We will be leaving for Germany on Monday March 15 to pick up our beloved Serenity! We wanted her to get some show experience before she was bred with Candidate for International Champion MARSCHALL SE UNGO ROT, but as she is our only American rottweiler (out of world famous JENECK lineage) and has a docked tail, we really just wanted her to get some experience in real sieger show rings. She was very limited on what countries and venues she could be shown in as Europe abolished tail docking over a decade ago. Only a couple of countries will still accept docked tailed dogs in confirmation (only when coming from a country that permits docking) and even in those countries, it must be an open, international event. This means that when she is competing that it is at an international event with many great rottweilers from all over the world. For my Serenity to even be in the event is amazing for us, and when Uros told us that she was not just placing, but winning, we could not have been more proud!! In just 6 short months, our Serenity CHAMPIONED in not just one, but 2 countries!! Her owner, my baby girl Tahlia, has been telling EVERYONE (the check out lady at the grocery store, our waiter at the restaurant...)
This is Serenity when we dropped her off last year in Milan, Italy. It was awful! I felt like I was leaving a child behind :( And my Serenity knew that we were leaving her too! It took 3 of us to load her in the car! But I knew she was in great hands.
Uros knows that Serenity is the most treasured possession of my baby girl, and has treated her accordingly. Uros has handled several of our dogs in the past, but he knew that Serenity was a member of our family. Uros took her into his home and she has slept in his bed. Now that it is time to pick her up, Uros said it will be very hard to let her go. He had a dog a few years ago that has since passed named Hessy. His Hessy was like our Diesel- extra special in every way, and one of those dogs you are very blessed it you get one of in a lifetime. Uros has loved many rottweilers since his Hessy, but never the same as her. About a week after Serenity was staying with him, Uros called me and said that Serenity reminded him very much of his Hessy. That is one of the highest compliments I could have been paid about our baby girl!
Serenity spent nearly 6 months in Europe, and spent her first Christmas ever away from us :( Thank goodness for Skype! It has been so nice to log on the computer and video chat with our baby every time we need our Serenity fix :) Even though we did not get the pleasure of Serenity's company in our lap as we opened out gifts this year, it was great to know that even on the other side of the world, she was doing what she does best! Uros has a house full of guests for Christmas and all of them loved our baby girl, especially all the kids!
This beautiful baby girl is Teodora, Uros' niece.
Serenity is our youngest female and definitely our most playful. She is always looking for affection and, like most Rottweilers, does not yet realize that she is not really a lap dog! She is very intelligent and very quick to pick up a new trick. Although still growing, Serenity stands 23 inches at the withers and weighs approximately 97 pounds. She also has the dark mohogany markings with dark gums and a full, compact muzzle. She has an outstanding Pedigree featuring world famous Jeneck lines. We expect great things from Serenity in the show ring!
They say a picture is worth 1000 words. What more can I say? I have raised Serenity since she was 6 weeks old, and I have never been more proud. She is an absolutely perfect female inside and out. She is very sweet and generous and wears her heart on her sleeve. Serenity has the fastest tongue this side of the Mississippi and is absolutely infatuated with her Tahlia. Serenity is so powerful, yet so gentle and loving and we are so blessed to have her as part of our family.
Our baby girl is just barely old enough to compete with the adults, and brought home her first trophy and a CGC title! We are so proud of our Serenity.

We bought Serenity for our youngest daughter for Christmas when Tahlia was three years old and the two have been inseparable since. (Serenity pictured here with Tahlia at about 10 months of age.)
Serenity has tremendous potential. From world famous Jeneck lineage, she has heavy, solid bone structure and a beautiful head. She has a wide, compact muzzle and dark mohogany markings. Along with her gorgeous body, she has a personality that you can't help but fall in love with. She is happy and playful and loves to snuggle. But be careful because this dog can not hold her "licker" :-)' Serenity with one of Alexis' pups. She has a wonderful disposition and is very loving and nurturing towards the "young ones." We socialize our pups with our children, our other dogs and our 3 kitties.
