Health-tested breeding, ADRK standards, ethical breeder identification.
BH, IGP/Schutzhund, ZTP and Koerung certify a Rottweiler's temperament, trainability and breed suitability — none of them is a health test.
OFA grades hips Excellent/Good/Fair (passing), Borderline, or Mild/Moderate/Severe, and elbows Normal or Grade I-III — final-certified only at 24 months.
A health-tested Rottweiler has public OFA results for hips, elbows, cardiac, eyes and JLPP DNA — plus a CHIC number from ARC breeders — all free to verify yourself.
JLPP is a fatal recessive disease in Rottweilers caused by the RAB3GAP1 c.743delC mutation; a single DNA test makes affected puppies entirely preventable.
