Can't wait to get my German, looking at getting one from a breeder called Freevale.

I know of Freevale, nice choice

2 of our dogs were rescues. one a purebred chihuahua and the other a cross breed. i can honestly say they are great dogs! the other we bought from a petshop and is a great little chihuahua cross. and our other oaf is the puppy of my sisters staffy x pitbull.

my next dog will be from a breeder as i will be after an italian greyhound. i love them!

I would buy a purebred (with or without papers, doesnt bother me as long as the parents have papers, its fine by me) short-nosed Rottweiler with good contrasting colours i.e. a nice bright tan, not those ones that are almost black with hardly any tan on them... From someone who's registered with the Kennel Club whether it was advertised in the paper or otherwise doesnt matter either

....Although because of all the BS bad publicity (even though its not the breed, its how they are brought up/raised as to whether they turn out savage killers! - We bred Rotties for 15+ years and never had a bad/aggressive/killer one EVER), they (rotties) arent a registered breed with the kennel club anymore

If a rottie breeder is part of the ANKC, they should abide by the code of ethics and breed standard and also be a member of the rottie club of that state and if they breed, the pups have to be papered no matter what. either fully registered or limited. If they are a member of the ANKC and the pups arn't papered then there is something dodgy going on.

code of ethics are found here- http://www.rcqld.net/about7.html

breed standard here- http://www.rcqld.net/about1.html

as mentioned by others, the rottie has never been banned from the ANKC register. dont know where you got that information from but it is not true at all.
