When breeding dogs, proper nutrition plays an utmost important role, just as important as it does on humans . Proper Canine specific nutrition of the male and the female prior to the breeding, as well as during the gestation and lactation period of the female is an important pro-active step towards prevention of future health problems and break downs in the offspring.  
 All our dogs are being maintained on a natural diet provided by the ABADY company, that contains a high amount of  raw meat and raw fish. Our puppies are being strictly raised on a raw meat formulation in order to get off to the best possible start right from the "Get Go".  They will then,  at approx. 12 to 16 weeks of age, 
gradually transferred over to anyone of ABADY's excellent dry feeds mixed with large amounts of raw meat or raw fish. Our feeding approach is as close as it gets to the diet taking place in the nature.
  In terms of nutrition we believe in two simple rules:  

 1) The best is just good enough.
2) Become your Dogs Best Friend and your Veterinarians most seldom customer.

"Vom Maegdeberg Rottweilers"  absolutely does not  want to contribute to the negative reputation of the Rottweiler breed. We therefore only  welcome puppy inquiries from disciplined, mature and responsible people.  
Prior to contacting us kindly review these questions 

Are you and your family prepared to take on the responsibility to care for a Rottweiler for it's entire life?

Aside from the basics of care (affection, proper housing, nutrition, training and exercise), you must remember that the Rottweiler is a "Schutzhund" (protection) dog, not a lap dog.  As the owner of a "Schutzhund" dog, you must be fully accountable for your dog's actions.  That means you will not only train the dog to be a good canine citizen, you will also make sure he is under your supervision and control at all times.  Originally bred as a herding and protection dog, the true Rottweiler still possesses these basic instincts.  This does NOT mean the Rottweiler is vicious--quite the contrary, the Rottweiler must be mentally stable, yet always alert and ready to protect its master and home.  A dog like this requires a knowledgeable and disciplined owner, who understands the importance of proper care, socialization, training and breeding.  Without this knowledge, owning a Rottweiler could be a frustrating and difficult experience.  However, if you have a well-bred, top quality dog and the knowledge of how to bring out the best in him, you should be prepared to have the best dog you've ever known!

Do you have enough experience, and the time to take part in proper training?  Do you have sufficient space for a Rottweiler?  Rottweilers require space to run and play in order to release their energy.

An intelligent, physically healthy and powerful Rottweiler requires plenty of exercise (physical and mental) and human companionship.  Building a good relationship with your dog is time well spent.  Without it you'll find the dog becomes bored and destructive.  If you MUST kennel your dog every day, then you MUST also spend some concentrated quality time to release accumulated energy that otherwise will be quite destructive.  A fenced yard is necessary (so that the dog is not running loose all over the neighborhood), but it is not enough to just open the kennel door and let the dog out.  YOU must spend quality time with your dog (playing, training, exercising, etc.)  This is very critical, especially with Rottweilers.   If you cannot provide the time necessary to have a physically and mentally healthy dog, please do not buy a Rottweiler.  A non-working breed may suit you better.

Is a Rottweiler right for you and your family?  What reactions might appear in your surroundings if you have a Rottweiler?

This is NOT a breed for everyone, and you must consider your own personality, physical environment and emotional needs before you decide to acquire a Rottweiler.  When you come to us for a Rottweiler, we evaluate both the dog and you (the prospective owner) for compatibility and suitability for each other.  This is a lifetime companion and commitment.  Choose your dog as carefully as you would choose a best friend and soul mate.

Can you afford in a long-term view, all costs associated with raising and maintaining a dog?

You are responsible for every aspect of your dog's life:  grooming, feeding, exercise, training, veterinary care, licensing, affection, etc.  He will be a member of your family, and should be cared for accordingly;  nothing less is acceptable for a "Vom Maegdeberg"  Rottweiler.  When you acquire a Rottweiler, you should consider the breeder as your link to responsible and fulfilling dog ownership.  At "Vom Maegdeberg" Rottweilers  we gladly provide information and guidance about nutrition, training, housing, care, equipment, and future breeding advise.

Well, if you are still convinced that the Rottweiler is the ideal dog for you and you are ready to own one, give us a call at (845)-695-2059 or send us an e-mail. 
We are sure a "Vom Maegdeberg" Rottweiler will meet your expectations 
and make a great addition to your household.
