There are 61 adoptable Rottweilers and Rottweiler mixes in and near Sonoma county right now on petfinders.com.
Yours will be rehomed spayed and neutered I hope?
Good luck, Dodie

I wish only the best for the puppies born (any breed in fact) but it concerns me that more puppies are brought into this world while thousands await a second chance in our shelters. If breeders willingly take back ALL the dogs they produce, no questions asked, at any time during the dog's life, then we might make a dent in the shelter populations. But, I surely don't see this happening. And, there is nothing like the wonderful feeling that comes with adopting a shelter dog.
Please read One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter and then brainstorm other ways of supplementing your income. People of any species cannot be owned, bought or sold; and, if you think the only definition of people is "humans," how would you decide which extraterrestrial species are species of people?

If you do decide to adopt these or any puppies PLEASE attend puppy training classes.
(The Sonoma Humane Society has excellent classes). Rottweiler pups are so cute but
need early training and socialization.
Many become unmanageable if they don't get this early training. So many of them end up in shelters
because owners are not happy with them when they become large willful dogs. Also, Please spay or neuter.
Here is a great article on Puppy Socialization:

Pet Statistics
How many pets are in the United States?/ How many animals are in shelters?/etc.
Facts about U.S. Animal Shelters:
There are about 5,000 community animal shelters nationwide that are independent; there is no national organization monitoring these shelters. The terms “humane society” and “SPCA” are generic; shelters using those names are not part of the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. Currently, no government institution or animal organization is responsible for tabulating national statistics for the animal protection movement.
This is copied from the ASPCA https://www.aspca.org/about-us/faq/pet-statistics.aspx
- Approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats). Shelter intakes are about evenly divided between those animals relinquished by owners and those picked up by animal control. These are national estimates; the percentage of euthanasia may vary from state to state.
- According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), less than 2 percent of cats and only 15 to 20 percent of dogs are returned to their owners. Most of these were identified with tags, tattoos or microchips.
- Twenty-five percent of dogs who enter local shelters are purebred. (Source: NCPPSP)
- Only 10 percent of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered, while 78 percent of pet dogs and 88 percent of pet cats are spayed or neutered, according to the American Pet Products Association (Source: APPA).
