The Adoption Process

Proudly raising mahogany & black purebred Rottweiler puppies, located outside of Whitecourt, Alberta.

A Message from Brenda

Our pets are more than companions—they’re family. Living on a peaceful country farm surrounded by animals, we raise our dogs, cats, and horses with love, care, and dedication.

Our Rottweilers are known for their wonderful personalities, obedience, and excellent training. By the time they leave our nest, they’re potty-trained and ready for their new homes. We believe happy, healthy pups come from the love and attention they receive in their earliest days.

All our puppies are raised on a premium raw food diet. Some of our puppies are born with their tails and we dock their tails early for a classic Rottweiler look. Some of our puppies are born without tails or what look as “little nub”, these puppies are the Natural Bobtail Rottweilers. Our goal is to raise exceptional Rottweilers for life-long companionship.

For more details on Natural Bobtail Rottweiler puppies please follow me on Facebook, where we share videos as the puppies grow and learn to navigate their journey before they meet their forever home. Follow us on Facebook where we share videos where you can see how many puppies are born with the Natural Bobtail.

NOTE: Please understand that we will not sell the puppies to pet stores and refuse to sell our puppies to be used as fighting dogs. We sell our puppies with the intent that they will be with their new owners for their lifetime. We reserve my right to sell our puppies only to homes that we feel are suitable to the needs of the puppy and in the best interest of the new owner.

Thank you for your understanding and your interest in Rugged Rotties - CKC Registered - Natural Bobtail Rottweiler Breeder and Inspired By Raw!

FAQ

What does a puppy cost to purchase?

Male Puppy Cost: TBD
Female Puppy Cost: TBD

$500. non-refundable deposit to reserve your new puppy.

Is the deposit refundable?

Due to the nature of reserving a puppy for purchase, deposits are non-refundable.

How do you accept payment for your puppies?

You can email transfer your deposit to ruggedrotties.bh@gmail.com. The remainder is due and payable by cash when the puppy is ready for pick up at 8 weeks of age.

Can I visit the puppies before purchasing one?

Of course, you can. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for both you and puppy. Once the litter is born, we want to give mom and puppies time to bond, so we accept visitors between 4-8 weeks of age. Please give us a call to schedule a meeting.

What kind of dog food do I feed my new puppy?

When our puppies are being weaned off their mother’s milk, we raise them on raw food so it is a seamless transition. We send your new puppy home with 20 lbs of beef raw food and 1 bag of beef bones. You will be able to continue to order raw food through us, as we are a designated distributor for raw food.

When should I get my puppy spayed/neutered?

We recommend getting your puppy spayed or neutered around six months of age to prevent unwanted litters.

I can no longer keep my rottweiler, what should I do?

If an unfortunate and unforeseeable situation occurs where you have to re-home your rottweiler, I have a lifetime open door policy where I ask you to bring your pet back to me before you consider surrendering or re-homing your pet yourself. These rottweilers are still considered family even when they are adopted, so I want to give you comfort in knowing your rottweiler is welcome back to the farm at any time. Not only that, you truly do have lifetime support for your new rottweiler. If you have questions, concerns, or just want to update me on your pet’s life, I’m more than happy to be there to support you and your puppy in any way I can. Please Note: All payments made are non-refundable if a dog is returned.
