CRAFFENHEIM KARMEN OF TIBRA HD00

( KARMEN )

Karmen is the flagship of our kennel. She is a very large framed female with a good head. She is line bred Chanteur Valnui the sire of her grandfather Chanteur Dokai GV YGV BA. Dokai is a large male and in his lifetime won both the Senior and Junior Grand Victor.

Most of our dogs carry a fair proportion of Dokai blood. Karmen breed high quality, large type Rottweilers. Tibra Apollo, a male out of her first litter went on to become the 2007 puppy of the year. We kept the three females out of her first litter for ourselves.

CRAFFENHEIM FASKIA OF VONGERSHAN HD00

( FASKIA)

We were fortunate to acquire Faskia from the Vongershan kennel. Her sire is Disco vom Bamberger – Tal. Disco goes back to the famous Mambo von der Teufelsbrucke.

On her dam side she has a lot of Chanteur blood. Faskia might lack bone and her head could be better but she is one of the most correct females that I have come across.

Combined with that she has a lot of drive and very good movement. She is an excellent mother and always gives larger than average litters.

VONGERSHAN ANNABEL HD00

( ANNABEL)

Vongershan bred a litter out of Dokai and their champion female CH Vongershan Casia. Vongershan kept four, which is known as the A-team.

Annabel is out of the same litter but  was sold to the world-renowned Von Sophia's kennel.

After the passing of Me Langen of Von Sophia's we were lucky to pick four females to buy of which Annabel was one.

The fact that Me Langen, with her years of experience picked her is testimony to her quality.

VONSOPHIAS LARA OF TIBRA HD00

(LARA)

 Lara is one of the females that we picked from Vonsophias. She is not very big and her head could have been better. However we think that we know why all Vonsophias females of the latter years are not very big. Me Langen had the practice to breed females very young, younger than the prescribed age. By doing this she evaluated the mother ability of the female before she had the hips x-rayed. This was a very good line of thinking but by doing it she stunned the growth of the individual.

Lara was not picked for her looks, her pedigree made us pick her. Three of the all time best Rottweiler males that Vonsophias bred are in her family tree Vonsophias Bulli , Vonsophias Kazan , Vonsopias Warhero.

STERINA ILSE OF TIBRA (ILSE)

 And

 STARINA ISABEL OF TIBRA

(ISABEL)

We bought these two females from outside to broaden our genetic base.

Their sire is Starina Hagen, a Dokai son.

Their dam, Tara von Dreckburg, was imported and come from very good bloodstock.

On her sire side she goes back to Wotan von Hause Sommer, which is out of DT. VDH CH Balou vom Silberblick and Abby von Hause Sommer. Her dam’s sire is OJCH-HJCH-HCH-BK HCH INT. CH Mirko vom Calibra. They are not very big but move very well and are extremely well tempered.

TIBRA AGATHA

(AGGIE)

Aggie is the best female that we bred so far.

She looks like the picture that we have in our mind of how our dogs should look like.

She is huge with a good head, strong legs with a lot of bone, clear markings and an excellent temperament.

Aggie is out of Karmen and a dog-called Vongershan Carlo.Carlo was bred out of Mipret Dingo of Vongershan whose sire is CH. LUX. INT. CH Ragner v.d. Falkonsnest.

Carlo’s dam was Vonsophias M-Manja a CH Vonsophias Mirlen daughter and one of the Vongershan Rottweilers foundation females.

VONGERSHAN FLY TO MUSIC HD01 (MUSIC)

Music is a huge female out of Faskia and Chanteur Dokai. Her breeding is in line with our philosophy of mating large dogs with correct dogs in order to breed them bigger without the faults.

Music’s head is already better than her mother’s and with the right male she will definitely breed keepers.

TIBRA ANNELINE

(ANNIE)

Annie is also out of Karmen and Carlo. She is not that huge and a more middle of the road, correct female. Her tan is not that well defined but we will make sure to breed her to males with very distinct markings. Annie has very good temperament, she is HD00 and she will no doubt play a major role in our breeding program for years to come.

TIBRA AMELIA (AMMIE)

Ammie is a big female. She is testing the maximum height as set out by the standard of excellence for the breed. We will always mate her with smaller males to keep the pups correct.

Ammie like her two sisters Aggie and Annie has a good temperament.

She has a good head and her markings are very well defined.

KILAAB BELLA OF TIBRA.

(BELLA)

Bella is a Chanteur Bouka daughter that we bought from a kennel in Cape Town. Bouka was the Grand Victor 1993 and was bred out of CH Vongottenburg Boris.

Bella is not a big female but she is very well muscheled.

She has a lot of drive and her movement is unsurpassed.

VONGERSHAN DESIRE OF TIBRA.

(DEZI ) 

Dezi is a beautiful female bred by Shani Smit out of her champion female Vongershan Casia and the champion sire Chanteur Dokai.

This mating is the same as her famous A – team. Casia passed away recently and Dokai is out of service so these high quality females are the last of their kind.

VONSOPHIAS F – APRIL HD00

(APRIL)

April was also not picked on looks but her pedigree. Her sire side is not something that you come along everyday and we wanted to get some of it in our dogs. Her sire was Fallon v.d. Runderkraal imported from Holland. Fallon’s sire and grandsire was INT CH. VDH.CH-O. CH IFR WSG IPO 111 Doc von der Teufelsbrucke and INT. OOST Benno von der Schwarzen Heide.

STARINA JESSIE OF TIBRA

(JESS)

Jess is out of the very scarce Ragner v.d. Falconsnest bloodline. This sire bred very high quality dogs and we want to breed a Ragner line next to the Dokai line.

In order to achieve this, we must get our hands on as many of these progeny as possible. Her dam is out of an imported female and overseas male. Jess was unlucky to injure her leg when she was a little younger but despite that she is turning out as we thought she would

VONSOPHIAS J – JOSIE

(JOSIE)

Josie is also one of the females we were privileged to obtain from Vonsophias.

Again like the other Vonsophia females she is no showstopper but her breeding is what we are after. Her bloodlines make her very special for us. She is on the sire side out of three champions of which Doc von der Teufelsbrucke is one. Her dam is out of Vonsophias Bulli and the well-known CH Vonsophias Mirlin.

VONGERSHAN BONITA OF TIBRA

(MOLLY)

We got Molly from Shani as a puppy. She was out of a litter of just three and some of the last Carlo offspring. Molly’s dam is Vongershan Aqua one of the famous A – Team.

Molly’s tan marks could have been better defined but she possesses so many good points that we predict she will become one of the cornerstones of our kennel. She has a wonderful temperament, good movement and she is solidly built.
