LOL...
cranky and feeling like I'm hitting my head against a wall.
I've had numerous dogs through over 30 years of ownership, and not once have I ever thought of or even wanted to breed one. Why is it so important for people to breed or think they need to breed their dogs???
To the OP, there are not enough good homes for "pet quality" puppies. Why do you think shelters and rescues are full? People like you think it would be fun and neat to breed...and maybe even make a few dollars too? The puppies you think find good homes...and if you sell off 8 puppies, I can guarantee you that before they are a year old, more than half of those puppies will not be in their original home.
They will either be sitting in a shelter or in a rescue...or have been dumped to a friend or a neighbour,etc. These lives you produce, are your worry, for the rest of your life. Take a look at petfinder.com and see how many unwanted Rottweilers are in your area right now.
The world does not need anymore BYB's. I suggest when your pups are grown, and trained, and spayed and neutered....that you volunteer for a rescue or a shelter...maybe foster a pregnant dog. Then tell us about how much "fun" it is.
