Posh is amazing. We have 5 boys and 5 girls.
Update, she just had puppy #11. A girl. That one must have been hiding well on x ray.

Posh is in labor. She has delivered two pups so far and 8 to go. It's going to be a busy evening.

Many people think a Rottweiler puppy is just a smaller version of an adult. Not quite. 🐾

Puppies are full of energy, need constant training, and have short bursts of activity throughout the day. Adult Rottweilers are usually more focused, more confident, and naturally more protective of their family.

The work you put in during the puppy stage shapes the dog you get as an adult. Consistent training, socialization, and exercise make all the difference.

Which stage is your favorite: Puppy or Adult? 👇

I copied and pasted this. These words are very true.

WHAT A BREEDER NEVER SAYS OUT LOUD....!!!!
🤔 People often think that a breeder lives among perfect dogs. But they forget everything that goes into bringing these little miracles into the world. Photos are sweet, but the reality is intense and demanding.

✨ Every birth is a lottery.
You can prepare, plan, and study everything… but not a single delivery goes exactly as hoped.
Every time it feels like the first time, even after years of experience.

😢 Death is our greatest enemy.
A bitch who develops complications, a puppy that doesn't make it…

It happens unexpectedly and breaks your heart every time.

✨ Using a good stud dog costs money and effort.
Travel expenses, matings, tests, nighttime care…

And then hoping that everything goes well: diarrhea, infections, stunted growth.
Breeding is an investment: financial, emotional, and physical.

✨Bottle feeding? Cute, yes… for the first five minutes.

But after that, feeding every 2–3 hours, day and night, for weeks.

That is pure survival mode, with a whole lot of energy as salvation.

🤦‍♀️ People often view puppies as “business”:

“Number of puppies × price = profit!”

But they forget the:

• Health & Genetic testing
• Matings
• Shows
• Training
• Nutrition
• Veterinarian
• Care and hygiene
• Photoshoots, advertising, websit
• Kilograms of food and mountains of poop!!🙈

What is left? Rarely a gold bar. Let alone a decent hourly wage 😁

😴 Sleepless nights are inevitable.
No weekends, no vacation, no break.

🤫 Who really raises the puppies?

The bitch… AND the breeder.
Every small infection can threaten an entire litter.

😬 And the question “Why is it so expensive?”

If we got a euro for every time…

The dogs would be eating caviar instead of kibble or meat.

😵‍💫 Future owners always make us worried.
A puppy isn't a package you just send off.
We choose adopters carefully; sometimes we refuse, sometimes we wait longer.

🫥 Emotional fatigue?
You almost never see that.
The pressure, the responsibility, watching over every detail…

And the loneliness during an emergency.

🤐 Sometimes we want to quit.
After loss. After setbacks. After exhaustion.

And then a pup opens its little eyes… and everything starts all over again.
It is a passion that never lets you go!

🙏 The grief of loss…

We rarely talk about that.
But with every farewell, a piece of us dies with them. Yet we rise again, for the puppies that still need a home.

🥰 Yes, there are beautiful moments.
Yes, there is immense joy.
But behind every experienced breeder lies a path full of sleepless nights, tears…

And an unconditional love for these special animals.♥️🥰♥️
