Great-Brittain BRITISH ROTTWEILER ASSOCIATION The British Rottweiler Association was founded in 1971. Geographically it covers the whole of Great Britain and draws members from this wide area as well as abroad. It has a numerically steady membership made up from show and working enthusiasts as well as general companion dog owners. The Association was set up to safeguard the breed by promoting responsible ownership and offering support and advice to all Rottweiler owners through training classes, newsletters, telephone and e-mail. The board of the BRITISH ROTTWEILER ASSOCIATION : Secretary : Margaret Yates, margaret@yatesmargaret.wanadoo.co.uk Pedrigrees Breed clubs in the UK do not issue pedigrees. Certified pedigrees can be obtained from the Kennel Club at a cost and these only contain information recognised by the KC. Most breeders produce their own pedigrees and these include details of health checks, titles, etc. Registrations: In order to register puppies with the Kennel Club, both parents should themselves be registered with the KC or, where the sire is an overseas dog, the breeder must submit an official three generation pedigree of the sire issued by the appropriate overseas Kennel Club.

Breedingregulations. The Association does not operate a system of Breed Suitability Tests but has produced a charter for breeders to encourage the breeding of healthy Rottweilers, both physically and mentally. The charter is advisory not mandatory but it is expected that members should adhere to it when breeding their animals. Members are also encouraged to participate in character assessments.
