Rottweiler FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Rottweiler puppies, breeding program, and the adoption process.
We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve a puppy. This deposit secures your position on our list and is applied toward the total price. The remaining balance is due at pickup. We accept cash, cashier's check, or wire transfer.
We strongly prefer in-person pickup at our location in Dallas, Texas. This allows us to meet you, provide hands-on guidance, and ensure the puppy's safe transition. For exceptional circumstances, we can arrange flight nanny service at additional cost.
All our breeding dogs are OFA certified for hips, elbows, and cardiac health. They also undergo comprehensive DNA panels including JLPP, vWD, and other breed-relevant genetic markers. We provide full documentation with every puppy.
Our contract includes a 2-year health guarantee against genetic conditions, spay/neuter requirements for pet placements, and a return policy if you can't keep the dog. We also include vaccination records, deworming schedule, and a puppy starter kit.
We conduct formal temperament evaluations at 7-8 weeks using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test. This helps us match puppies to appropriate homes—whether that's an active family, a show prospect, or a working home.
After submitting an application, we typically schedule a phone or video call within 1-2 weeks. If approved, you'll be added to our waitlist. Wait times vary from 3-12 months depending on our breeding schedule. Puppies go home at 8-10 weeks of age.
Our puppies are priced based on breeding rights, pedigree, and placement type. Pet puppies typically range from $3,000-$4,500. Show/breeding prospects are priced individually. Visit our pricing page for current details.
We work exclusively with German and European bloodlines—primarily ADRK-registered dogs with proven working ability and health testing. Our focus is on dogs from top German kennels known for temperament and structure.
Yes, we occasionally place puppies with breeding rights to approved homes. These placements come with mentorship and breeding guidance. We're selective about breeding placements and require a detailed application.
Absolutely. Our puppies are raised in a home environment with regular exposure to children, household sounds, and daily activities. Rottweilers from our program are known for being excellent family dogs when properly trained and socialized.
Puppies leave with age-appropriate vaccinations (typically 2 rounds of DHPP), deworming, and a health certificate from our veterinarian. We provide a full vaccination schedule for you to continue with your vet.
All our puppies receive early neurological stimulation, crate introduction, and basic socialization. We also provide guidance on training and can recommend trainers in your area. Some puppies are available with additional training at extra cost.
