The Rottweiler Club of NSW is dedicated to the training, socialising, advancement and protection of this wonderful breed through education and responsible ownership. For those of us who have had the pleasure of the company of our Rottweilers we have found a community of enthuasiatic owners and breeders with whom we can share experiences, events and proudly compete in shows.

Traditionally, tail docking was performed when the puppies were newly born within days. This was prior to their neurological development and caused no harm or distress to the puppies. If a tail was docked at any older age, this is no longer refered to as “docking”, but an amputation. All forms of docking and amputation are now prohibited by law in NSW for routine, prophylactic or cosmetic reasons, and no ethical breeder or vet will perform this surgery. If the animals welfare is at stake – ie: dog or puppy has irreparable tail damage, then vets are permitted to perform an amputation, however this must be well documented. Visitors are welcome to come and watch and we warmly welcome other dog breeds to join in on our training nights..
