| OUR FIRST ROTTWEILER, KENO AT 12+ YEARS |
About Us
Our first Rottweiler, Keno, taught us some very important lessons about the breed: 1. Never teach a puppy (THAT WILL MATURE TO BE 100 LBS OR SO) to sit on the couch unless you have a really big couch. 2. Obedience lessons are a must (WHILE THE PUPPY IS STILL SMALL ENOUGH TO MANAGE). NOT an option, a MUST. 3. The more training you do with a Rottweiler, the more they love you and respect you. They are members of the AKC's Working Dog Group because they NEED to work. 4. A Rottweiler does not have to be encouraged to guard it's home and people. Doing so just fans the flames of a breed that does so very naturally. 5. Never underestimate the intelligence of a rott. They end up in shelters when they live with people who are not smart enough to stay one step ahead. 6. Rotties love to ride. You should never have more dogs than you have car windows. |
Winning Hand Kennel
When we breed a litter, it is whelped and raised in our house so that the resulting dogs are accustomed to living among people and the smells and sounds that go along with it. We have found that puppies raised in this way develop into superior companion dogs and are easier to train as well. Puppies should not leave their litter until they are at least 8 weeks old. Rottweiler puppies should not ever be raised in a situation remote from humans, cheated from socialization and stimulation from humans. Before deciding to get a Rottweiler puppy you need to learn everything you can about the breed and it's shortcomings. Then interview breeders carefully. Try not to look at any puppies until you have done both. They are among the most adorable puppies in the dog world, and are very difficult to walk away from |
