There are some puppies up the street for sale. We have been doing a lot of research on breeds but haven't decided. I like the idea of a mixed breed, but I'm not sure about rotties.
Any insight?

I can pretty much predict that those puppies will be extremely active dogs, so if you get one be prepared for lots of exercise. They'll be very intelligent, and could get bored easily in small spaces, which could bring on destructive habits such as digging and excessive barking if you live in a small home with a small backyard or an apartment.
With your concern about Rottweilers, I can say that, raised right, they are not at all bad dogs. Any dog can bite or cause destruction given the chance, so a good, firm, and consistent owner is crucial in owning a powerful breed. They are not a good dog for a beginner owner, but perfect for someone familiar with dogs and their behavior.

You never know. There's never any guarantee with mixed breeds, no matter what any breeders say (especially about the designer dog fad), so if there's something keeping you hesitant about Rotties, for whatever reason, don't go for it and assume that the undesired trait won't be there. Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong, it will.
Try getting an adult dog from the shelter - spend some time with it and soon you'll know exactly what it's like. Adult dogs are much more stable than younger ones. :)
Good luck!

Yikes..that mix has potential to be disastrous or wonderful. If a rottie collie cross has a proper upbringing ( obedience and lots of socialization) you will have a very intelligent confident , and affectionate companion. If not, there is a chance the animal could become insecure and very aggressive. It depends on your commitment to your pet.

It sort of depends on the temperaments of the parents. There's no telling what they'd be like. They probably look a little odd though.
If I were you, I wouldn't get them. The people are probably backyard breeders and it isn't right for them to gain from their wrong doing.
Just go to the shelter if you want a mixed breed.

This includes housetraining, leash training, obedience training, socialization, and problem solving. In addition to providing your dog with needed skills, this time will also be a great opportunity for you to bond with him. Take the time to really get to know your pet while training him and a loving relationship will easily develop.

Be careful with mixed breeds if you really want one that looks like that try a goldendoodle (golden retriver mixed with poodle)
