VON EVMAN ROTTWEILERS, Evie & Manson Johnson, are Code of Ethics breeders. Our goal is to breed healthy, well-tempered, good looking, correct in type, and intelligent dogs. If you study our website, you will find information on ALL of our dogs that we breed. The dogs we breed have their hips and other parts certified "IN AMERICA" with the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) which is stricter than other countries.

We have the reputation of breeding Rottweilers that have a long life expectancy. Champ, our son, is 15 1/2 years old which is the oldest living Rottweiler ever recorded. We breed a certain "OLD" German bloodline which is one of the purest bloodlines with the least genetic defects. This means that if you adopt one of our children, you will expect to have a healthy Rottweiler through his or her life time. Our dogs excel in all aspects of training and have beauty and brains.

Please browse through our website to gain more knowledge of us as a breeder and our Rottweilers. The website should answer any questions you may have. Visit our “Frequently Asked Questions". We have done our best to provide complete information and answer any questions you may have.

We are a member of The ARC (American Rottweiler club), USRC (United States Rottweiler Club), ARV (American Rottweiler Verein), DVG America, Schutzhund USA, and the Suncoast Rottweiler Club.

Our Rottweilers each have their own large fenced in yard and their own house so they can go inside and out as freely as they wish. We feel this is healthier than other breeders that keep their dogs inside a house or building locked up in cages where they can barely move. It is imperative for a dog to be able to go to the bathroom when they need and to exercise and play freely all day if they wish. Our bloodline and correct care has proven over the years to be more accurate care since our Rottweilers have a longer life span and are healthier than other breeders. They do come in the house to visit us and play and they go back to their own homes at night to sleep and play during the day while we are in the front of our property at our business, Eve’s Garden, Inc. which is one of the largest growers of Bonsai Trees and Lucky Bamboo. We supply Disney World, Walgreens and major Grocery stores throughout the United States. By keeping our hobby Rottweilers, we are able to keep the finest quality in breeding unlike other breeders that do it for a living that do unscrupulous things with their breeding program to pay their bills. Rottweilers are our LOVE and HOBBY, our business is Eve’s Garden, Inc.

Our whelping facility is a state of the art complex, separated from the other Rottweiler quarters where the mothers can quietly be very comfortable and deliver their puppies safely. The mothers have an indoor room and outdoor run so they can go in and out as they wish. Our whelping facility is designed to resemble a maternity ward decorated in pink and blue. A Veterinarian Laboratory is also in the whelping facility to perform tests on a regular basis to ensure the mothers and puppies health. Someone is with the mother and puppies 24 hours a day watching over them during the first few weeks.

At VON EVMAN ROTTWEILERS our goal in Rottweiler Breeding is to always strive to BETTER THE BREED. In other words, to produce a Rottweiler litter which is uniform in looks, size, and temperament. This does not occur by accident. Sometimes luck does enter into the picture and a beautiful Rottweiler is produced by two inferior parents. But this is nothing more than luck and will not be repeated by breeding this individual. The only way this can be done with any predictable consistency is by extensive knowledge of at least five generations in the pedigree of the Dam and Sire of your planned breeding. Such information should include temperament, size, weight, structure, movement, bite, hips, elbows, eye, patella certification, thyroid functioning, and any titles attained in conformation and working.

The next question to be answered is where do these great looking, genetically matched, parents come from? They can be produced over a long period of time following the above mentioned methods. In our particular case, we imported the most famous and best producing dogs to compliment our program. Imported dogs today do not have the qualities that imported dogs had years ago since the great dogs were sold out of Europe for a large amount of money making the quality of their breeding program not as good as it was years ago. With the use of Frozen Semen we can continue breeding the great OLD German bloodlines.

Our Rottweiler Breeding Program began in the early 1980's. We studied the German ADRK Stud Books for many years before we purchased the Rottweilers. We saw that dogs which did most of the winning in both conformation and working shows were out of IVES EULENSPIEGEL bred to BENNO vom ALLGAUER TOR. So we looked for our foundation stock based on those two dogs. AMBOSS vom KONIGSSIEK was purchased because his mother LUCY von HOHENHAMELN, was a BENNO vom ALLGAUER TOR daughter and his father, AMBOSS vom SIEBERTAL, was a son of IVES. All of AMBOSS' litter-mates had good hips, good bites, and at two years of age, passed the ZTP, Breed Suitability Tests. Thus, we knew it was a good uniform litter with homogeneous gene pool.

Since Rottweiler breeding, in my opinion, is a lot like chess in that you must be several moves ahead of yourself in order to be successful; once AMBOSS vom KONIGSSIEK was purchased we began to look for another male out of IVES' lineage which would be the son of AMBOSS' mother's sister. That is how we found BENNO von der SCHWARZEN HEIDE. His father was SANTO vom SCHWAIGER WAPPEN, an IVES' grandson and his mother was LAILA vom HOHENHAMELN, a BENNO vom ALLGAUER TOR daughter and sister to AMBOSS' mother. We purchased BENNO at fourteen months of age and brought him to America over 3 years old after he became the World Sieger and the top producing Rottweiler in the European breed. Thus, our Rottweiler breeding strategy became breeding AMBOSS daughters to BENNO and BENNO daughters to AMBOSS.

Our next large move has been BIS, BISS, Select I, American / Canadian / International Champion CHAMP vom VILSTALER LAND, a BENNO grandson. The reason we made the decision to purchased CHAMP is because we wanted more bone, substance, and size in our line. CHAMP, in himself and his pedigree, brings up these qualities. We can breed both AMBOSS and BENNO daughters to CHAMP and keep the continuation or our original breeding plan. Thus, we were in a position to take our breeding program into the next generation. Please click Champ in the website and see all his great accomplishments and he is still alive at 151/2 years old, the oldest living rottweiler ever recorded.

Our next step to our Rottweiler breeding program was Krikarott JOCKEY vom Blackriesen. We needed a larger rounder head and a slight change in looks of the puppies. We also needed JOCKEY's line to complete the flow of mixing our old boys back into our bloodline by use of frozen semen.

Another important part of our Rottweiler breeding program is the use of frozen semen. We have collected AMBOSS, BENNO, CHAMP, and JOCKEY freezing their semen for the past several years. This gives us the ability to add them back into our breeding program whenever we desire to strengthen their traits in our line.

At VON EVMAN ROTTWEILERS, we do things differently. We always strive to be the best and GOD has answered our prayers with allowing us to own some of the Legends of the Breed.

We hope this information helps you learn more about Rottweilers and particularly VON EVMAN ROTTWEILERS. We are only a telephone call, fax, or an email away.

Have a Spirit-filled Day!
