The Rottweiler Club, the first specialist club for the breed, was formed in 1960. Amongst facilities offered to members are :
A Newsletter and a Year Book.
Two Shows held annually, A Championship Show and an Open Show.

Our aim is to promote the well being and public image of the breed now and for the future.
We are a member of the Rottweiler Breed Council who have produced this informative leaflet which you can download which answers the question 'So you want a Rottweiler'

IMPORTANT
For those of you looking for a Rottweiler puppy please take care about buying on-line. There are many so called 'breeders' who do not health check and who are in it for the money, consequently puppies are sold cheaply with no back up or help available if 'things' go wrong.
There is an on-line advertisement from a breeder of another breed, advertising a first time litter of Rottweilers. The puppies are expensive and quoted as being from parents who are hip scored. The parents have in fact very high hip scores and should not have been bred from. There are other puppies being advertised as being docked – THIS IS ILLEGAL. These advertisements are being monitored and complaints sent to the site.
The recommendation is to breed from the lowest hip scores, the Rottweiler Club Code of Ethics for members states that the highest score which can be bred from is 20, with no more than 10 On either hip.i.e. 10/10. The lower the score the better. Where elbow scores are mentioned – there are only 4 grades – 0 – normal, 1 – mild, 2 – moderate and 3 – severe. The BVA recommendation is that only 0 and 1 should be bred from.
If you want a puppy contact a reputable breeder who will do the necessary health checks of breeding stock – take care with matings – rear and socialise the puppies well.
Always ask to see the parents – it may not be possible to see the sire as he may not be owned by the breeder.
Ask to see the health check certificates and the Kennel Club registration names of both parents and copy of puppy’s pedigree – the pedigree may not be available until you collect the puppy.
The Committee of the Rottweiler Club will give all the help and advice it can to help you to find a reputable breeder.
