Anyhow, had a reputable (sp?) breeder that's been breeding rottweilers for 30yrs look at him tonight. She checked him out pretty good and told me that she would not hesitate to breed him to her bitch, provided that I get OFA papers. The pedigree on hers has lots of show, schutzhund III, and I forget what all champions. In her dogs 5 gen pedigree, there was maybe 6 or 8 dogs that were not champions. |
Do NOT breed your unshown, untitled, non-health tested DOG! Why would you DO THAT!? Do you even know how many dogs are in shelters, petfinder etc!? Why would you add to the population of unwanted dogs?
How do you know that this "breeder" is reputable? What are the names of her dogs and we can them up. What are the OFA numbers for all of her dogs? We can look that up also. How did she "look over" your dog? And here we go with the "30 years" stuff - just because she throws out there she's been doing it for 30 years does NOT MAKE HER A COE BREEDER. She could very well be BYB that has been doing this for 30 years.
