Besides, behavioral traits of 16
weeks old dogs are known to be more evident than those of very
young dogs, needless to say about older Rottweilers but sudden
change of surrounding conditions and owner may involve numerous
problems connected with education and training of Rottweiler. But
this does not mean that you should disclaim all the intention of
purchasing Rottweiler, for example, that is 4-5 months old.
The main thing for you to do is to consult a dog breeder and
carefully watch Rottweiler during its living in Kennel. It is
reasonable to choose Rottweiler-late bloomer provided that you are
sure in your own tutorial capabilities, have enough patience to
work with dog as well as keep in continuous touch with dog breeder
who will be able to give you an advisory opinion.
You should not forget that when buying a puppy-late bloomer you as
its future owner will have to gain more knowledge and patience
concerning proper education of the dog; therefore it is necessary
for you to get close consultation of a specialist in regard to
this issue.
The advantage of getting of 16-18 weeks Rottweiler puppy is that
breed standard characteristics of the dogs at this age are
possible to identify to a closer approximation and it is much
easier at this age rather than at the age of 2 months old to find
out if Rottweiler is susceptible to probable development of a
disease.
Many future dog owners prefer having a young but still not
grown-up Rottweiler, thinking that an adult animal will not be
able to acclimatize itself to new environment and appearance of
already grown-up and developed Rottweiler in house will involve
unsolvable problems. However this opinion is very categorical.
If you buy a dog that is already grown-up from an experienced dog
breeder then you may feel almost secure about its health and the
ability to social adaptation. Certainly, you will have to devote
many efforts during educational process but you should be informed
that problems and troubles will be the same as while keeping an
infant dog.
Purchase of an adult Rottweiler is nowhere near worst choice and
such dog is quite capable to habituate itself to new environment
and cope with tasks given to it by its current owner. Now we
should consider some moments that new Rottweiler’s owner will face
before getting an adult dog of this breed.
Most probably you will have to find out why this dog was not taken
from a breeder before when it was a little puppy. As likely as not
that this Rottweiler was bought when it was a puppy but later on
it just was handed back to the first owner failing in dog
education and management or due to some other reasons.
Exactly specific causation of the return produces numerous
problems because former owner rarely acknowledge their mistakes
committed during the educative process of dog Rottweiler.
