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.

A reputable Rottweiler breeder will not let a new owner leave with a pup without first supplying that owner with complete care and feeding instructions so that the owner knows exactly how to care for their new dog. Most times this information is given in written form so that the owner can reference it later. A good breeder will also make sure you leave their property with a sample of your dog's food so that you know exactly what to feed your new pet.

Talk with your breeder and make sure that they agree that the relationship between owner and breeder does not stop once the sale is complete. Your breeder should be available to you for many years after the sale in case you have any questions. If your breeder indicates that they do not talk to owners after the sale then you may want to avoid that 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.
