The Rottweiler is a large powerful and sometimes strong minded dog that is not for everyone, he is best suited to an owner that is willing to work with him; he is not suited to being shut in a yard with no stimulation. The National Rottweiler Council (Australia) has a database with the results of Members Breeding Stock, a simple check can verify the results of the parents of pups you may be interested in. You can also research the Pedigree of the parents.
