About Our Puppies
Craffenheim Rottweiler Puppies
Ethical Rottweiler Breeder in South Africa
Where Life Begins
At Craffenheim Rottweilers, every puppy arrives as a blessing— a tiny black-and-tan bear carrying the spirit of generations. From the moment they take their first breath, they are loved, protected, and cherished.
“No dam ever whelps alone.” I am beside her through the entire journey so her experience is peaceful, safe, and respected.
Health, Ethics & Heart
Our puppies are occasionally available to approved homes and are fully KUSA registered, with both dam and sire fully health tested.
We personally uphold higher standards than KUSA requirements:
We choose health, longevity, and soundness above everything else.
A Calm, Safe Beginning
Our whelping environment is designed to protect mothers and babies:
I step in only when needed—cleaning, weighing, assisting feeding, or supporting a tired mama. Puppies stay with their mother until 8–10 weeks. As a trained surgical nurse, early medical support is immediate. Our veterinarians at Newcastle Veterinary Hospital are available whenever needed.
Every life matters deeply—strong or struggling—each receives full dedication.
Early Health & Development
We believe good health begins at birth:
Small details create strong foundations.
Happy Mums Raise Happy Pups
Our girls receive excellent care long before motherhood:
Fresh, natural food
Organic supplements
Exercise, rest, and emotional support
Swimming, walks, farm adventures
Our females are not breeding dogs—they are family.
Natural Weaning & Confident Growing
We follow nature. When mom reduces feeding, we gently support pups with raw food while allowing milk for as long as she chooses. Many enjoy the last sip just before leaving at 8–10 weeks.
Proper Vetting & Microchipping
Before leaving:
Owners deserve peace of mind.
Confidence, Adventure & Enrichment
Our pups grow up in a stimulating environment that includes:
We assess individual temperament so families are matched with the right puppy.
A Lifelong Commitment
A Rottweiler requires:
Quality food
Veterinary care
Daily training
Exercise and stimulation
Emotional stability
A Rottweiler is not an impulse purchase—it is a companion for life.
We support owners 24/7/365. Every pup is remembered, loved, and welcomed into our extended family.
