Meet the breeder

I'm Shawn R., the breeder behind CenturionOne LLC located in York, SC. At CenturionOne Kennels we strive to produce top notch Rottweilers. Our puppies are from the top bloodlines, raised in our home, and introduced to wide variety of experiences ensuring your puppy will be a confident, and have a stable temperament, ready to be your best friend and fiercest defender.

Q. & A. with Shawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a teen I fell in love with Rottweilers and dreamed of one day becoming a breeder & trainer. 4 years ago, after a long time without, I acquired a beautiful female pup. She turned out to be extraordinarily beautiful and smart with an excellent pedigree. A year later, I again was blessed with a massive handsome male who's pedigree was full of legends. So my dream of breeding Rottweilers came true.

  • What makes your program special?

    As a Psychology teacher and long time football & track coach, maximizing potential has been an intense focus. It is here that my profession and hobby are intertwined. I love the developmental processes and enjoy providing progressive stimuli, to encourage our puppies physiological and neurological development and socialization. I take excellent genetics and turbo-charge it with socialization.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black and mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Getting a puppy from Shawn

Shawn has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Shawn partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“We use Volhard's Puppy Aptitude test to estimate each puppies relative temperament. This test is far from full-proof and a puppy that might be best suited for a working/sport home might just have an off day. A pup best suited as a pet might be feeling aggressive that day. so we combine the results from the temperament test with our observations to create a scouting report for each pup. We then do our best to recommend to each of our clients, the pup that best matches each clients family, goals, and home. All that being said, each client gets to pick their pup based on the order in which we receive the deposit. Ultimately is is still the choice of the client.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price of $2000 purchases a pick in order in which we receive your deposit. $2500 is for priority 1st pick male and/or female and is reserved for working/show homes only. Deposits are NON-refundable but can be transferred to another litter.”

Contract & health guarantee

Shawn may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Shawn offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Shawn directly.

    I was able to discuss our family's specific guardian dog needs with Shawn. He was very knowledgeable and was able to pair us with one of his dogs that had a more "guardian" personality. I really liked that he did extra handling with the pups and did a personality evaluation. This step is really important when searching for a dog that will not spoke easily and have an inquisitive nature. It was nice to meet the mother of the pups when picking up our dog. His dogs are all very sweet and have a wonderful home. Shawn has continued to answer my questions via txt, showing that he really cares about how my family is doing with the puppy and making sure it has been a good match. I would definitely recommend his kennel to others in search of a great family dog.

    Shawn was very easy to work with. He was very knowledgeable about the breed. The puppy seemed well taken care of as he was healthy, had a good temperament and was raised in the proper facilities. Shawn was very responsive when we requested to see the pup and ended up taking him home that day! Highly recommended this breeder.
