Question Checklist For A Rottweiler Breeder

The time has come to go out and get your new pet so you will need to start interviewing potential Rottweiler breeders. Interviewing breeders is a little useless if you do not know what to ask them when you get there so this is a check list of some of the questions you can ask potential breeders when you talk to them. A good breeder is not only going to expect questions but they will insist that you ask questions so that you as a customer are totally comfortable with them as a breeder. That relationship is extremely important to the future of your pet.

Ask your breeder what national breeder registry they are listed with and then confirm their answer yourself on the Internet. A national breeder registry will have the breeding standards your breeder will use so read them and understand them. If they are not listed with a registry ask them why and also ask what breeding standards they use if they are not using the standards of a national organization.
When you leave your Rottweiler breeder's property you should be given a complete set of care and feeding instructions for your dog from the breeder. Any reputable breeder is going to usually give you written instructions that you can follow to care for your new pup. You should also be given a sample of the dog's food so that you know exactly what you should be feeding your dog. If your breeder does not offer this kind of information then you may want to choose a different breeder.

The successful breeder relationship with the owner lasts for years after the sale. A good breeder is there for a new owner to answer questions and offer guidance for caring and feeding your new pup. If your breeder gives any indication that they do not offer ongoing support to new owners then you may want to move on to a different breeder.
In many cases insurance companies will offer a reputable Rottweiler breeder free pet insurance to give to new owners. The policy is good for six weeks, just long enough to cover the pup's first vet appointment, and the insurance company hopes that you will be so happy with your insurance that you will renew it. If your breeder does not offer free pet insurance, and has no idea what you are talking about, then you may be dealing with a breeder that the insurance companies do not want to deal with so keep that in mind.

Many times a good breeder will offer a service where they will agree to take back the pup at any time, without any refund, so that the dog is not abandoned should the owner find themselves no longer able to care for the dog or any other circumstance comes up. Never think that any question is off limits, as any good Rottweiler breeder will not only be expecting a lot of questions from you but they will probably be insisting on it.
