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. It is very important to ask questions when looking for a Rottweiler puppy and you should not be afraid to ask the most difficult questions. One of the most important questions to ask is how many times the mother has had puppies. The general rule for Rottweiler’s is that a female should only have three litters in her lifetime for the best breeding results. The mother should also have adequate time to recover after having a litter before she is bred again. There can be a problem with a puppy’s health and behavior if a female Rottweiler is over bred. While it can be difficult to ask questions you should always remember that a good breeder will be eager to answer your questions and is very helpful. Often the best breeders will even give you all the general facts without you having to ask and then allow you to 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.
