Rottweiler male, World Champion, Astor Von Junipera by Frozen semen exclusively at our Rottweiler kennel. He is one of the world famous Rottweiler males in the history of the breed and have mated over 1000 females in his life time. He has won the strongest “Intermediate” class at the International Federation of Rottweiler Friends (IFR) WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Show 2009 and later went on to become the IFR Champion of the world in 2010. The Rottweiler kennel, Von Junipera, was one of the first Serbian kennels to make name on the world stage, founded and owned by Tibor Gere who has an excellent reputation in the Rottweiler world and who later aspired to become a top Rottweiler specialist judge. Astor was later sold to one of today’s well known Croatian kennels, Von Der Alten Festung who is owned and operated by our good friends Vladimir Zec and his wife Lidija both who are Rottweilers specialist judges. Vladimir and Lidija to date have owned 3 of the biggest world champions in the history of the breed, Astor Von Junipera being one of them, and all of which we currently own semen of and whom we’re looking forward to use in our breeding program. Astor is known to produce beautiful heads, excellent bone, dark eyes, black mouth pigment, high driven temperaments and very athletic dogs.
At Vanaheim Rottweilers we carefully select stud dogs and use them to compliment the right bitch they are put over. This reiterates how important it is to us to plan all of our litters and ensure we move forward with our breeding program by producing pups that are superior to their parents. An old breeder that is very knowledgable once told me, “if a pup is not an improvement on the mother or father it’s no point in keeping it in your kennel”. We always on the lookout to source and acquire semen from the highest caliber dogs from kennels and breeders from all around the world all with a view to ensure we advance our kennel and bloodlines and sustain the future of our kennel and maintain our competitive edge in the ring. We do all of the above without sacrificing the importance of building and maintaining long-term valued relationships with both local and international breeders.
