I'm Tony R., the breeder behind Von alter Schönheit located in Avondale, AZ. I’m an experienced dog breeder who’s worked with several breeds. I truly fell in love with the Rottweiler. The loyalty, strength, & loving nature captured my heart. I focus healthy, well-socialized Rottweilers, dedicated to preserve the breed’s qualities & provide families with lifelong companions.
Q. & A. with Tony
Why did you start breeding?
My journey with dogs began about 27 years ago. Over the years, I’ve whelped and raised countless litters—both for myself and in collaboration with established breeders. About seven years ago, I fell in love with the Rottweiler, and they've held a special place in my heart ever since.
What makes your program special?
A responsible breeder’s goal is to produce a well-balanced Rottweiler, with temperament as the top priority. This is the standard I hold myself to.
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.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Von alter Schönheit 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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
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.
