Craffenheim Ezno of vom Vom Almiheim Rottweilers (Craffenheim Ice/Craffenheim Yanka) is a master.
Please note: this is not the Titanic.
1st time Dad Enzo is not only a great stud, but pretty coooooooooooooooooool on the water.
Love this.

Our very special young slacker, 2 year old Craffenheim Zelda (named after grandma, Zelda vom Calibra of Craffenheim)
Zelda is out of Hasko vom Hause Anin and Craffenheim Zynah (who is an Onyx and Zelda Daughter = a LOT of Balou vom Silblerblick) Zelda recently passed her hip and elbow exams with flying colours.
Zelda is a kangaroo in her free time, and a gossip. She can be found screeching at all the other dogs, while attempting to do as little as possible. Meal times are her FAVE times of the day - and then she comes alive. *Food driven slacker delux our gorgeous Girl.
She reminds us so much of her beloved RIP granny - down to the 'eating' thing. 😂❤

Look. It is Craffenheim Izzy, owned and loved by Michelé M O'Connor ❤😆
Izzy is out of Hasko vom Hause Anin/Craffenheim Freya.
Izzy goes to PUPPY SCHOOL and believes she is No 1 in the class (she is of course No 1 in the class)
Izzy is "allegedly" a rather busy hooligan. *that does not mean mischievous or naughty, just BUSY. 🤣
(Not sure how her brother, Craffenheim Bogey survives his little sister 😂)

Keep rocking Izzy. ❤🥳

Guess who is a proud breeder *again. Me, it is me. 😂
The stunning Craffenheim Kaia 1 year old to the day, successfully passed her BH at the youngest age allowed. Her owner and trainer, Josh Tremell can be so very very very proud of himself and Kaia the firecracker (Kaia is out of Hasko vom Hause Anin/Craffenheim Unja)
At 7 months old Kaia was tracking like her grandpa, Chris vom Schwaiger Rathaus of Craffenheim who scored 100/100 for tracking in this IGP 3.
Kaia is preparing for her IGP 1, but can only do it at 18 months of age.
Josh and Kaia - keep on rocking in the free world/work world. You have our admiration and support

I can't stress enough how important this is to read, understand and APPLY in the real world. You get one chance to allow your puppy a healthy skeletal development. Good breeding + how you behave with the pup affect skeletal growth.
Please read and share with any new puppy owners. (Especially large breed dogs)

When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

We are absolutely thrilled with these big b***d, full of temperament pups out of Hasko vom Hause Anin of Craffenheim (Balak vom Hause Anin/Alpha vom Hause Anin) and Craffenheim Unja (Chris vom Schwaiger Rathaus of Craffenheim/Seline Vom Dunvanhof).
*All pups were pre-booked - none available.
These pups are 'full' of it and have the special aura we breeders sometimes see when the genetics/combination WORKS.
Thrilled thrilled thrilled. *New owners handful alert. 😂

Any breeders' dream. Duane Vosloo, owner of CH Craffenheim Ice (BA BH BST SPR1 SA SIEGER BIS VT) sent me the KUSA Breeder's Championship certificate for Craffenheim Ice.
Ice is a SPECIALIST Breed Champion, which means he acquired his CH title via Specialist Rottweiler shows and specialist Rottweilers judges. This is an incredible achievement for both Ice and his owner. (Apart from the show titles the team of Duane and Ice managed to complete the BST and SPR 1 while showing)
Congrats to both Duane and Ice on all the hard work and success.
As for me, I am a proud breeder today. ❤

(J in Cape Town and I said he would be a Champion when he was young, and Duane and Ice proved us correct 🙃)

Always wonderful to see hooligans settling in with their new families. Craffenheim Prada (Hasko vom Hause Anin of Craffenheim/Craffenheim Freya) who is taking over mum Monia Parker's life 🤣😂(and sweeper)
Prada lives in the beautiful Crofter's Valley in Noordhoek, Cape Town.
*This is pretty much the dream life. Mountains, sea and a horse farm.
Wishing Monia and family so much joy with the "very well behaved" Prada. ❤
