RoseHaven Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Marnie R., the breeder behind RoseHaven Kennel located in Columbus, OH. We breed the working line German Shepherd’s dog and compete them in Schutzhund; the civilian sport of the police/protection dog and breed test. We breed to the German Standard and all of our dogs come with a complete health and temperament guarantee. We raise and train our dogs in our home underfoot. We occasionally have puppies, older pups in training and trained adults available. We put a lot of work and effort into our dogs and as such they are a precious and integral part of our family. This gives us an intimate knowledge of their health, temperament and capabilities. Consequently, we are discerning about potential new owners. We offer dogs for both the private sector such as families and home protection and Schutzhund, law enforcement, military and search and rescue groups.

They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
RoseHaven Kennel 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 German Shepherds.
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.
Dentition
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
