Questions about breeding my dog

[bdfoop81]

I have a female rottweiler about 8 1/2 to 9 months and i was wondering if there is any way to find out if she is german or american. because from what i heard german rotts have coarser thicker and kind of wavey hair, and thts what she has. Well I wan to breed her and i want to know at around what age is it recommended to breed her? cuz i know that they go in heat after six months and she has a bled a bit.But like what age is recommended? And how do you know when she gets pregnant when u take her to a stud if u never watch them? how do u know that they did there business already?and do they get preganat on the first try?

Sigh............please do a search on breeding here.

It is a job best left to experts and not for the novice owner.

With all these questions on basics of breeding and the breed itself, you can surely see that breeding your female is not something you should be doing. Please read through the Breeding Forum, have your little girl spayed, and enjoy her. If you still have questions then, come on back.

Not to sound TOO harsh, but you don't know enough about the breed to know that there are no differences between a 'German' Rottweiler and an 'American' Rottweiler with the exception of their place of birth (being Germany or America), then you don't know enough yet to breed your bitch.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume because of the lack of knowledge of her background, she is not registered, why are you considering breeding her in the first place?

The money you actually SPEND on breeding and PROPERLY raising a litter of puppies to 8+ weeks of age far outweighs what you could make.

Do some research, buy some books, talk to reputable breeders, research this site, PLEASE reconsider breeding your bitch.

Please do not even consider breeding until you get her training issues under control - isn't this the dog you just posted about that has been barking and lunging at other dogs? That needs to be fixed first! THEN, you need to research her pedigree (if you don't have one of those for her, have her spayed!) and THEN you need to do her health clearances (hips, elbows, cardiac, and eyes at least!), THEN you need to have her conformation evaluated by an expert and match her up with a stud dog that has met the same requirements...she definitely should not be bred until she is at least 2 years old and has met those requirements.
