Vom Jochmorney Rottweilers

Vom Jochmorney Rottweiler Kennels is a dedicated Rottweiler breeder in South Africa near the Vaal Dam, Gauteng. We specialise in breeding healthy, well-socialised Rottweiler puppies from strong bloodlines with excellent temperament and breed structure.

Our focus is responsible breeding, early puppy development, and matching families with loyal, protective, and loving Rottweilers.

Our Story

Vom Jochmorney Rottweilers was founded from a deep respect & admiration for the Rottweiler breed. Known for their loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature, Rottweilers deserve responsible breeding that preserves their best qualities. Based on this passion for Rottweilers with balanced temperaments & sound bodies, VJM Rottweilers strive to breed dogs that are not only beautiful but functional, loving, and well-adjusted for any home environment.

What We Do

We are a small, focused breeding kennel based out of Gauteng, allowing us to give every dog and puppy individual attention, proper care, and early socialisation.

We breed Rottweilers that are:
✔ Loyal family protectors
✔ Confident and stable in temperament
✔ Structurally sound and true to breed standard

Breeding Philosophy

Not all Rottweiler puppies are equal — careful selection, health testing, and early imprinting matter deeply for character and longevity.

We believe responsible breeding means:

• Prioritising health and temperament
• Never overbreeding our females
• Raising puppies in clean, enriched environments
• Matching puppies carefully with the right families

Our Commitment

When you get a puppy from Cam’s Kennels, you’re not just getting a dog — you’re gaining a trusted breeder for life.

We dedicate ourselves to:
• Caring for our dogs like family
• Planning matings responsibly
• Supporting new owners long after sale

  • Ethical, Responsible Breeding

    We breed selectively with health, temperament, and longevity as top priorities.

  • Health Comes First

    Parent dogs are screened and puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and vet checks.

  • Family Environment

    Our puppies are socialised with people and everyday household activity from an early age.

  • Lifetime Support

    We don’t just sell puppies — we support our owners for life by providing continuous assistance & help services.

Our Health Guarantee

At Vom Jochmorney Rottweiler, the health and well-being of our puppies is a top priority. We are committed to responsible breeding practices and giving every puppy the strongest possible start in life.

Our Health Commitment

We carefully select our breeding dogs based on health, temperament, and breed quality. Wherever applicable, parent dogs undergo relevant health screenings to reduce the risk of hereditary conditions and support long-term soundness.

Before going to their new homes, each puppy receives:

✔ A full general health check
✔ Age-appropriate vaccinations
✔ Routine deworming
✔ Monitoring for healthy growth and development

Our goal is to ensure every puppy leaves us healthy, confident, and well-adjusted.

Health Guarantee

We provide a written health guarantee that covers the puppy at the time of collection. This confirms that your puppy has been examined and is healthy to the best of our knowledge before joining your family.

We also encourage new owners to schedule a veterinary check-up shortly after bringing their puppy home to establish ongoing care with their local vet.

What You'll Go Home With

Each Vom Jochmorney puppy leaves our kennel with a starter pack to help ease the transition into their new home:

• Vaccination record booklet
• Feeding guidelines
• A small supply of current puppy food
• A blanket or item with the litter scent
• Guidance on routine, care, and early training

This helps your puppy settle in more comfortably during the first few days.

Lifetime Breeder Support

Our responsibility does not end when your puppy leaves. We are always available to provide advice and guidance on training, nutrition, and general care throughout your dog’s life.

We believe responsible breeding includes supporting both our puppies and the families who welcome them.

Important Health Checks

Hip Dysplasia

Genetics is vitally important in the Rottweiler  breed,  hip and elbow dysplasia is majorly avoidable by breeding only dogs that are free from HD and ED.

Genetics can however only do so much for a dog, and you as the owner must ensure that the correct nutrition is given to your puppy.  Over feeding and rapid growth will put your pup at risk of developing Hip and Elbow dysplasia. Keep your puppy lean.!!! It is recommended to feed a veterinarian formulated puppy food up to the age of 2 years.

Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip joint is not formed properly, where  the ball for the femur (the thigh bone) does not fit properly into the socket on the pelvis. Hip dysplasia begins within the first few months of life whilst the bones are forming. Although there are genetic factors that determine  whether or not your dog will have Hip dysplasia,  nutrition is a very important factor, imbalance of calcium and phosphorous, two very important minerals for bone growth, as well as to high protein content and growing too fast, can be severely detrimental to bone development in dogs who are already predisposed by genetics to developing HD.

To much exercise for a growing puppy can also cause trauma to the joints as they are developing, long jogs and hard surfaces are definitely not good for joint development but short bouts of low impact exercise, especially swimming can help muscle development and decrease the risk for HD.

Unfortunately it is impossible to guarantee hips and elbows, we do however guarantee that the parents have Certified Clear hips and were approved for breeding by the Kennel Union.

LEMP (NAPEPLD)

Leukoencephalomyelopathy LEMP (NAPEPLD) is a juvenile-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system described in the Rottweiler. Affected dogs present with ataxia and loss of conscious proprioception, recessive inheritance requires two copies of the mutant allele to develop the disease.

It is therefor important to test breeding dogs to ensure healty offspring. Please note a clear can breed to a carrier, but two carriers may not be bred.

Juvenile-Onset Laryngeal Paralysis and Polyneuropathy (JLPP)

A disease that occurs in young Rottweilers, JLPP affects neurological signalling that travels from the brain through the nerves.

Why is it important to test breeding dogs?

It is important to test for the disease as it is always fatal to affected puppies. There is no cure. Symptoms can start to manifest at 12 weeks of age but may take longer. Most affected puppies die before 1 year of age. This means the breeder can not tell without DNA test if a puppy is effected. Before buying a Rottweiler puppy make sure that the parents has been tested JLPP Clear.

How is it inherited?

JLPP is recessive which means that both parents have to be carriers of the JLPP gene in order to produce and affected puppy.  If one parent is a carrier then the breeding will produce both carrier and clear puppies (but not affected). If both parents are clear then breeding will produce only clear puppies.

All our dogs are JLPP tested.

Understanding Growth Plates

Growth plates are soft areas located at the ends of the long bones in puppies and young dogs. Their job is to be filled with cells that allow your puppy's bones to become longer and dense; the way these cells work is by dividing themselves until they fill the growth plate. Once your puppy fully matures (usually around 18 months or longer for giant dog breeds) growth plates close and become a stable part of the bone.

Too much exercise can be risky for a puppy's growth plates, if an injury occurs these cells might slow down their growth or simply stop growing. So while 3 of your dog's legs are growing at a normal, healthy rate, the remaining leg might not fully do so causing future issues such as uneven pressure and a predisposition to arthritis. 

The five-minute rule seeks to prevent damage on a puppy's growth plates while still providing your pup with an amount of exercise that is suitable for their age.
