I've always loved Rottweilers, at least ever since my first one, Zara, that my parents bought me when I was still a young boy. My wife bought me one for our first Christmas together as a married couple - Maggie. She was our first baby, and was treated just like our child until our boys came along. Maggie got cancer in 2007 and we had to put her down. I started looking to replace her in 2008 and after contacting a few breeders and seeing a few dogs I finally found my next baby...
Shani Smit of Vongershan, a breeder in Ermelo had 3 puppies, 2 that she planned to keep for breeding and showing, and one that she was looking to sell. She told me via email that the pup had hair that was slightly too long for showing, so she was selling her for less than normal. I was quite happy with that, I have no interest in showing dogs, and was only interested in getting a well bred Rottie so that we had no problems with hip dysplasia.
This is the first pic that she sent me of my slightly too furry Weiler...
