As a rule, Rottweiler puppies are taken from a breeder when they
are 8-10-12 weeks old. Then you can get acquainted with brief
description of main characteristics of Rottweiler puppy during
these age periods. The puppies at the age of 8 weeks old are known
to be already more or less independent, self-determined; they are
not so much attached to their mother as before in first weeks of
their life and generally speaking do not need her care anymore.
Eight weeks age is an optimal age of Rottweiler when you can buy
the puppy from a breeder however in this case it is necessary to
consider one more detail: insufficient adaptiveness of the dog of
this age to relationship with its fellows. The puppy is not still
the same confident as older Rottweiler when dealing with other
dogs.
Nevertheless Rottweiler puppies are more often bought from a
breeder just at the age of 8 weeks old. In this case it is
strongly recommended that the puppy should meet its co-brothers as
often as possible even participate in playing with the dogs of
about the same age.
Lack of communication between young dogs may be supplied for
example, if making acquaintance with their owners who bought
Rottweiler puppies of approximately the same age in this very
Kennel. If you start ignoring the necessity of due social
adaptation of Rottweiler puppy, it may give occasion to a number
of unpleasant situations in future.
It is quite enough room in Kennel for Rottweiler puppy to play
with congeners
Unquestioning advantage of getting 8-weeks old Rottweiler puppy is
a change of environmental conditions that is favorable for the
dog’s development. Indeed, getting into new environment, new
house; observing unfamiliar people, the puppy gets so many various
impressions!
But if you decide to purchase Rottweiler puppy when it is already
10-12 weeks old then you may be sure that young Rottweiler already
has fair number of social experience got in company of its
brothers and sisters. Accommodation of such puppy to its congeners
in new medium will go more tranquilly and peacefully.
There is just a situation left when Rottweiler puppy lives in
Kennel more than 16 weeks. Purchase of such dog can be compared
with getting of young but already matured dog from another owner
and it is will be much more difficult for such dog to get
accustomed to new environment.
Rottweilers taken from Kennel custody, when they are 16 weeks old
and older, do not accommodate themselves to their owners as soon
as younger dogs. This may account for longer lack of communication
with people, dominant position of older dogs that live in this
very Kennel and also some other reasons.
