Answer 1

Some of the prior people are offeing you some good advise, but only part of the story.
1) You need to check your AKC registration to see how your dog is registered. If its limited reg the pups can not be AKC registered and the dog can not. This is a pet dog nothing else. This type of dog can be bred but the pups have little value. If its full reg the pups can be AKC registered and the dog can be shown at a dog show.

If you want contact a local kennel club and find out who is a local judge for your breed. Call them and ask them to take a look at your dog for conformation purposes. They will evaluate stud potential.

You can now show your dog if you like to have. This shows breeders your dog and drums up stud bussiness.

After that check your dogs pedigree for champion stock. Also contact OFFA.org to see how the parents and grandparents genetics are to see if any hip, elbow or eye problems exist.

Then at 18 mo you can have your dogs hips checked and recorded at the offa. Testing for hip, elbow defects.

After that you can stud your dog. Contact local breeders on AKC.org breeders classified or breeders listings on next day pets also do a breed seach on the internet

Answer 2

First you need the Pedigree Papers.
Vet exam.
Shots
Xrays

Using the Pedigree papers select a bitsh who also has the Pedigree papers. Check blood lines carefully and KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that that you are not breeding in negative traits or predispositions for specific illnesses that are common for the breed.

If you don't have Pedigree Papers on your dog all you have is a pet quality dog. Meaning that the dog does not meet the standards of the breed. Check the breed standard to see how your dog measures up. Breeding dogs is a precise procedure using genetics and genetic grids for the best possible outcome.

If you don't know what faults your dog carries ask an expert breeder to look at your dog and let you know what they are. You don't want to breed two dogs together that carry the same recessive genes, that guantees that the pups will have the same fault, it now becomes more of a dominate fault.

Know what you are doing before you even start thinking about it. It is far more important than you can imagine.

Answer 3

Before you set out to breed your dog, there are some serious health, legal, and financial risks you must understand.
You must take any animal to be bred to the veterinarian for a complete physical examination, including blood work, fecal examination, and health history. You MUST rule out any potential health and genetic defects that may be passed on to the female or to the puppies. Rottweilers are a breed predisposed to some severe genetic defects which may jeopardize the pup's lives.

You must have the dog's temperament evaluated. In what are termed "aggressive breed dogs" this is an especially important consideration both for placement of future pups and legal issues.

Any female that your dog services MUST also have a complete physical exam and temperament test. The owner of the female must have the time and resources to properly care for the mother and puppies and be dedicated to finding long-term, responsible homes for the pups... "dominate-aggressive" breeds are often the first to be dumped on the side of the road or at "kill-shelters" when there is a health or behavioral problem. Please be a responsible breeder!

Answer 4

First you need to have your guy evaluated by a show judge to determine if your Rottie is an outstanding example of the breed. Then you should wait until he is at least 2 years old and have genetic health testing done to make sure he has no physical weaknesses that can be passed on genetically. Breeding stock is not based on beauty only. I suggest getting your boy neutered. It will reduce the chances of his developing cancer later on in life .

Answer 5

The best way is to show him. The breeders at the shows will see him, if they like what they see they will contact you.

BTW, you'll want to make sure he's had his health screening, like OFA for hips and elbows, CERF for eyes, Thyroid test, heart test for problems like SAS..... Check with the national Rottweiler Club for a full list. Breeders won't be interested in using a dog that isn't certified for health.

If you don't know what those abbreviations stand for, you are nowhere near knowledgeable enough to be even thinking of breeding. Join the American Rottwieler Club, your local Rottie club, and your local kennel club to learn about proper dog breeding.

Make sure you don't allow him to be used on substandard females, all the puppies he produces are a reflection on him. If people see one of his pups and it's a crappy one, they won't be in a hurry to use him.

Answer 6

I'm sure you know that everyone would be happier if you did not add to the pet overpopulation, but...if you have an extraordinary dog of good stock and comes from a good documented bloodline, You can advertise on the AKC website or in your local paper.
