Original & English Translation
Hope's official paperwork was issued in Germany by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Rottweiler-Klub (ADRK) — the German Rottweiler parent club — so every document is in German. Below, each original scan is shown next to a plain-English translation of what it says, so you can read exactly what her registration, DNA test, health clearances, and pedigree contain. Nothing is summarized or left out.
ADRK Ahnentafel (pedigree certificate) — front page
General German Rottweiler Club (ADRK), registered association — headquartered in Minden
How Hope’s JLPP is documented: the ADRK records the JLPP DNA result directly on the pedigree — shown here on the cover, and repeated on the pedigree pages — rather than as a separate lab certificate. N/N is the clear result: the best outcome, meaning Hope carries no copy of the JLPP mutation.
“A Rottweiler may only be used for breeding once it has been officially recognized as breed-suitable (zuchttauglich) and has reached breeding-eligible age.”
“The regulations governing the breeding of the Rottweiler must be strictly observed.”
“This pedigree is valid only if it has been personally signed by the breeder and certified by the authorized representative of the studbook office, or marked as a copy (duplicate). It is an official document in the legal sense. Anyone who forges, imitates, alters, partially reprints, or otherwise misuses a pedigree will be criminally prosecuted. The pedigree is the property of the ADRK and, upon request of the ADRK board or upon the death of the dog, must be returned to the studbook office.”
“When the dog is sold, the pedigree must be handed to the new owner with the change of ownership recorded.”

The lower blocks on the form (Zuchttauglichkeitsprüfung, 1. Körung, 2. Körung) are the ADRK breed-survey records. They are printed on every pedigree and are not yet filled in — they will be completed when Hope is formally presented for her ZTP / Körung. Her hips, elbows, and breeding admission above are already confirmed.
Remarks (Anmerkungen): none.
German pedigrees list each ancestor's titles as abbreviations. Here are the ones that appear on Hope's pedigree. A fuller glossary is on our ADRK Terminology page.
