UPDATES can be located on our UPDATES page. 

Welcome to Icehaven Homepage where we showcase our KUSA Registered Rottweilers, KUSA Registered Siberian Huskies and SACC Registered Siamese and Oriental Cats.  Please click on the relevant links in the vertical menu above to go to the relevant pages, i.e. ROTTWEILERS, HUSKIES and or SIAMESE CATS.   We have relocated from in Durban, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa and are currently living at Cawood Hope Game Lodge which is situated 20kms from Christiana and 98kms from Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province.  We also assist our clients by flying our pups from either Kimberley or Bloemfontein airport to other destinations in South Africa and to other countries.  We will also, on occasion, make arrangements to drive through to Johannesburg and/or meet clients half way depending on how many pups will be going to the same area - the usual transport rates will apply (for flight and/or road transport) which is usually in the region of R500 to R700.   We will also be travelling mostly to Gauteng for shows and can make arrangements around those times also.   We offer transport to the following areas as well as others which may not be listed (please enquire with us):

Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, East London, George, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Port Elizabeth, Ladysmith, Polakwane.

 We are very pleased to announce that we have tranferred our web hosting to www.webhost4u.co.za.

We have been involved with Rottweilers & Siberian Huskies since 2000 and are well known for the remarkable and loving temperment of our dogs.  Most of our clients are referals from clients that have purchased from us previously.  Our dogs will only be sold to those who understand the breed and treat our Rottweilers/Siberian Huskies as part of the family.  A great deal of people are of the opinion that Rottweilers are simply there to be kept outside and do "guard duty"!  When obtaining one of our dogs they are to be treated as a member of the family as you will find Rottweilers are very sensitive, loyal and loving companions.  In fact our vet has told us he believes that Rottweilers are the Number 1 family dog.   Most of our Rottweilers are sold to family homes with children.

When we do have pups they are well socialised and a great deal of time and energy is spent raising them and providing them with a healthy start in life both emotionally and physically.  Our pups are whelped inside our house where they spend the first three weeks of their lives and thereafter they go into fully covered outdoor kennels with concrete floors.  All our Rottweiler breeding stock are tested for Hip Dysplasia and only bred from if they meet the hip score requirements set by the Rottweiler Breed Council and Kennel Union of South Africa.

We don't believe in aggression training (referring to Rottweilers) at all and will not sell to security companies or someone who has expressed an interest in aggression training.   

It is extremely import to raise your pups (mostly Rottweiler pups) on concrete floors as parvo is the number one killer of Rottweiler pups.  You can clean concrete floors with HTH and Jeyes Fluid but if your pups are raised on grass (although it may look nicer) - they are at risk every single day as parvo remains in the ground (grass) for months and months.  Siberian Husky pups are also at risk for parvo alothough Rottweilers are more prone to getting parvo.

Icehaven Rottweiler and Siberian Husky pups are raised on Hills Large Breed puppy.  

 

We believe that the proper nutritian is essential to give your Rottweiler or Siberian Husky puppy the best start in life.  We would prefer our clients to keep their pups on one of those products at least until Rottweiler/Siberian Husky is 18 months of age.  We deworm our Rottweilers and Siberian Huskies with either Drontal or Prazifen every two weeks from date of birth.

When you buy a Rottweiler or Siberian Husky from us you will get a "care sheet" which sets out how to raise a healthy pup and what to watch out for if your Rottweiler or Siberian Husky pup gets sick.  We expect our clients to strictly adhere to that.

Although we love meeting prospective owners of our pups there are people out there who think it would be nice to drive to the Rottweiler/Husky breeder for a day's outing.  We don't have the time to waste with people who aren't ready to buy their Rottweiler/Siberian Husky and we would like to ask that you research the breed you are interested in fully and are absolutely positive that you are ready for a Rottweiler or Siberian Husky pup BEFORE coming to see us.  Everyone deserves a weekend off and we would like to fall into that category also.  All prospective owners are requested to complete either our Siberian Husky Booking Form or our Rottweiler Booking Form.  This form is non-obigatory but it helps us understand what your requirements are.   Once this form is completed we will send you a contract which you can complete and return to us together with proof of booking deposit which is approximately 25% of purchase price.  At that time your booking will become final and you will be allocated a position on the waiting list.  If you choose not to pre-book your pup with us you are welcome to still complete our booking form and we will advise you once the pups are innoculated and ready to go at which time you can view them. 

We hope you enjoy browsing through our site.

Have a fabulous day
