VISITOR POLICY
At AKC Rottweiler Puppies, we are dedicated to raising the healthiest puppies for our new owners. To ensure the best experience for both you and your puppy, we have policies regarding visits:
If you’re looking for a reputable breeder and want to avoid puppy mills or scams (and you absolutely should), you’re welcome to request references, contact our vet (who personally conducts all exams), reach out to me directly, and review our health care guarantee. This will give you the confidence you need to know you’re working with a trusted breeder.
Before bringing your puppy home, please consult with your vet about vaccination schedules and when it will be safe for your puppy to be exposed to public spaces where other dogs or people may have been. While many websites recommend visiting the breeder and meeting their dogs for peace of mind, it’s important to consider the health of the puppy and the adult dogs as well.
Our puppies are raised in our home, meaning any visit to meet them would also involve interacting with the puppies’ mama and the adult dogs, which could pose health risks for everyone involved. After your initial deposit or full payment, I’m happy to provide you with pictures and videos of your puppy. I can also arrange a FaceTime session so you can meet your chosen puppy virtually.
Puppy Safety
Puppy immune systems are not mature enough to handle most outside influences until they are approximately 12 weeks old. Some unsuspecting people and their yards have been exposed to Parvovirus, distemper, etc. If those same people visit my young puppies it could result in the death of the entire litter.
If the mama of my puppies is stressed out because there are strangers in the house with her young puppies and jumps up to assess the threat , she can harm the puppies.
Because she is stressed, the nutritional value of her milk changes, which stresses the puppies. If the puppies are too stressed, their little bodies cannot fight sickness.
Finally, other people like you have put deposits on their puppies…they are anxiously waiting…. and now their puppies are also under threat of injury or sickness.
For the safety of my family and my dogs
I often receive calls and emails from strangers—people I only know through basic information, which I sincerely hope is accurate, but I can’t be sure. When you contact me, you’re essentially being invited into my home, and that brings potential risks to the safety of my dogs and family.
The time spent with visitors is time away from my family and my dogs. My family, especially my children, deserves my attention. Raising puppies and caring for dogs requires a lot of time and energy to ensure they get the proper care, training, and love they deserve.
While I don’t encourage in-person visits, I am more than happy to connect with you in other ways. I’ll gladly talk to you on the phone, FaceTime if that’s your preference, and send you text updates with pictures and videos of your puppy. I’ll answer all your questions and assist with any details regarding shipping, pickup, or anything else related to your puppy.
I’m a real person who deeply cares about her dogs and their puppies, and I’m always happy to help. Your trust and understanding mean a lot to me.
