Rottweiler Puppy

I am adopting a Rottweiler puppy from this lady who just recently moved to Africa, and i might have to pay the shipping. Roughly, how much would it cost?

PLLLLLLEEEEASSEEE….. just listen to these people.

In fact don’t listen… google "Cameroon Puppy Scams"… and you’ll get LOADS on it.

There is NO puppy, and who would even consider moving a puppy half way across the world when there are thousands in your own country being bred without good homes to go to.

Do you realise just what health problems badly bred rotties have. We in rescue regularly pay about £2000 per month on vet bills alone. Virtually every dog that damned well comes in needs veterinary care.

Forget it and go and find yourself a top class breeder who has done everything correctly. When buying a rottie or other mastiff type then this is the only way to go —- or rescue from a decent rescue that have already checked the dog out.

Hi, i have a one year old rottweiler puppy that chews on everything he sees. He gets really agressive when he has paper towel and makes a weird growling noise, and snapps at us when we try to get it. I would like to hear any advice on how i can get my puppy to not chew on everything, and listen when we ask him to drop it. thank you

Supervision. Keep him confined to the room you are in when you are home, keep your stuff picked up so he can’t get it, and when you are not home, crate him. He needs two structured leash walks per day to burn off energy.

I MIGHT be getting a Rottweiler and im wondering if people would cross the road if they saw a Rottweiler puppy and Grown on the street?

no i wouldn’t there is not need a rottweiler is a great dog like all dogs if bought up well

I might be looking for a Rottweiler puppy in England, Norwich Norfolk and im wondering where can i buy one, Male? and if it will have a tail or a Docked Tail?

No, it won’t have a docked tail. It is very hard to find vets that dock tails these day. You will have to do this yourself if you want it done. Check out websites such as preloved, epupz, pets4homes and gumtree. I have attached a link for rottweilers in norwich from gumtree.

Good Luck!

I live in south Dakota and around here 500 dollars is the most I’ve ever seen a puppy go for. I think maybe it’s just the difference of where I live more than the quality of the puppy but I’m not sure.

You COULD be lucky. But at that price there will have been no hip / elbow / eye / heart testing done that’s for sure.

Read about the four pups we had in rescue on that link I’ve just put.

To be honest – we spend THOUSANDS in rescue on these dogs because of bad breeding. These people who just have a rottie b*tch and just breed it with the nearest rottie male just haven’t got a clue. There is SO MUCH that can go wrong with our breed and all the other large breed mastiffs to be honest that they are an expensive breed to keep.

The biggest problems we find with badly bred dogs are pano / OCD of which not all is genetics but overexercise, nutrition and slippy floors and things play a part. Then hip / elbow dysplasia which is mostly genetics but again basic care as a pup helps. Cruciate ligament rupture is a real bain of the rottie owners life and unfortunately the statistics are high. Entropian is also another major problem which occurs if you breed dogs with too much loose skin (wet head) to another causing entropian. Can just be genetic anyway and not necessarily primarily caused by a loose skin dog.

If you buy a better quality dog then a lot of these problems are MUCH LESSENED but not ruled out.

My Doberman/Rottweiler male pupp just turned 8 months old and weighed in at 67 pounds. Scary thing is, he still looks pretty skinny and still has a lot of loose skin for room to grow What is your estimated guess on how much he will weigh by 1.5 years?

Using the FCI registry, an adult male Dobermann weighs in the region of 50 kg & an adult male Dobermann between 40 – 45 kg.

How much the dog will weigh will depend on the lines behind the Dobermann x Rottweiler, but a guess would be in the region of 45 kg or 99 lb at two-years-old, which is typically when the dog will have its adult muscle mass.

I have a 20 week year old rottweiler puppy and a 1 year old rott/german shepherd mix. whats a good way to bond with my new puppy w/o making my 1 year old dog feel left out?

It is not the puppy who is making your other dog feel left out, it’s you.

HOW TO HELP YOUR DOGS TO COPE WITH A NEW PUPPY.

Puppies are excitable, lovable hooligans. They have bursts of unbelievable energy, however in order to grow they need lots of sleep. New puppies need a room where they can rest and sleep and the other dogs in the house need respite. Older dogs don’t want puppies biting their ears and chewing their necks, if a puppy does this, the older dogs should be allowed to chastise the puppy. How would you cope with an unruly toddler twenty four hours a day? Would you be annoyed, if you had a toddler thrust upon you who pulled your hair and poked your eyes? I am sure that you would grumble.

Please don’t expect your dog to cope with an unruly puppy and to baby-sit twenty four hours a day. Supervise them for SHORT play sessions, then put your puppy in a quiet place to rest. I am not a big fan of crates, however if you do not have a utility room or a separate place where you can leave the puppy, a crate might be an alternative. Don’t expect your older dog to want to sleep with your puppy or to play with it constantly.

Your puppy will possibly need about four meals a day. Divide your other dog’s rations into four and feed it (or them) at the same time. At the outset you must ensure that your puppy cannot steal the food from your other dogs. Perhaps you can put the puppy on a lead, or create enough space to ensure that the puppy does not steal. However it is important that your other dog, or dogs knows that the puppy is not getting preferential treatment and that they are all being fed when the puppy is fed.

Give your existing dog or dogs extra attention when the puppy is resting and make them feel special.

There will be visitors, who want to see your puppy. If the doorbells rings when your puppy is with your other dogs, put your puppy into another room and tell your visitors to fuss your adult dog or dogs and provide treats for your visitors to give them, BEFORE the puppy is allowed out to greet your visitors.

Older dogs love puppies, with the proviso that YOU stop the puppy from being a pain in the bum. They don’t want a puppy being thrust upon them all of the time. If you do this any dog will object and be confused.
