Hi, welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new puppy. Are you getting a male or female?
Be sure and take alot of pictures of your new addition. They grow up so fast ;)

Welcome to the Form and congrats on your new little rottie. As was mentioned, you can do a search on just about any topic and find more information than you could ever imagine! If you raise this little puppy right, you will never want another breed!

Hi! Congrats on getting your first rottie! You will find tons of helpful information here at rott.net. Just do a search on your key word or words or browse through the various forums. When I got my first rottie, I was a novice as well. I found the book "Rottweilers for Dummies" by Richard Beauchamp actually contains loads of useful information for the beginner and I recommend it. Also, be prepared to do lots of obedience training classes with your rottie. It will give you a wonderful bond with your rottie, will establish you as the "leader" in the relationship, will build your rottie's confidence and last but not least, you will have a wonderfully well mannered rottie. Good Luck!!

Hello everyone here,

Well, last week I put in my deposit for my baby. I will get him in August, unless mommy decides to have all girls. I will get him at 8 weeks. He is coming from Florida and I am so excited. Every week I buy something for him. I am needing to go get another laundry basket for more toys. He will join my shih tzu (she will have a rude awakening), and I have a greyhound. I am sure she will keep him running after her.

I haven't had a puppy for years. My sheltie passed away in November of being almost 17 years old. I raised them while I lived in San Diego and did the competition obedience.

I am excited, but so scared that I am going to screw up. I am a dog trainer, and I am buying him as a show dog. I think that I am wanting to do everything so perfect. I will be able to take him to work with me every day.

The way I trained years ago, and the way I train now are two different ways. I am leaning toward totally getting motivated with toys. Treats too.

I am still trying to figure out what type of brush I need etc.

Congrats! I will be getting mine in about 5 or 6 weeks. Luckily, a woman my wife works with has a breeding pair of rotts. They have papers etc. And have been thoroughly checked. We have a couple of other dogs here that were raised as pups so I'm not overly concerned. Nice thing I have 50 acres
and live out in the country so there is lots of room to run around.
