How much does a Rottweiler cost in the US?

Answer 1

As a proud owner of a purebred Rottie, I can tell you that PRICE isn't always the factor in getting a quality dog, but it usually is. More importantly, you want to buy from a breeder who makes you fill out an application before owning one of these magnificent animals. They should want to know your living situation- do you have kids, pets, cats, how big is your house, etc, etc. Sound strange? For a reputable breeder, that is absolutely paramount. If they are willing to just "sell" you one without asking you questions, run the other direction. And stay away from newspaper ads, craig-list, etc.

My breeder makes people "apply" in advance and they are placed onto a waiting list. Based on precisely what type of dog you are looking for (family/copmpanion dog, farm dog, working dog) and what sex, a puppy is then selected FOR YOU from the most recent litter; a dog that displays traits early on that will most likely fit exactly what you want.

DO YOUR RESEARCH.

I'd be afraid to pay less than $1000 for a good, purebred Rott from a breeder.
