Who is ARV ?

ARV-American Rottweiler Verein is one of the oldest Rottweiler clubs in America, Established in 1990 by founder and first president Eckart Salquist. ARV was formed for the purpose of bringing German style Sieger shows and Schutzhund trials here to USA.

BSE/ZTP & Koroung

Breed Suitability Test

In Germany it is a requirement by law that a Rottweiler must pass a Breed Suitability test before it can be bred. We at the ARV feel that this is very important in maintaining  the breeds true temperament.
