The Rottweilers

Rotties have had a lot of bad press in the past. We actively work to promote the true image of the breed which is one of a healthy, obedient, loyal and loving dog. When we breed, we breed from lines that for generations have produced the quality of dog that does credit to it's breed name and to it's kennel name. We do not nor ever will breed purely to make a profit from our dogs. Nor do we rehome dogs once they are past their showing potential. At present we have 5 dogs over the age of 7 in retirement in our home. When puppies are available potential owners are made aware that they are NOT buying a puppy but are hoping to adopt one of our kids! Health screens are undertaken on both parents before a litter is bred and puppies are screened in the first few weeks of life. Docking is now banned in the UK, so pups now proudly wave their lovely tails.

Gone to wait at Rainbow Bridge:

With a sad heart I have to announce the passing of Audaxus The Saxon Sirene - our beloved Bilss. She passed away in her sleep, with me beside her, in the early hours of the morning of August 26th. She had reached the grand age of 13 years and 7 months old. Bliss was a great friend, never putting a foot wrong in her long life. I miss her sweet old face so much.

 

 

Welcome to the virtual home of the Audaxus family.

We are a small non-commercial. hobby kennel. Our dogs are our passion. For over 20 years we have owned, bred and loved Rottweilers. Nine years ago we added a second breed, the Lancashire Heeler, to our kennel. We now own, show and occasionally breed both Rottweilers and Lancashire Heelers. At present we have 8 Rottweilers and 10 Lancashire Heelers sharing our home with us. All our dogs live in the house as cherished family pets - they are our pets first and show dogs second! You don't come into our home if you don't like dogs, mind getting covered in dog hair and slobber or are offended by a Rottie or Heeler wanting to sit beside you on the sofa to make friends or share your cup of tea.

Above are two of our latest pups from Harriet - Ruby and Merlyn - born May 21st 2009. At the last champ show of 2009 (LKA) Ruby was 1st in her Minor Puppy Bitch class, brother Merlyn was 4th in his Minor Puppy Dog class. Ruby will be joining her older brothers and sister (Rory, George and Bella) at Crufts 2010. Also joining us will be another litter brother to Ruby - Odin - owned and adored by Trevor Payne and Della Crane.

Rory, George and Bella will once again be srutting their stuff at Crufts and upholding the family's good name in the KC's Good Citizen's Award classes at Crufts too. We very much look forward ro seeing all our friends, family and supporters at the NEC on March 11th.

It is with saddness that I have to announce that we lost 3 of our 'golden oldies' last year. We said goodbye to our dear old Tilly in May after a long life with us. In Septembr Fitz left us after a long battle with a bladder tumor - he was just a few weeks short of his 11th birthday. Elizabeth, his litter sister, just didn't want to go on without her lovable brother to look after and she left us in early October, aged 11 years. We shall miss our old friends every day but have a wealth of happy memories to look back on.

Goodbye my old sweethearts - I think of you every day and my heart aches with the missing of you.

Above are three of our younger Heelers. The very handsome chap on the right of the picture is Buster with 1CC and 2 Res CC's to his credit so far. We are fortunate enough to have one young male who has DNA tested as Clear and will be avilable at stud to suitable bitches in 2010. He is a proven dog - and we have his daughter with us. Rhea is a consistantly highly placed bitch both at Champ and Open shows.
