Hi, im looking to purchase a Rottweiler puppy from Southern Ireland and bring home to the UK. Can anyone adivse on a good genuine breeder who can supply me with a well bred puppy and also can advise me of the required documentation required needed many thanks Zoe
 
Why do you want to import from Ireland? Is it because you want a docked Rottweiler rather than one with a tail? More and more good, reputable breeders in Ireland now don't dock, as docked dogs can't be shown at Crufts, which is every breeder/exhibitors dream to win so it limits their market. There are docked litters available, but they are usually non-registered, and not from the better breeders.
 
Theres no special paperwork involved in bringing dogs from Ireland. It shouldv been microchipped by the breeder, and you will have IKC reg (if its registered) but apart from that theres no pet passport, or quarantine involved.
 
There are a couple of really good breeders in Northern Ireland if you're interested.

Please insist on hip and elbow scored parents.

I met one from the Bel Mondo kennel which is in RoI which seemed like a nice type and passed his BH when I saw him.
They use health tested, show graded and working titled animals.

You don't really import them, you just put them in the car and drive them home!
 
theoretically, only dogs born before the new laws came in are allowed to be shown at any show where the public pays. but some people insist that natural bobs are born in their breed....... The vets in Ireland don't like to dock as its against the vets code of ethics, but it is still legal for lay people to dock. But, like I said, most RESPONSIBLE breeders don't dock now...
 
I imported a Rottweiler puppy at the end of last year from Northern Ireland, we just informed the ferry company that we would be travelling with a puppy and that we would be leaving it in the boot of the car for the crossing. The security on the ferry will check on your puppy if you ask, but we specifically chose a short crossing of under two hours so that it wouldn't be an issue.

With regards to breeders, I did loads of research - over a year in all - before settling with a top show producer, though we have no intention of showing ours. I went with type more than anything else tbh. I would like to say that I was thrilled with our choice of breeder, considering we paid a top price for our puppy. However, even though I am thrilled with my bitch, I do not consider the service we received from the breeder was any better than any other breeder tbh.
 
He could always say it was a Black and Tan terrier? Just big for its age 😝 I have a 9 year old dobie who is docked and I can't imagine her with a tail. I guess it's what your used to. The ones I have seen with tails, they look like whips! Wouldn't want that whacking my legs 😊
 
Having had Dobes docked and with tails it took a lot of getting used to but I have to say I much prefer them now with tails, its so much better for other dogs to read their body language and Diesel has a almost black face so its difficult for dogs to read but his wagging tail is there for all to see. My dogs tails are not whip like at all and Diesel has a habit of coming up to my bedroom and tapping in my door with his tail and I have never had them whack my legs.

All the Rotties Ive seen with tails have looked great.
 
I can't imagine why anyone would choose to support a breeder that docks unless there was a really good reason for it. Just because you prefer the look is beyond my belief.
