It is time to go out and find a Rottweiler breeder to get your new pet from and one of the first things you need to arm yourself with is a checklist of questions that you should be asking your Rottweiler breeder so that you know exactly what kind of person you are dealing with. The choice of a breeder is an important decision, so make sure you have all of the resources at your disposal you can and be sure to ask a lot of questions.

A reputable breeder is going to be listed with a national breeder registry because a national breeder registry is going to set the standard the breeder uses for good breeding practices. Always check what your breeder says by searching the registry's Internet site so that you can confirm what they tell you. If they are not listed then ask them why they are not listed and ask them what breeding standards they use if it is not the standards of a reputable national organization.

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.

When you leave with your new pet your relationship with your breeder does not end. You should always feel like you have an open channel to your breeder so you can ask questions about your new pup. Your breeder should be just as interested in the health and well being of your dog as you are so make sure they are there for you after the sale.

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.

Different breeders have different policies and some breeders will offer to take back a pup if you ever find yourself unable to care for it anymore. The breeder will not offer a cash refund but they will offer the dog a chance at a new home and the chance to stay out of shelters or avoid being abandoned.

You should always learn as much as you can about your Rottweiler breeder, as you will be dealing with them for many years to come.
