Understanding the health history of rottweiler puppies for sale is essential for responsible ownership.
All of our breeding dogs are tested and certified through recognized organizations including the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and PennHIP. These organizations have established criteria that help to evaluate the hip and elbow health of dogs, and we adhere strictly to these guidelines. Below is a breakdown of the tests we perform on every dog in our program, underscoring our commitment to breeding healthy Rottweilers who will not only meet the breed standard but also excel in their roles as companions.
Regular eye certifications contribute to the overall health of rottweiler puppies for sale from our program.
🦴 Hips & Elbows (OFA / PennHIP)
Hip and elbow dysplasia are among the most common heritable conditions in Rottweilers. To mitigate this risk, all of our breeding dogs receive OFA or PennHIP hip evaluations and OFA elbow evaluations prior to their first breeding. We only breed dogs with passing scores (OFA Fair, Good, or Excellent; or PennHIP in the top 40th percentile for the breed). This careful selection process ensures that our puppies have a strong foundation, minimizing the likelihood of dysplasia and related issues later in life. Additionally, we encourage new Rottweiler owners to keep their pets active and engaged to promote joint health.
We are committed to ensuring that rottweiler puppies for sale are tested for any genetic diseases.
❤️ Cardiac Evaluation (OFA Heart)
All breeding dogs undergo a cardiac examination by a board-certified cardiologist. Results are submitted to OFA and must be clear of congenital heart defects before any dog enters our breeding program. This assessment is crucial, as it eliminates the risk of passing on heart conditions to our puppies. We believe that understanding a dog’s health history is vital for current and future owners, and being proactive about cardiac health is a responsibility we take seriously.
👁️ Eye Certification (OFA CAER)
Annual CAER (Companion Animal Eye Registry) exams are performed by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist to screen for hereditary eye conditions including cataracts, entropion, and ectropion. These conditions can severely impact a dog’s quality of life, making regular eye examinations essential. By ensuring that our breeding dogs pass these tests, we strive to produce puppies that not only conform to breed standards but also lead healthy, active lives free from unnecessary health issues.
🧬 DNA & Genetic Testing
We utilize DNA testing through Embark or Paw Print Genetics to screen for known genetic diseases in the Rottweiler breed, including:
Proper dentition is crucial for all rottweiler puppies for sale, ensuring their lifelong health.
This advanced testing allows us to identify specific genetic markers that could indicate a predisposition to certain health conditions. By knowing the genetic status of our breeding dogs, we can make informed decisions that will enhance the health and vitality of future generations of Rottweilers.
Each of our rottweiler puppies for sale comes with health certifications, ensuring a healthy start.
- Juvenile Laryngeal Paralysis & Polyneuropathy (JLPP) — all breeding dogs are tested and only Clear or Carrier x Clear pairings are made
- Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
- von Willebrand Disease (vWD)
- Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC)
🦷 Dentition & Conformation
All dogs are evaluated for correct Rottweiler dentition (full scissor bite, 42 teeth) and breed-standard conformation. Dogs with disqualifying faults are not bred. Proper dentition is essential for overall health and function, contributing to a dog’s ability to eat, chew, and maintain a strong jaw. By adhering to the breed standard, we aim to produce Rottweilers that not only look the part but also embody the characteristics that make the breed so beloved.

Every Rottweiler Chronicles puppy is born from two health-tested, OFA-certified parents. This dramatically reduces — though cannot entirely eliminate — the risk of heritable conditions. Each puppy leaves with a wealth of resources that every responsible pet owner should cherish:
- A copy of both parents health certificates and OFA numbers
