Our Current Dogs

Female

Skye

Aust Ch Alchemy Guns in The Sky (AI)

Skye is the heart of the current Schwartzhund bloodline — a daughter of Maverick (Aust Grand Ch CIB A2O Ch (FCI Asia, Africa & Oceania) Schwartzhund Taylors Top Gun (AI) out of Aust Ch Alchemy Belle Brockhoff (AI). She combines femininity with excellent bone and possesses the calm, dependable temperament that has become a hallmark of the line. Skye is the dam of Duke and Vie, from two litters bred four years apart to Brandon, Maverick's sire and therefore Skye's own grandsire. These grandfather-to-granddaughter linebreedings were carefully planned to concentrate the exceptional type, powerful head, and unwavering temperament that Brandon consistently stamps on his progeny, while preserving the soundness, character, and breed quality that define the Schwartzhund breeding program.

Female

Missi

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Mystify

Missi is a Schwartzhund-bred daughter of Gr Ch Khingsahl Patriot Games and Skye, from the INXS Songs litter. As striking in the ring as she is quick off the mark, she has taken her Australian Championship and is currently sitting on over 600 Championship points — shaping up to be Schwartzhund's next Grand Champion. She has also earned the passes for her SprintDog Novice title (N.SPRD) — the paperwork just has to catch up with her. Stay tuned: Missi is planned to be the Dam of the next exciting litter, sired by Moe (frozen semen), early 2027.

Female

Vie

Schwartzhund Cest La Vie (AI)

Vie — Schwartzhund Cest La Vie (AI) — is the kennel's bright young hope, and she has hit the ground running with a string of Best Baby Puppy in Group awards in her very first season. She is by Brandon out of Skye: a deliberate line-breeding, as Brandon is Maverick's sire and therefore Skye's grandsire. Typey, confident and full of showmanship, she carries the Schwartzhund look into the next generation.

Male

Duke

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Brandons Nobleman (AI)

Duke — Australian Champion Schwartzhund Brandons Nobleman (AI) — is one of the current Schwartzhund boys, jointly owned with Miss K Willson. He is by Brandon out of Skye, a deliberate line-breeding: Brandon is Maverick's sire and therefore Skye's grandsire. The same mating was repeated four years later to produce his sister Vie. His full health results, show record and photographs will be added here shortly.

Forever Remembered

Dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge. Their pages remain here in full.

Maverick

Aust Grand Ch, CIB, A2O Ch (FCI Asia, Africa & Oceania) Schwartzhund Taylors Top Gun (AI)

Maverick created history in Australia, becoming the first Rottweiler in the country to be awarded a C.A.C.I.B. and the first to gain the International Beauty Champion (C.I.B.) title. Bred under the Schwartzhund prefix and shown to well over 200 challenge certificates — the vast majority of them Best of Breed — along with Best in Show and multiple Group awards, he combines type, substance and ring presence with fully certified health. His final Royal, the 2023 Royal Adelaide Show, was a moment to cherish — Maverick took Best of Breed, while Runner Up Best of Breed went to his own daughter Skye. A father-daughter result at a Royal that no other Rottweiler will touch. Mav was such a special boy — missed every single day.

Moe

NRCA & Aust Ch Schwartzhund Aramis

Multi V Rated, Best in Show, Runner-up in Group and multi Class-in-Group winner. Moe is one of three boys in his litter — yes, there is a Larry and a Curly too. I actually wanted a bitch from this litter but ended up with three boys, and I am extremely grateful: Moe was a wonderful dog and an absolute pleasure to have around. Available at stud to approved bitches (frozen semen available) — stay tuned, as Moe is coming off the ice to hopefully sire the next exciting litter with Missi, early 2027.

In loving memory

Bond

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Friedrich

Bond announced himself at his very first show and never looked back. He is now very happily residing with Reg and Julie Lapidge alongside his 'real' Auntie Ziva — Ubersein Take Me To The Top (AI).

In loving memory

Bear

Schwartzhund Kurt

Bear lives with Rachel and Dario Markovnovic, thoroughly spoilt and loved by them and their five children. Thank you to Glenn Sparham for handling Bear and getting him on the pegs — love your work.

In loving memory

Elle

NRC(A) / Aust Ch Ubersein Top Model (AI)

Thank you to Louise Russell at Ubersein Rottweilers for entrusting me with this gorgeous bitch. She has big paws to fill — her dam is NRCA & Aust Ch Ubersein Tough at The Top (AI) and her aunt NRCA, Aust & NZ Ch Ubersein Tough T Tease (AI) ET, both multiple Best in Specialty Show winners. With her very loving nature, wonderful temperament and good looks, Elle is the foundation of the next generation born under the Schwartzhund prefix. And she's not too bad, for a Victorian ;-)

In loving memory

Tyra

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Taylors Top Model (AI)

Maverick's littermate sister, Tyra is a typey, well-constructed bitch with a lovely feminine head and free, easy movement — a multi V Rated and multi Class in Group winner, fully health screened.

In loving memory — 13 October 2024

Buster

Schwartzhund Taylors Top Choice (AI)

Litter brother to Maverick and Tyra, Buster was every bit the Rottweiler we hope to breed — solid, sound and steady, with a big heart and an easy way about him. He went to the Hooper family and was loved to the end, spending his life as a treasured companion: at the lake, out with the horses, and always right by his people. Rest easy, big man.

In loving memory

Mae

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Gretl

Mae took her Australian Championship title at just 16 months and has never looked back — V1 and multi V Rated, multi Class in Group winner, and completely sound on health testing.

In loving memory

Cashel

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Cashel CD ET BH

Cashel was the first born under the Schwartzhund prefix — a bitch with a beautiful demeanour who loved to please. She was awarded Puppy in Show at the 1996 Rottweiler National in Victoria, our first ever interstate show, with a puppy from my first ever litter. The most enjoyable bitch to work: she absolutely loved it, in fact she would push me to work faster by barking at me, losing us six points at one trial. Cashel was, and always will be, My Girl — loved and missed forever.

In loving memory

Ruby

Schwartzhund Ruby Lee

Ruby was shown only sparingly — she hated it, so there are no great accolades to record. What she lacked in the show ring she more than made up for at home. She was the Dam to Cleo (Schwartzhund Einzelkind) — one puppy, just as her name implies — and she was a fabulous, loving dog.

In loving memory — 14/10/2013

Cleo

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Einzelkind

Cleo — Australian Champion Schwartzhund Einzelkind — was the last of the docked Schwartzhund Rottweilers, born 25 March 2002. Her name, Einzelkind, means 'only child' — and true to it, she was Ruby's one and only puppy. When tail docking was banned on 1 April 2004, I was getting out of the breed… 24 years later, here we still are. Cleo went on to be the Dam of Moe (and Larry and Curly), cementing her place at the very heart of the Schwartzhund line.

In loving memory

Liza

Schwartzhund Nemesis

A much-loved Schwartzhund girl. Her full show record, health results and photographs will be added here shortly.
