1989. It has as members, all specialist Rottweiler Clubs
which are affiliated to KUSA.
The
RBC exists to improve the Rottweiler Breed of Dog in South
Africa, to help all existing and potential Rottweiler owners

the public at large about this wonderful breed of dog.
There
are certain breeding guidelines advised by the RBC and adopted
by KUSA which pertain to not breeding any Rottweiler
before a minimum age has been achieved and
the hips have been x-rayed to establish the degree of hip
dysplasia if any.
Certain recommendations and rules exist in order for a
litter to be registered with KUSA. All information can be obtained
from the RBC Secretary, Chris Pretorius 021-8514303 (phone/fax), or any of the RBC officers listed below.
