I am about to get my first rottie pup and like you, I have wondered if I am making the right choice. I feel that I am. The woman who I will be getting my pup from is a doll. She has answered any and all of my questions and I feel that she is an honest and ethical breeder. After saying that I may get a bit of a hard time but the sire of this litter just turned 2. His OFA x-rays were done and sent into OFA but she did breed before the offical results were back in. The vet said the X-rays looked good, all the dogs looking back in his pedigree are HD/ED- Frei and so I feel fine that his OFA will pass.

On a different point, I am not so sure about all puppies being sold on a full registration. I am buying mine on a limited because I have no intention of breeding, and I wold think the breeder wouldn't want EVERY pup she sells to beable to breed. I realize they screen future homes, and I am not saying YOU would, but what about the other people. What if they want to "Make their money back" on an AKC dog? I am not sure that THAT would be my deciding factor, but it is a concern.
