My buddy owns the biggest rott I,ve ever laid eyes on. Very mild and playful temper.

I'd like to find a mate for him in order to pick a puppy when/if a litter comes.

If anyone has any interest in this please email. I have pics, and we can make arrangements.

TIA

Just because the Rottie is a big dog, doesn't automatically mean she's a good bitch for breeding. If the dog is registered and from good bloodlines, has had hip certification, etc, only then should it be bred. The same goes for the male. Careful analysis also needs to be done of both bloodlines to make sure you are only mixing the dogs with complimentary genes.

Way too many dogs end up in the pound because of careless breedings that produce dogs that are too much to handle.

I know there are way too many dogs out there but this dog is pure german w/ no AKC papers. The real deal with a blue dot on his tongue and everything.

I plan to ensure that all pups get parents.

I hate to snob dog-snobish, but I've been around the dog sport/breeding community for a while now...

If you want GOOD puppies, noone with a certified female, with titles, that is breeding it, will let an unpapered dog without titles sexor it. IF, and that's a big IF, the dog is from highly exceptional blood lines, you might be able to find someone. Owners of the female will generally pay a stud fee, but you can sometime negotiate for pick of the litter.

Also, a Rottie is a working dog. If either of them are from working blodlines, they will not make good all around family pets. If BOTH are from working lines, then you will have puppies that will be great competition dogs, but in NO way should be put into a home with children!

Since the owners of the female have to do all the work (and believe me, welping dogs is A LOT of work), they get the puppies in the litter.

Using a bitch that is pure bred, certified and titled is the only way to ensure the best, healthiest pups that will be around for their full expected lifetime.

We have a pure bred German Shepherd that is from great working blood lines that we'd love to breed. Such a great genetic disposition, work ethic, and all around solid temperament. He knows when its time to work and when its not. I trust him around infants and kids, both of which he absolutely adores. In the last few years (he's about 9 now) he's developed a bit of a stiff back. It could be from an injury, or something in his genes. Because this could potentially be a fault that would carry on, we've decided that we can not responsibly breed him.

The plan was to waive the stud fee for the pick of the litter.

I would only want one male pup. My bud has his hands full with his dog.

I admit being selfish by doing this, but I have had the chance to observe this dog over the last 4 yrs. I think for the breed, his temper and personality are desirable as a "family dog".

He's 8 now and in perfect health which I take as another sign of a good bloodline. I just wanted to throw this out there.

Would you recommend any rott breeders in the area?

and he's got the papers, your best bet is to actually go to the person that was the breeder of his Rottie. That info should be on the dogs papers. Tell them you like that dog and if the dogs mother has produced good pups, they will continue to breed her.

I've asked my wife for input, since she's far more knowledgeable on the breeds and their specs than I am. Her input is that REAL German Rotties are not supposed to be big. That is a fault that American breeders have bred into the lines.

Also, because the dog is healthy at 8 years old, it only means that its a very well taken care of dog. Its possible that the litter mates have all died. Also possible that the mother was bred only 2 or 3 times and has died.

Regarding the 'blue spot' ... Our GSD has a blue sot on his tongue, so did our foster Chief, the mixed breed St Bernard and English Setter mix. So its not a sign of being pure and/or German.
