If I am not honest with myself, how am I to assess whether a dog should be bred with or not. If I am not honest to my puppy buyers, how can I expect them to be honest with me. No body wants a dog, whether it be a show dog or pet, to have health problems. Even if a dog has great hips, there are many other aspects to consider. Most people do not get a Rottweiler for anything other than a pet.
Conformation is nice to have, but good temperament is a necessity.
All dogs used in my breeding program are assessed and paired with a dog that I believe will be able to supply good conformation. Even if a puppy buyer is buying only a pet, they still want their dog to look like a Rottweiler. They do not want to buy a dog that ends up to be a very poor specimen of the breed or, worse still, looking like a cross breed.
