I'm Michael P., the breeder behind Maniac Kennels located in Maryland. I breed well-rounded Rottweilers that can be family pets, working dogs, or show dogs. The health of my dogs is very important to me; I do health testing on my dogs and offer a one-year genetic health guarantee.
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
I love my dogs and the strength of their breed. I knew that I wanted to be involved with the breed, and share them with others.
What makes your program special?
We love and care about all of our dogs, and only want the best for them. With this, we provide our puppies with lots of enrichment and socialization to help prepare them for future families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Maniac Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Rottweilers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Juvenile Laryngeal Paralysis & Polyneuropathy (JLPP), DNA Profile
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
