What matters most in the first weeks

Choose the right breeder

A responsible breeder tests the parents for hereditary conditions, socialises the puppies and offers aftercare. Always visit the breeder in person and ask about the parents.

The first days at home

Give your puppy time to settle in. A quiet corner with a bed, plenty of toys and a consistent schedule help with the transition to the new home.

Socialisation is crucial

The first 16 weeks shape your Rottweiler's character. Let your puppy gather positive experiences with people, other dogs, sounds and situations.

Handy tips for new owners

Puppy-proof your home

Remove dangerous objects, protect cables and put toxic plants out of reach. A Rottweiler puppy is curious and loves to chew.

Start puppy training

Enrol in a puppy class as soon as possible. Learning in a group is not only fun but essential for the socialisation of your Rottweiler.

Feeding plan

A Rottweiler puppy needs food formulated for large breeds. This promotes healthy growth and prevents problems with bones and joints.

Puppy moments

Playing, romping and then falling asleep completely exhausted.
