How do you know that the sire and dam do NOT have hip, elbow, eye or heart problems? These problems can often be carried, but do not show up till the genes combine and pups are produced.
Once again, please give us the OFA numbers, this is the only way you know that all of the health certifications have been done on these dogs. You cannot just look at dogs and know that they are healthy. Why were these dogs bred? What makes they worthy of being bred?
If you give us the registered name of the sire and dam, we can look up on OFA and see what is what.
If they have no records there, this mean that the breeder is a BYB. You cannot be assured of getting a healthy puppy. Rottweilers are a breed with many genetic health problems. How would you feel if by 6 months your new puppy was crippled and could not walk because of hip dysplasia?
This if a common occurance when buying from a BYB.
Skip getting this puppy. Raise your other two puppies...and when they are fully grown and trained and mature...then start looking for a good breeder, or adopt one from rescue.
