottie moved in and took over our lives. From that moment we were hooked, and our lives have revolved around the dogs ever since.
Our numbers steadily grew after our first litter in 1990. Then in 1992, we were joined by our first Pembroke Corgi.
In the beginning, we were hooked on the show scene too, but for over 10 years now, our own business commitments have meant that showing has been reduced to the odd show perhaps a couple of times a year - just so that people dont forget out faces!! When time permits, we tend to spectate more than show nowadays - less stress involved I think.

We have occassional litters - normally when we want to keep a puppy ourselves. Our current Rottweiler range from just under 12 years old to 5 months old, inc Cuba and Phoenix who are now amost 6 years old.
In 2006 we aquired 'Dozer' or as he is known at home - Dozey Pants - and if you met him you would see why! He is the first Rottweiler we have bought for over 17 years.
Despite this he has qualified for Crufts at all but 3 of the Championship Shows that he has been to and as of 2006/2007, has rarely been out of the cards when being exibited since.
He has had numberous Best Puppy, Best of Breed and Reserve Best of Breed Open Shows.

In 2006 also saw the addition to the family are Keri & KoKo, born in September 2006, we await to see if they will make it to the showring or more to the point if I will!

When we breed our main priority is temperament and health.

We want our puppies to go into permanent loving family homes where they can stay for life and lead a full family life.

All of our Rottweilers are hip scored, and we only use hip scored stud dogs, normally also dogs that we know well so that we know the temperaments of them, and that they match to our own superb tempered girls!!

All of our Dogs stay with us for life - they are not used to breed with and then 'retired' to some stranger - they are first and foremost our family, and the most important thing in our lives IS our family.
They all live indoors, all get on well together and all are loved and like to meet the people who come to visit us both at home and at our hydrotherapy pool.

Our next additions to the family were Jake, Zara and Summer born April 2008.

Jake and Zara have been shown during the 2008, 2009 and 2010 and have been well placed. Zara is co-owned and shown by my friend Karen who is looking forward to being in the bitch ring with her at the shows next summertime. Karen also moves both Jake and Dozer for me (when Steve isn't at the shows with us), and we work as a team together. She is a good friend and helped to raise Jake, Zara & Summer when I was rushed into hospital just after they were born.
Watch out for the future - there's lots of 'LUV' coming to a show near you!

This was Cuba at 12 weeks old - she is typical of the puppies that we breed - although I think she is a little bit too clever for her own good at the minute. She is cock sure, and so laid back. We really dont know that we have her around the house. She is a pleasure to live with - a very gentle and affectionate animal who has produced a beautiful litter for us in 2006. She is the mother of Keri & KoKo.

The following link shows Mia, one of the Rottweilers that we bred from Dallas (Rottwud Killala) & Harry in Jan 2006, who has been on GMTV and other news stations on countless occassions. She was on GMTV on June 3rd 08, and then with Natasha Kaplinsky on her News program.
Copy and paste the link and see her for yourself:

Her owner Ryan, is editor of K9 Magazine.
Mia is litter sister to Rottwud Harriette - our Polly!

As well as Rotts, we've shared our lives with Pembroke Corgis since 1990.
We breed the very occasional litter of corgies.
We have three corgis: Harley, who at over 12 1/2 years old is grandmother to Red - the 'gobbiest' dog in the house. Typical little dog, and finally Kiki who is Red's daughter born 2011.

We showing Red at a limited number of shows and she qualified and attended Crufts.
Jason & Kelly also did well and qualified Ein for Crufts and it was lovely seeing her brother Ein in the ring too.
UPDATE: RED has qualified for Crufts at her first Championship Show! Well done Red!


Red's brother Ein, has also qualified at his and his owners -Kelly and Jason's - first ever Championship show - WELL DONE!

There is now a new addition to the Corgi household!
KIKI is a stunning Red and White girl, out of Red and Ellhar Galahad, we are hoping that she will debut at her first show late 2011. The litter itself was stunning with fabulously marked Tricolours the likes of which we have not had before.

We are hoping that we can repeat this mating in Spring 2012 and perhaps add another Corgi to the household. So watch out for our Corgi litter soon!

For now, Kiki has gone to live with Kelly, Jay and her uncle Ein as Kelly wants a girl puppy to show and have some fun with. FIngers crossed for some good results!

On New Years Day 2012 there was a new arrival at the Rottwud household - FRANK the Dogue de Bordeaux! He has settled in well, Dozer adores him and they are already best buddies after just a few days. He is totally different to any Rottweiler or Corgi puppy that we have had and although I have always said that nothing beats a Rottie pup I think that Frank is close to challenging this thought, and we have babied him like we have never babied a puppy before!
Frank has his own Facebook page: Frankthedogue where you can see his initial photos and hopefully some regular updates.



***************************PLEASE NOTE*********************************

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE SELL OUR PUPPIES TO BE EXPORTED FROM THE UK - EITHER BY OURSELVES OR ANY OTHER PARTY.
The endorsements we place on the Kennel Club registrations prevent the puppies from being exported and the contract of sale will fully explain this and you will have to sign a legally binding contract that you will not export our puppy.


IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ROTTWEILER OR A CORGI TO LIVE IN ANY COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE UNITED KINGDOM, THEN PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US AS WE ARE NOT WILLING TO OVERTURN THIS DECISION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

We will update the website when we have litters planned, but in the meantime, anyone interested in our future breeding program is welcome to contact us and be placed on our waiting list to ensure that they have the best chance of being able to take one of our beautiful babies home for a lifetime of affection and companionship.

Here at Rottwud, we normally only breed when we plan to keep puppies for ourselves and members of our family.
Our dogs are first and foremost loving, family pets who all live in the house.
We attend the occasional show and have been lucky that we had two dogs qualified for Crufts 2009.
Our two latest puppies that we are showing - Jake and Zara - have already won Best Puppy in Breed at their first shows at 6 months of age - Jake taking Group 2 aswell.
Jake, Zara and their father Dozer all qualifed for Crufts 2010, Jake then was the only Rottweiler that we showed 2010- 2011 and he qualified for Crufts 2011, however, due to my ever worsening health we didnt attend Crufts in 2011 - the first time for almost 20 years that we havent been to Crufts.

Regardless, we know that we always bring the best dogs home with us from a show!

We have now put showing on hold for a while, until we find out if I will be able to show again and whilst Steve is busy in the Hydrotherapy Pool then helping other dogs to get well is the priority.

But, we will still continue to have the occassional litter of puppies when we are ready to keep a new addition to the family!
We are hoping to have a Rottweiler litter late Summer 2012 and will update our Champdogs site when it happens.

We are also planning to have an independant www.Rottwud.co.uk site soon, to run along side of our Canine Hydrotherapy website.
