By: Sharon Davies

After decided to adopt a Rottweiler puppy you need to know how you can find a healthy and happy Rottweiler puppy to add to your household. The first time dog owner or Rottweiler owner can find this a bit difficult unless you follow a few general tips to find the right dog for your household.
One of the most important tips to finding the right dog is to select a Rottweiler puppy that approaches you or at the very least won't shy away when you approach them. You should never select a Rottweiler puppy that is fearful or aggressive. Rather the puppy should be friendly and allow you to hold and handle them.
When it comes to the Rottweiler puppy you want to carefully examine their back legs. Since Rottweilers are in general large dogs they can have problems with their back hips, which are costly to fix. In order to reduce the chance of having a dog that will develop these problems you should avoid a Rottweiler puppy that has hips that are grossly turned out and for the most part face forward. Also make sure the puppy's parents don't have a history of hip disorders since some of these conditions can be hereditary.

The mother should also have adequate time to recover after having a litter before she is bred again. There can be a problem with a puppy's health and behavior if a female Rottweiler is over bred.
While it can be difficult to ask questions you should always remember that a good breeder will be eager to answer your questions and is very helpful. Often the best breeders will even give you all the general facts without you having to ask and then allow you to assess the traits of the parents.
Good breeders won't push you because they will want to make sure you are raising your puppy right. So don't be afraid to ask any questions, especially the important ones such as the health history of the parents.
