Do not be taken in by fancy ads or websites.

Make sure that both sire and dam have some sort of titles (Champion,etc)
Make sure that both have their hips, eyes, heart and elbows cleared and certified by OFA. Go to the OFA website and check it out... www.offa.org
Make sure that the breeder belongs to the breed club and is a COE breeder.

There is more info on the Breeding Forum, just read the "stickies".

Thanks for the warning.

So far I have only talked to memebers of the Northstar Rottweiler Club. I am also biased in that all of the dogs I have met have all been fabulous examples of the breed. Everything a Rottie should be.

The next events I go to, or as I go along, I will ask Rott people to refer me to a breeder. Any self respecting Rott person will give me the best breeders they know.
