This kennel belongs to Johan and Linda Janse van Rensburg, and is situated just outside Pretoria, South-Africa.
We started to breed and show Rottweilers in 1989. For many years we continued breeding and showing under the kennel name ‘Von Augsburgh'.
In 1993, we discovered a picture of three Neapolitan Mastiffs in a book and we fell totally in love with this breed. During that time, there were only three in South Africa - a male and two females - who belonged to Dr Julia Mariani and her husband Franco, Johannesburg. With the help of Julia and Franco Mariani, we imported four puppies from Luca Sorbo , Italy.
Thereafter, we imported various adult breeding males and females from Mr van Doremalen, Thatchroof Kennels, Belgium. These include:
- Racer del Gheno
- Questa of the Thatchroof
- Quoia of the Thatchroof
- Yacacan of the Thatchroof
