With Gratitude

A Foundation Built on Friendship

Hercules is not owned by Crosspoint Rottweilers. He was strategically chosen as a foundational stud in our program — a dog whose bone, structure, head type, and unshakable temperament we believed worthy of building a legacy upon.

We are forever grateful to Ruben Rodriguez for his friendship, his trust, and for granting Crosspoint Rottweilers the privilege of using Hercules to strengthen and further our program. His generosity is woven into the very foundation of everything we build — a debt of gratitude we will always carry forward.

Bloodline

Pedigree Highlights

Hercules was bred by Alberto Estrada of the von der Obersten program — the same program that imported Crosspoint's Rumpi. He is sired by Lacky von der Obersten and out of Xtra von der Obersten, from a pedigree rich in Timit-Tor and Serbian (SRB) bloodlines.

His pedigree is strongly line-bred on Doctor Timit-Tor, who appears as his paternal grandsire and again behind both of his maternal grandparents — concentrating the substance, heavy bone, and head type that define this line.

Structure & Temperament

Structure

Hercules presents with excellent bone density and substance, a strong topline, correct rear angulation, and balanced proportions throughout. His chest is deep and well-developed with proper rib spring. Movement is powerful and efficient with strong drive from the rear and good reach in front.

His head is typey and masculine with correct stop, strong underjaw, and dark eye color. Overall, he embodies the structural standard that defines the Crosspoint program.

Temperament

Confident, stable, and composed. Hercules demonstrates the natural assurance expected of the breed — alert without reactivity, protective without aggression, and social with appropriate environmental awareness. His character is one of his strongest traits and a primary reason for his selection as a foundation male.

He passes his temperament consistency to his offspring, which is the hallmark of a reliable producing dog.

Hercules was selected as a foundation male for his ability to consistently produce offspring that carry his structural strengths and temperament stability.
