Q: What is the process I go to acquire a new puppy?
A: First, we like to get to know about you. For example, have you ever owned a Rottweiler or other large breed dog before? Do you have children or other pets in the home? Will your dog be living in the city or the country? From there, we can decide on the gender and overall disposition you are seeking. Once puppies are born, we begin accepting $500.00 deposits to reserve a puppy. Selection will go in order of deposits once puppies are of age where personalities and dispositions are more evident. We do our best to adhere to this according to each person's specifications. Some people may be looking for a highly intelligent Rottweiler, others want specific markings or size, and others a docile family pet.
Q: Do they come with papers?
A: Yes, we register all of our litters with the AKC (American Kennel Club) and they do come with papers. There are many benefits to registering your purebred dog. You can read more about it on the AKC website.
Q: How much do you charge for puppies?
A: Currently, the prices are $1500 to $2000. Prices vary within each litter and reflect the status within the litter. Pick of the litter puppies will cost more.
Q: What if I just want a pet with no papers?
A: Sorry, they come with papers and pedigrees. Prices are according to the pup, not whether the dog has papers or not.
Q: Do puppies come with shots?
A: Yes, all pups here are routinely vaccinated at 6 and 8 weeks. We also de-worm all pups and they are seen by a veterinarian before going to new homes. We guarantee each puppy's health upon your own veterinarian's approval as well.
Q: Are their tails docked?
A: Yes. We continue to dock tails as well as dew claws. This is the traditional standard most people are used to. These procedures are done within days of birth.
Q: When can I get my new puppy?
A: Puppies may begin going to their new homes at 7 weeks, although 8 is just as common.
Q: When is the best time to spay or neuter?
A: Female pups are typically spayed before their first heat cycle around 6 to 9 months of age, but certainly before their second heat cycle which follows 6 months later. A female cannot be spayed during a heat cycle. Although some vets may recommend early neutering, with our experience and veterinary advice, we recommend males not being neutered until 18 months to 2 years if possible. The reasoning for this is prolonged neutering allows the male dog to fill out more as they mature. So unless you're having issues with the dog's sex drive, aggression, or roaming, it may need to be addressed sooner.
Q: What should I feed my puppy?
A: I send everyone home with a gallon of the food the puppies are currently used to. This allows you to slowly wean your new puppy onto your brand of choice. A high protein formula (around 26%) is what we recommend for large breed puppies. There are many out there to choose from.
Q: What do I do if my new puppy is biting a lot?
A: It is important to keep in mind that a dog's sense of taste is more for than just eating. Sometimes, a given puppy may lick or bite more to become more familiar with the people it is interacting with it. It is your job as an owner to discipline that puppy so it knows that it's not okay. Substitution with a toy can be effective. A flick on the nose with a sharp no or other startling noise when the puppy misbehaves can also be used. If the puppy becomes more challenging from discipline, then put them on their back (and make sure they don't try to cover your hand with their paw). Hold them down until the puppy submits or calms down. Don't be afraid of a whimper from your puppy. Rottweilers are a smart and challenging breed. If they're attempting to dominate you physically, it may be necessary to dominate them physically. Each puppy will require different amounts of discipline and reward. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are having behavioral issues with your puppy that you are not sure how to handle.
Q: Are the bloodlines German or American? What's the difference?
A: Our dogs have German lineage. They can easily be traced to their German ancestors. There are some European lines as well, and those too can be traced back to German lineage. American Rottweilers are generally more tall, slender, have a longer muzzle, smaller head, and have more tan markings. German traits include a larger head, mahogany markings, a broader structure, and a short muzzle.
Q: Can we meet the parents?
A: Absolutely! All parents are on site and we are happy to introduce you.
Q: Is it normal for my new puppy to whine all night?
A: Yes, puppy has left his home and is adjusting to a whole new world. This is very normal and will get better every day.
Q: Should I crate train?
A: We recommend crate training as a good house breaking tool, however there are many training methods out there. Do whatever you are most comfortable with. A benefit to using a crate is that it becomes the puppy's own little special den, however you should not use it as a punishment because then the puppy will only associate with it in a negative way.
