Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Von MK Rottweilers 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.

  • 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    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.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Juvenile Laryngeal Paralysis & Polyneuropathy (JLPP)

    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).

    We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and could not be happier that we found our Rottweiler puppy through Cliffton on GoodDog! From the very beginning, it was clear that he is an experienced, ethical, and extremely knowledgeable breeder who truly cares about the quality and well-being of his dogs. Cliffton took the time to answer every question we had and clearly knows the breed inside and out — from temperament and health to proper socialization and training foundations. The puppies are exceptional quality: confident, intelligent, well-socialized, and already showing how smart and eager to learn they are. Our puppy has an amazing temperament and fits perfectly into our family, which speaks volumes about the care and intentional breeding behind these dogs. You can tell these puppies are raised with attention, structure, and love. If you’re looking for a high-quality Rottweiler from a breeder who is passionate, ethical, and truly invested in producing outstanding dogs, I cannot recommend Cliffton highly enough. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and our puppy.
