I do everything that I can to try and produce the most healthy puppies that I can for a long and happy life, and I offer lifetime breeder support to all of my puppy buyers.

Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
I socialise my pups with children, other animals and also other dogs. The pups always have the tv going and loads of toys to interact with, all helping them get used to strange noises etc.
Health
I health test my puppies and the parents for all I can and include the reports in the puppy pack along with the proven parentage via dna.
Home environment
My pups are bought up in the house in a loving family environment - All of my dogs get on well together in a happy household environment. I do not put them out in kennels and the pups are all whelped in the house and loved, as if they were my children.
Included with our puppies
Puppy pack includes pedigree paperwork, collar, lead, worming tablet to go on with, Copies of parents paperwork, parentage report, vet booklet with vaccination information, Car seat belt clip, toys, tick tablet and puppy blanket. 4kg of Royal Canin puppy food gets sent to your house for free. 8 weeks free pet…

Additional Tests
Meinrad Rottweilers conducts 7 additional tests available for the Rottweiler.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).
Genetic Test
Hereditary Footpad Hyperkeratosis (HFH) is a genetic condition of Irish Terriers that causes thickening and hardening of their footpads, forming painful corns. There is a DNA test now available to indicate whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease. This test can be run on puppies as well.
Genetic Test
Leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) is a genetic neuromuscular disease. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Physical Test
A mouth certificate indicates the dog has had its teeth examined for any missing or misaligned teeth and that its bite is correct. Dogs with overshot, undershot or misaligned jaws should not be bred. A poor bite or jaw problems can lead to more dental disease, ulcers, palate and lip problems.
Genetic Test
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is an inherited muscle disease causing severe, progressive muscle atrophy in puppies. Affected puppies are small and lack coordination. Within weeks, the puppies may have difficulty holding their head up or standing and may collapse after exertion. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (NAD) is a degenerative neurological disease that has been identified in a few breeds. Gradual degeneration of nerve cells causes uncoordinated movement, a strange gait and other neurological signs. Puppies can be born with the condition or older dogs can develop it later in life. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
