Information for new owners
  1. Rottweilers are large breed dogs. They grow very fast in the first year.  Allow your puppy to eat as much as it wants pursuant
    to your vet's instructions.  Keep food and water in the same place for routine.  It aids in house training your puppy and also
    helps to stop food aggression.  We currently recommend Purina One Large Breed Puppy as we have determined this to have
    the highest nutritional value and is specifically designed for Large Breed Dogs.
  2. Puppies should never slip and slide on linoleum or hard wood floors, it will cause them harm.  Puppies should not be allowed to
    go up and down stairs.  This places too much pressure on their legs nd will hollow out the hips and joints at a young age.  All
    of our adults are over two years old when they begin breeding.  Our adult dogs do not have hip dysplasia.   Most of our
    breedings pairs are pups of OFA tested sires and dames.  
  3. Do not expose your puppy to loud noises, just like in babies it can cause them to lose their hearing.
  4. Please make sure your new puppy has a nice grassy area to play in.  Please continue deworming up to 14 weeks.
  5. Rottie puppies are very loyal and very loving and desire your attention, they can be stubborn so be firm but in a loving way.
  6. If you desire your puppy to be social do not keep him or her pinned up all the time.  Let them socialize with people.  It is up to
    the individual owner how your puppy will develop.  
  7. Discipline aggressive behavior immediately.  Allow all family members to put their hands in the food bowl and be sure to
    discipline your puppy for any aggressive behavior at that time.
  8. If for any reason you have to let go of your rottweiler, Please contact us.  We can help place him or her in a good home.
  9. In house training, everyone in the house must be consistent.  Everyone must have the puppy scratch the door before letting the
    puppy out.  Use only one door to let the puppy out of.  If you forget the puppy paw scratch, immediately return back in the
    house have the puppy scratch the door and let the puppy out again. Praise puppy with treats and affection when they go potty
    outside.  If the puppy does go potty in the house, show the puppy, tell the puppy FIRMLY "No", scratch the puppy's paws on
    the door and put the puppy out.  When you bring the puppy back in, continue the discipline.  Don't play with the puppy.   Tell
    the puppy "NO, You are a BAD PUPPY, This will hurt their feelings, rottweiler puppies crave love and approval, when you do
    this the puppy will understand that you are not happy.  The puppy will learn faster because it will want your approval.

Please don't hesitate to call us for any reason, and if you can send us a picture once in a while.
AKC does offer health insurance for your puppy free for sixty days.  We do recommend you take advantage of the program.  We do
not offer any warranty because we have no control over what is done to the puppy after it leaves our hands.  We breed our animals
with the utmost love and care.  If all the previous instructions are followed you will have a healthy and happy puppy and a fantastic
addition to your family.

Puppy Deposits are non-refundable due to the costs of advertising, feeding, housing, handling and cost associated with loss of
business due to telling other customers the puppy is no longer available.  All pups scheduled to be shipped must be paid for in full by
the 7th week due to the extensive and expensive shipping requirements.
