If he is not going to be a "show dog"...then he could not be a stud dog.
Heaven help this breed if anyone that does not even know if their puppy is purebred, and has one blue eye even thinks of "studding" this dog.

I suggest you do some reading of the "stickies" on the Breeding Forum.

take it easy its a dog he is full i just dont know why he has a blue eye, i can care less what you say i already have people offering to buy a litter from him, he has no health problems so what are you going crazy about, keep your dog buy whatever you want,

[brunie's mom]

He is not "full" if he has a blue eye. Somewhere I suspect there was a husky around, or some other breed.
Rottweiler standard is brown eyes. Please do the breed a favor and have him neutered, and do NOT even think of allowing him to breed. We do NOT need anymore BYB dogs being bred.

I can guarantee you this pup came from a BYB...or you would not even have been asking this question.

Has this puppy even been to see the vet yet?

moe0001 I think some get carried away with some of this stuff. If the vet has said that the pup is fine, then the pup is fine. Ok, so maybe somewhere back up the road the blue eye trait was introduced to that line...I think it looks pretty cool.

Like I said earlier, if you wanted to seriously compete in shows with this dog or seriously try to stud this dog you would probably run into problems with the diehards for the breed. But, he should still make for a great companion and family member.

i agree its changing the breed but everyday i see mix rottis why not just have that blue eye cause it look just so crazy, he atracks the most people at the park

Um, are you SERIOUS?

He can't be shown like that, even if he was registered ... and there is NO WAY he can be of pedigreed heritage that I have ever read, seen or heard of that would cause a blue eye in a Rottweiler .... NO WHERE. So, stud him out and make more great family members? Seriously, what site do you think you are on? FANTASTIC ADVICE (note: sarcasm)

Rottweilers never have blue eyes. Eyes are always brown, the darker the better...that's the standard for the breed. If this puppies eye is really blue, then it must be a mix.

To the OP, please take your puppy to the vet...he should have been checked out the day you brought him home. He may need vaccinations as well as worming.

I have seen a purebred rottweiler with one blue eye. She was out of a litter from my oldest boy's kennel. The breeder told the buyer the eye color would change, as far as I know it did not.

I think you're misreading my posts...I totally get what you are saying, but as a family member/companion moe's dog is fine. Moe would run into problems if he/she wanted to show the dog...If moe decides to breed that dog, well then that is his/her choice, reguardless of what any of us think.

I know I didn't post before but you should understand that alarm bells go off when someone is a novice member and comes onto this forum and even thinks of breeding their dog, especially to make "something cool looking" the op doesn't know ANYTHING about his dog's parents or bloodlines. He could produce pups that look cool but have bad hips and worse. These people on this site are looking out for the future of the breed that we all love, plain and simple. Hopefully education will help "moe" to make proper decisions about his dog. If he is interested in breeding then he should read and learn.

Why you ask? Because somewhere down the line another breed got mixed in, or, this dog is a mutt. JMO Please have this dog neutered.

If moe decides to breed that dog, well then that is his/her choice, reguardless of what any of us think.

Hopefully Moe will stick around and learn something. Then s/he will truly understand WHY we think the way we think. S/he will then understand that it's not about him/her, but about the breed. Hopefully you will stick around and learn also. Then you too will understand.

No I don't think I am misreading your post.

You're right it is Moe's choice. Only he/she can decide what is the right thing to do. Our whole life is made up of choices, some better than others. But when the dog can not offer anything to the genetic betterment of the breed there should be no decision other than to not allow this animal to procreate.

The point being made is this dog has nothing to offer the breed. It may be the best, cutest, most wonderful dog in the world but that doesn't mean it should be bred. Shelters are filled with cute, wonderful dogs. Look on petfinder and there are hundreds of thousands of dogs just like this.

Hopefully Moe will understand and make the right choice.

If you use the term "diehards" to mean those people who know the breed standard inside and out, know how to read pedigrees, know that the purpose of breeding is for one reason and only one reason (and that's to better the breed), know the importance of titling fore and aft, know the importance of health clearances on dam and sire (and for several generations back), and other such details, then yes, you'll get taken to task by the diehards.

Many nincompoops think breeding an out of standard dog is a good idea. This diehard is here to tell you it isn't.

Read thru the postings in Breeding to find out how it's really done by the knowledgeable (diehards to you).

Then read thru the postings in Rescue to find out how everybody else does it.

Diligent reading of the postings in both should remove you from the nincompoop category if you have any intelligence at all.

Shoot, anyone who simply thinks that purebred dogs should be purebred would be against that breeding.

A few years ago in a shelter here there was a dog that 'looked' like a pure bred Rottweiler apart from the fact that he had two vivid blue eyes. He was the most fascinating looking dog, I couldn't take my eyes off him. Everything except the colour of his eyes looked pure Rottweiler.

Fortunately the shelter desexes all dogs before they're adopted out. At least that way no aspiring back yard breeder would have the opportunity to breed more pound fodder from him. Neither would they have questions about breeding or showing a 'cool' looking dog answered by folk who know little to nothing about breeding only for the right reason.

A total yo yo of a person adopted this dog because of his bright blue eyes. A week later they returned the dog to the shelter because....it dug a hole in their lawn!!

I was about to rescue this dog to prevent it from being adopted by an equally stupid person but fortunately he was adopted out to a loving family who adore him and trained him. He is an old dog now who is much loved and a well cared for couch potato and he still has those incredible blue eyes. (he also dug a few holes in their lawn but they were able to cope with the catastrophe)

I also know of a purebred Rottweiler with a blue eye. I also saw the eye. It was the strangest thing.

The eye did not change but I do not believe there was any Husky in the line.
