Re: Not a Rottie owner...yet.

Does an examination cost? I think you're better off investing that money into socialization classes rather then "fun at the vet". You should check your dogs teeth daily when hes a puppy, touch his feet, balls, ears, everything every day..AND every time he goes to the vet let the vet do the same..make the visits a good experience and he will enjoy it and remember it. Dont change too many vets, pick a reputable one that you will stick with. I dont think he needs to go every week in order to get use to his vet.
Its good that you're doing all your research..and make sure you can pick a breeder that can tell you about each and every puppy as well as their temperments(from what they've observed). This is what we did with our dog..and our breeder took the most dominant male and female for herself. (she loves a challenge and is into showing etc)
