I have an adult male rottie that I would like to breed.
I am interested in breeding him mostly because of his incredible
temperment.
He is AKC certified and UTD on all shots. He has solid hips and no
healt
probs. or heredity problems.
If anyone has an AKC female and is interested please reply here of by
e-mail at .
I would like to keep it local.
Thanks!

The AKC registers, it does not certify. What is his registered name
so someone can look at his OFA report? What else has he been tested
for? How old is he? How closely does he conform to the breed
standard?

and of course, you give no location! What other requirements do you
have for the bitch except that she's AKC registered? Her OFA report?
Other health testing proof? Temperament evaluation? Breed ring
success? Conforms to breed standard?

So many more reasons not to breed than to breed. Maybe going back to
the same breeder where you got your pup would be a good way to get a
new pup with a terrific temperament too.

I think it is terrific that you love your dog. Are you opened minded
enough to consider you might have more to learn?

You say your dog has no "heredity" problems. Which is teriffic. But it
leaves me curious about how, exactly, you determined this. None of the
words you used in your post suggested familiarity with the genetic health
problems in the breed. So what genetic health issues are common to the
breed, and how to did determine that you dog is clear for them? I don't
think you would deliberately ignore doing what it takes to breed for
healthy puppies, but I do think it is likely you don't yet know what you
need to do.

Breeding for good temperament is important. But so is the whole package.
Personally I'm just tired of how many good nice Rottweilers are killed due
to lack of homes. I think most of the breeders that created them had good
intentions, but the dogs still die. It takes a lot of commitment to breed
and keep the puppies alive and healthy into old age.

Are you prepared to accept that out of the litter of 10 to 12 puppies that
about half will die before they are two? Because that is what statistics
say will happen. It doesn't happen with every litter, but it does happen
with most large breed litters where the breeder (that would be you) is
unprepared for what it takes to breed healthy puppies and place them in
permanent homes. You aren't exactly born knowing what it will take to
keep those puppies alive. It takes becoming involved in the breed, in
rescue, in understanding WHY this happens, and understanding canine
genetics.

I am sorry if I am being vague. I did not want to give out too much
information, mostly looking to see if anyone in the area was
interested. I did not give a location because I thought this was a
local group.
Thank you for the information and advice.

That's a different kind of explanation. Sorry, I'm clueless about why
fully describing what you dog has to offer to the breed would be a bad
thing. What harm were your risking if you had given more information?

Bitch owners pretty much have their pick of good studs, so it would be
pretty unusual for one to see good things in so little information.

mostly looking to see if anyone in the area was

What was the situation that made it appear to be local?
