A pure breed Rottweiler would very much depend upon the quality
of the breeder that you buy it from. There are a few things you
will need to look into to determine if the Rottweiler breeder
from which you are considering buying from is of that quality
and reputation.
The female should be certified to be free of hip dysplasia, which
is the most common and debilitating problem with Rottweilers.
If yes, the Rottweiler breeder will have a certificate from the
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals attesting that. She should also
be at least two years old as that is the youngest age the OFA
will issue a certificate.
You will want a Rottweiler breeder that is a member of the “Code
of Ethics” chain of clubs as these clubs have established a certain
standard to insure that only the best get accreditation. A reputable
Rottweiler breeder will be happy to show you the female and, if
possible, the male dog and the female and the puppies should always
be found in clean and comfortable surroundings.
Best Dogs Used For Breeding
You should find that the bitches who have mothered the litter
have certificates or prizes to prove their exceptional qualities.
Good Rottweiler breeders normally use the best there is available
and usually do not breed the animals unless they have proved their
worth in one-way or other.
The health certificates of the female Rottweiler will bear witness
that they do not suffer from any eye problems or diseases by a
Veterinary Ophthalmologist certified by the Board. The certificate
will have been issued by the CERF, or the Canine Eye Registry
Foundation. The elbows of the Rottweiler will also have to be
certified against having elbow dysplasia, which is another very
common disease that plagues Rottweilers.
A good quality Rottweiler breeder will definitely take part in
competitions of all sorts and his dogs and bitches should be the
winners of numerous trophies. Additionally, a responsible breeder
will be wary of selling you a Rottweiler puppy, unless they believe
you and your family suitable for bringing up this dog in the manner
in which it should.
They will interview with serious intention to find out whether
it is possible for you to train, take care and live with a Rottweiler;
the same being applicable to your family. A good, responsible
Rottweiler breeder will recommend you to another good breeder
in case they cannot help you with a puppy in the near future.
There are many Rottweilers that find themselves in shelters because
the owners were not able to gauge their own abilities to cope
up with these demanding dogs. Hence, if you are indeed a dog-lover
and really want to have a good dog, you will have to first learn
to find how
to choose the right Rottweiler breeder.
