What were your goals in your latest breeding?

How do the dog and bitch complement each other? Strong points? Weaknesses?

What weaknesses in each partner were you looking to improve?

At what age do you evaluate the litter?

At what age do they leave for their new homes?

Do you require spay/neuter of any puppies?

Since I am planning a breeding later this year, I'll answer first.

What were your goals in your latest breeding?

My goals are to keep my bitch's virtues, while using a dog who is strong where she is weak. Specific goals include:

Better elbow scores
Improved topline, mouth pigment, stifle turn, shoulder layback.

How do the dog and bitch complement each other?

Strong points?

DOG: Topline, movement, type, bone, color, temperament, head and eye shape, eye color, front and shoulder layback, front and rear angles, health status including flawless elbow pedigree

BITCH: Head, type, bone, color, movement, correct body/height proportion, excellent dense correct coat, eye color, temperament

Weaknesses?

DOG: Slightly long in body, could see some soft toplines from his sire.
BITCH: needs improvement in topline (dip behind shoulder, falls at croup), mouth pigment, needs more stifle turn, could use more shoulder layback, needs longer upper arm, rear angulation is too open, eye is too large and round.

What weaknesses in each partner were you looking to improve?

I can only speak for the bitch since I don't own the sire. This breeding, through my pedigree research and personal experience should produce improvement in topline, eye shape, mouth pigment, stifle turn, shoulder lay, and front and rear angles. Since the sire also has excellent color, type, head type, bone, temperament and movement I expect to see these virtues remaining in the majority of the litter since we are doubling on them.

At what age do you evaluate the litter?

7 weeks for temperament, 8 to 9 weeks for conformation.

At what age do they leave for their new homes?

10 weeks

Do you require spay/neuter of any puppies?

Yes, all puppies not graded as show prospects are required to be Spayed or Neutered.

Hello?

 

[ARottMweilerY]

Sorry, I've been really busy these last 2 days and haven't really had a chance to come here and reply. In all honesty, you should be asking my boyfriend these things. If your really interested, go to our site and email him. He is the one that can answer all your questions breeding wise. I'm still learning everything. He's been doing this longer than I have. I mostly know about the training stuff. He on the other hand is an ethical breeder. We don't do it for the money, and we put a lot of work into all our dogs and our puppies. Though I'll answer what I can. We do have a spay neauter Contract, and we won't let them leave till they are at least 8 weeks old, but we try to wait till they are a little older. This is so they get in all they need to learn from their litter mates and mother and so we can evaluate them correctly and be sure we pick out the best in the litter to keep, and so we are sure of which ones should go to which homes. We only let them go to the best of homes, and make sure that they don't just end up chained up in the back yard or as a 'Guard Dog'. If we don't think someone is fit for one of our dogs we won't sell to them. We are very picky to who gets one of our pups. We will not put a puppy with too much drive in a pet only home, and vise versa. Sorry I can't answer all of your questions, but again if your really interested please email him. Thanks

But Amy.....

It is you here stating that you breed excellent quality Rottweilers.

If you do indeed breed excellent quality Rottweilers, you should be able to speak about the reasons why they are excellent.

If you are unable to engage in that type of conversation, then you should leave the breeding adverts to your boyfriend.

However, on the training.

What sort of training do you do?

 

[ARottMweilerY]

I was just trying to help.

As for training I do Obedience, Agility, Tracking, Conformation, Schutzhund and others.

 

[RedyreRottweilers]

I have a young bitch I'm getting ready. She's almost ready for Rally Novice, but I'd like to start her on some advanced exercises.

How do you teach the broad jump, and the go out exercises?

 

[ARottMweilerY]

I have a couple I'm getting ready for Obedience and Rally as well. For the broad jump, I'd first start with only 1 panel thing to the broad jump and reward for jumping over that. Then add 2 and repeat then 3... until you have how ever many you need your dog to jump. For the go out, I'd teach the dog to target, then you can use any number of targets to send your dog out to that target point. You could then begin fading the target and just use your cue to go out. Of course you'd work in baby steps to reach each point.
