What You Need To Know About Rottweiler Puppies
Once you have decided to get a Rottweiler puppy it is important that you find a Rottweiler puppy that is healthy and happy to add to your household. This can be difficult for the first time dog owner or first time Rottweiler owner.
One of the most important tips to finding the right dog is to select a Rottweiler puppy that approaches you or at the very least won’t shy away when you approach them. You should never select a Rottweiler puppy that is fearful or aggressive. Rather the puppy should be friendly and allow you to hold and handle them.
The next tip is to try and meet the parents if possible. Before adopting a puppy you want to observe the behavior of the parents. Ideally the parents of the puppy will be friendly, well behaved and easy to touch and handle. If the parents are well adjusted then there is a great chance that the puppy will adapt just the same with proper training.
When you examine your Rottweiler puppy you want to pay special attention to the back legs. Since Rottweilers are large breed dogs they can have problems with their back hips that are very costly to fix. To reduce the risk of getting a dog with these problems you should avoid choosing a Rottweiler puppy that has grossly turned out hips and rather one that has hips facing forward. You will also want to make sure the puppy’s parents don’t have a history of hip disorders since some of these conditions can be hereditary.
You also want to carefully consider how the breeder treats and trains their puppies, don’t just take things at face value. How your Rottweiler puppy will turn out later on depends greatly on how the breeder raises the puppies. Just keep an open mind when looking for your puppy and remember that you will never be able to find the perfect animal but you will be able to find a loving companion that is loyal to you for years and years.
Never be afraid to ask questions when looking for a Rottweiler puppy, since asking questions is a very important part of finding the right puppy. Asking how many times the mother has had puppies is one of the most important questions to ask. As a general rule female Rottweiler’s should have no more than three litters in their lifetime in order to have the best breeding results. The mother also needs adequate time to recover before she is bred again after having a litter. If a female Rottweiler is over bred the puppies can have both health and behavioral problems.
It can be difficult to ask questions, but just keep in mind that a good breeder is eager to answer any questions you have and wants to be helpful. Often you won’t even have to ask some questions with the best breeders since they will give you all the general facts and let you assess the traits of the parents.
Good breeders won’t push you because they will want to make sure you are raising your puppy right. So don’t be afraid to ask any questions, especially the important ones such as the health history of the parents.
