3. Feeding: Our puppies are fed Nutro's Natural Choice for Large Breed Puppies. We recommend maintaining this diet until one year of age.
4. Temperament Development: The temperament in Rottweilers is largely determined by the genetic traits passed on to it by the parents. That is why we are firm believers in selective breeding for conformation and working ability. We want dogs that are protective in nature yet good around children, family, and friends. We feel that temperament and socialization are directly related to each other. In this regards, we spend a great deal of time socializing our puppies. Everyday the puppies experience human interaction and are put in different situations such as exposing them to different floor materials, varying noise levels, both with and without their littermates. We observe their actions and base further temperament assessment on their progress. It must be pointed out that Schutzhund training, agility training, obedience training, protection training, carting training, weight pulling training, therapy work training, and tracking training, etc. are just that - training. No dog can just walk on a field and do these things. They must be trained, and trained correctly. We can sell you a dog with a good potential to do these things, but it is up to you to develop this potential in your dog.

Severe Hip Dysplasia - We will give you another puppy out of an equivalent breeding for only the shipping charges and cost of the flight crate.
