Estalea Rotweilers has been established  for over 25 years. It is the affix of Jackie & Esther Shaves and Mick & Marion Kelly.

Jackie started working with dogs approx. 50 years ago working in a small kennels and grooming parlour after school and during holidays. Esther began handling dogs when she was 6 years old starting with an extremely clever Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Willow bred by Mel Matthews of Ronmal Rottweilers, now run by Sharon Fenwick.  2008 saw the new arrival of Australian Shepherds which compliment the Rottweilers.

Mick & Marion have been part of our affix for approx. 10 years but their involvement with Rottweilers, both showing & obedience, has lasted for more than 25 years.  We have been lucky enough to own, breed and show some extraordinary dogs which, first & foremost, are our family with everything else being a bonus.
