Barbossa is an incredible male that I fell in love with the first time I saw him. WOW, what a dog!! 67 cm and 58 kg in ripped condition! Perfect head piece, not overly done but strong and beautiful. A very dark eye and mouth pigment that is becoming hard to find today. A short, thick back that I love! Strong bone and substance. He is extremely self assured, confident, and friendly, yet protective of his family. Did someone say ball drive? He is a monster when it comes to the ball, tug, or sleeve! He has the looks, the drive, the temperament, so I had to see about his pedigree. If his looks were not enough, his pedigree sealed it in for me. Let's start with the top side of his pedigree. His sire is Manolo Buoso da Dovara from the world famous kennel in Italy and one of my all time favorites. Manolo is a monster with a super head type, black eye, and most importantly a black mouth. He came from a super litter that was the result of an inbreed on the X litter from Buoso da Dovara between Xandy and Xira, two super producing females whose mom, Pia vom Herrenholz, is stunning and from an amazing working kennel in Germany. Xira was Manolo's mom and Xandy produced Manolo's sire, Gonsalo Buoso da Dovara. Gonsalo was a freak of nature with an incredible head piece that he was able to reproduce. He was an amazing male that was a site to see. Of course every dog has his faults and his was that sometimes he would throw lighter mouth pigmentation, of course the dam plays a part as well. This is why Manolo is so very important to me. He has a BLACK mouth and even at the result of a tight inbreeding, which usually throws out or brings in any faults or strengths. The dark pigmentation was also carried over to Barbossa as well.....SCORE!!! So, I am guessing that the tight inbreeding threw out that genetic fault that sometimes appeared and did not get passed on to Manolo. Gonsalo's sire is Brando Buoso da Dovara, an amazing male that I love to death! He had a nice short back, super pigmentation, great head type, and temperament. His sire was the awesome Odo vom Fleischer, a Balou vom Silberblick son, and is most likely where the short back comes from. Brando's dam was Ziggy Buoso da Dovara whose sire was Enzo von Bickesheim.  Enzo's lines are known for their dark pigmentation. Ziggy's dam is a Pia vom Herrenholz daughter, so we have the great Pia coming in again! As you can see, the top side of the pedigree is built around the hard work and dedication of the Buoso da Dovara kennel in Italy. Their hard work has shown and paid off in an incredible way!! The bottom side of the pedigree brings in some more head type as well as pigmentation and one of my favorite dogs for his pedigree to seal in the deal. The dam is the beautiful Arabesca od Vadanora who is a Kris Klaid daughter. Kris has an extremely beautiful head piece that is magnified with the rich mahogany, black eyes, and black mouth. He is just an amazing male to see and one of the best Morro von der Scherau sons I have ever seen. While we are here, we will go ahead and talk about Morro. Can we say freak!! Especially for back then. He had a head type to die for and was a beautiful male! What I also loved about Morro was his pedigree...His sire Vico von der Fluschneise was outstanding in every way - look, attitude, pedigree. He was a beautiful dog that was a very serious and hard working dog, all business! I like that attitude added into my pedigree. Morro's dam, Gesa von der Scherau, was also an amazing dog with a great working temperament and a great pedigree behind her. Kris also goes back to the Bickesheim lines through Chris vom Bickesheim. Arabesca's dam was the beautiful and thick Bessi od Vadanora whose sire is Cliff von der Konigskanzel. Cliff is a male I love to death and is the dog with the pedigree to seal in this bottom half for me! Super looks, super temperament, super pigment, super producer, but most of all, his pedigree!!! Mambo von der Teufelsbrucke, what a super dog! Hard, super looks, just the way a Rottweiler should be! His pedigree is just as impressive with the who's who of the foundation of the rottweiler as we know it today - Dingo vom Schwaiger Wappen, Santo vom Schwaiger Wappen, Falko vom Gruntenblick; of course closer up is Face von der Teufelsbrucke who is one of my all time favorite females and is a full sister to the great Doc von der Teufelsbrucke (The sire of Rick von Burgthann who sired Mambo von der Crossener Ranch who seems to have changed the modern Rottweiler of today). Cliff's Dam Gina has a working pedigree to die for when it comes to temperament. Her sire Pascha vom Hegestrauch is known for producing drive and temperament for generations as is his father Arri vom Hertener Wappen. Her mom is the hard working Ilka vom Warturm who is from the legend Fjordbakkens Andy whom also passed along his amazing working abilities through generations. Ilka also goes back to the awesome Falko vom Gruntenblick. Bessi also goes back to a very influencial female Ramona von der Crossener Ranch. Ramona produced many amazing offspring and is from the famous Mambo von der Crossener Ranch. Bessi is also from Gil Crni Lotos from the famous Crni Lotos kennel in Eastern Europe and is one of the dogs that started making Eastern Europe big contenders. Barbossa has earned his BH in obedience, won the Junior Breed Champion and best junior National Rottweiler championship 2013. After proving himself, he competed to win his Moldova Championship. Throughout his career the has won CACIB, 4 x CAC UA, multi BOB, 4 x res CACIB,  multi V1, and multi Sieger titles. All of this both in Europe and here in America. He is truly and excellent representative of the breed and we could not be more proud to have him as part of our program, but more importantly as a member of our family!

Barbossa has reproduced the most amazing temperaments we've ever had or seen! Just everything I've ever wanted in a true Rottweiler! He is no longer available for stud, but we do have some amazing offspring from him and we also have a few frozen breedings left that we will use in the future.
