Hello Everyone,

We really need help here and I hope there is someone out there who can help us.

We have a wonderful healthy (male) purebred Rottweiler that was bought from a Rottweiler breeding kennel in Hong Kong, he is about 3 years old, have had up-to-date vaccinations, great temperament and we are desperately trying to find a purebred female Rottweiler who might be able to breed.

We would only like to keep 1 puppy and I'm not really sure how this whole processing works, but we are willing to pay some money for that puppy.

Does anyone know anyone or remotely know anyone who might have a purebred female Rottweiler?

I don't know if I'm allowed to post pictures here, but I have some of him from when he was a puppy til now and I'm able to sent it to you via email if you like.

Thank you in Advance

Yan

What's wrong with the original breeding kennel you got your dog from?

Potential alternative is try contacting the HK Kennel Club.

First ever Geoexpat post and you say you're looking to breed...I'm a little suspicious. Also, like PC-man said, what's wrong with using the HK breeding kennel you got him from?

There's alot of not-so-above-board breeding that happens in HK (we see alot of the "reject" puppies at the rescue centers). I hope you're not one of them...

Hey PC_Man, thanks for your reply. I remember I've asked my mum sometime ago why don't or didn't we ask the Rottie breeder to help us, I can't remember exactly what she said, its either something like it will cost us an arm and a leg to do it or he basically don't do that type of thing because of inbred (hope i've used the term correctly).

With the HK Kennel Club, my only concern is does my dog have to have a birth certificate? ( I honestly don't know whether we even have one, have to check) do we have to bring our dog to their association to run a series of test or some sort? OK, I understand this is sounding a bit weird here because someone just mentioned its my first post and I asked for breeding~~ its very suspicious, I know! and now i'm asking whether I have to do a series of test as if I'm hiding something.

I don't know how to prove myself to be legitimate besides telling a little bit about myself, of course you are free to check out the information if you guys want since you don't want a scammer to be in your forum too.

Here is goes, I'm currently completing an MEd course (Master of Education specialising psychology of Education) in Univeristy of Bristol in the UK. Family runs a bicycle company called BSP bikes, you can google it if you want and ring up the company or email the manager and double check all the details I've written here. We live around the STK restricted area of Hong Kong, most of the people knows us, just ask the family with european dogs and they'll point you to the right direction.

Ok, back to the HK Kennel Club, is there like a group within the club that specialises in breeding or do I have to post up something or meet someone there, hoping that we'll find another rottie member?

I asked my friend last night, she said I should try pet stores, might ring mum and give that a try!

Cheers for the infos though!

Sorry almost forgot to reply your post~ I know its really suspicious of me asking so much from my first post, I don't know what to say, except if I wasn't desperate I wouldn't be posting here. I would imagine the total number of people that have pets in Hong Kong, that knows English, that are computer literate and have female Rottweilers and knows about this site and who are willing to post threads here are not so high wouldn't you say? and I think if I was a scammer, I wouldn't go through all this trouble with so little reward if any...

And 'no' I'm not one of those no-so-above-board average puppies that gets rejected, believe it or not I'm actually a person!

All we want is a decent little puppy, we've own a rottie before and a dog I can't remember what breed, big dog with white fur with big brown spots, now we own 2 Great Danes, 2 German Shepards and a Rottie, and to be honest we know for a fact that this Rottweiler temperament is so hard to find. It will be such a waste not to breed it. Guess it all comes down to fate I suppose, thanks for you comments though.

Do you know what it takes to actually be a responsible breeder? Are you going to test for hips, ova, cert. are you going to get all of the Xrays, do you know how old a female should be to before she is bred? Breeding a dog just to breed is not a good thing. It should be to improve the breed, not just for puppies to sell.
There are more than enough animals in shelters in HK waiting for homes, or going to be put down. Just get your dog fixed he will be more happy.
Also, a reputable breeder, would not sell a dog out to someone who will breed one of their puppies.
When you say breeding kennel, it sounds like the typical HK puppy farm.

Hi Yannos,

If you haven't done this before then there is a lot to consider.

You've mentioned that the prev kennel may be costly but it's likely that any person you contact will have a stud fee and raising a pregnant bitch and the pups after will all build up significant expense.

Not sure what the requirements are at the kennel club but I hope that some of what Jlong mentioned would be required including hip xrays to assess if likely to pass hip dysplasia to the pups or not.
Best is to contact them direct and see if they can help, if you wish to proceed.

Do you have plans for the other pups? You can expect probably 8-10 pups (could be more or less though). If you're not sure what to do with all but 1 pup then it is probably best to hold for now, as finding homes can be difficult especially for such large dogs.

I just cannot get into dog breeding what so ever when I see how many beauties are put down every day here - pure bred and mongrels...............I really wish you would re consider breeding your dog.

Jlong, thanks for the infos, to be honest I never thought it'll be that complicated e.g need to have x-rays done and other checks. I guess what you and Pc-man is try to get across to me is that all these checks are neccessary to ensure nothing goes wrong to the pups after the breeding takes place so they don't go to animal shelters. I can only say they won't no matter what happens, but you are so right in pointing out to breed dogs is to improve the race.

We actually do want more than 1 pup, we more like want 3-4 or more because we have more than enough space in hong kong for the dogs to play, but we always thought the owner with the female rottie will have more say than us in how many we could have.

All the points taken, thanks people, now I just wish I could have change my topic to 'What does it take to breed a dog' instead of looking for a breeder.
Uploaded some photos hope they show, these are taken with my mobile camera the minute before i left to uk, he's a bit of the chubby side, we're working on it.
