There are several COE rottweiler breeders in / around Calgary....none of whom I KNOW have had litters during that time frame.
That being said there is also a very prolific byb that lives around Calgary somewhere who has taken the commercialization of rottweiler puppies to a whole new level. I've heard that IF you can't afford a puppy from her that is OK she will GIVE you a puppy however her name stays on its registration papers and then you owe her a whole litter of puppies back by 1-1.5 years of age. She encourages her puppy homes to themselves become byb'ers.
I can't tell you how many of her homes contact me for advice or training concerns or for a new puppy in the future after they get tired of all the garbage that this "breeder" puts them thru. Its rather shocking that her antics have been allowed to continue for so many years.
Did animal services check her over thoroughly for any form of ID? Even this breeder whom I'm thinking of does permanently ID her puppies as she does register everything....so if it came from her there would be either a tattoo or microchip. We've actually seen a fair number of her dogs in the pound and all we've ever seen is tattoos actually.
I'm glad that you have a lovely puppy now for yourselves. Enjoy her and make a lovely companion and ambassador of the breed out of her!!
In terms of your comment of bilateral brown spots at her ears.....its a growth thing with puppies.....most of my babies have had the spots (its actually undercoat showing through the puppy coat) and it goes away once she develops her adult coat!!
