while i 99.9 percent agree with mick if you start your dog at a year unless your dog is loaded with drive be prepared to end up just doing the obediance and tracking pportions of schutzhund(not that you cant do well in all phases many have) especially with a rott what i have found is compared to other breeds when someone gets a rott they tend to get it into formal obediance to early/ they tend to neuter way to early because vets. push this when you have a rott(they think it stops them from eating people) and/ the 1st year of its life most owners from the moment they aquire the pup have nipped in the bud all its desire to bite(how many times here have you heard the expression nip in the bud and how many threads are dedicated to puppy nipping) then after a year of this your dog will be expected to jump on people and bite people and put forth drives that have been under someone thumb for a year. but regardless the whole experiance will be fun for you either way.with that being said to answer the op those dogs are outthere but it takes time and lots of reasurch i resurched litters and breeders for 1.5 years before i found what i wanted
