                                                                                                           Note

   Before getting a dog we highly recommend anyone interested in this breed to read the book "The other end of the leash" by Patricia McConnell, an animal behaviorist. It is a very important decision that needs to be thought through when adding a dog to your family. It is a very big commitment and responsibility. The book I referenced above will help guide you to where you should get your new puppy/dog from and why, to training techniques and how to interprit dog behavior. However, during the development of your puppy the breeder you choose to get your puppy from will be the most valueable to you. They should be able to help you with any trouble that you run into with your new puppy. If the breeder does not offer support for the lifetime of the dog they created, find another breeder. If you were interested in purchasing one of our dogs but we do not have any ava. we would be glad to help you with finding a reputable breeder with price ranges to fit your budget. So please feel free to contact us with any questions.

                                                                                         How Our Puppies Are Raised

                Here at Cain Hill we all do our part on the raising and socializing of each puppy. We start on socialization skills as soon as the puppies reach 3 days of age if the neonates doesnt require any human interference. We start by desensitizing the puppies with touch, and desensitizing the puppy with different sounds are added to the socialization process when the ears open completely. While the puppies are nursing, we help every Dam raise her pups by bottle feeding half the puppies at each feeding and alternating the puppies out when fed. It also helps us learn more about each puppy's personality and we will be able to spot any potential problems in the earliest of stages. Knowing each puppy from the tip of the nose to the tip of it's tail is a breeders job. Knowing a puppy's temperament is important so that the right puppy can be matched up with the right owner. When the puppies turn 3 days old our puppies are started on a program the military developed called "Bio Sensor", or better known to the public the "Super Dog" program. In the outcome of our puppies after we started doing this program, the trainability of the dogs is out of this world. They are calmer, have very stable temperaments and end up with a very high threshold for pain. Extreme caution must be taken when using this program. Over stimulation to the neurological system can have adverse and detrimental results. These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected. The result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance. Here is a list of what a puppy on this program would gain:

                We take up a considerable amount of time with our pups after the weaning process begins. We work on the pups with being handled and touched, taking steps to preventing future food aggression, and depending on the length of time they stay with us, some are obedience trained and housetrained. We work on their manners while we have them (example: jumping on people).

                   Feeding the right food is one of the most important things. All of our pups and showdogs are fed Canidae All Life Stages as this requires half as much to maintain a perfect weight than it does regular commercial brands such as Purina or Eukanuba and active Rottweiler pups need the extra calories because they burn it off quickly. It contains no soy products nor corn and is a all natural diet (Purina contains soy). When we wean our puppies we begin feeding them Eagle Pack Holistic Large Breed Puppy and continue this kibble until 7 weeks of age, and at that time we slowly transition them to Canidae. Granted feeding these 2 brands of kibble is costly but seeing what a difference it makes in the puppy's structure and overall health the money is well spent. Feeding a high quality food will save money in the long run. The amount consumed is cut in half as well as it saves on vet costs feeding a holistic (all natural with no fillers) diet.It is up to us as breeders and owners to give our pups the best start possible. We do not ever under any circumstances suppliment our puppies. If the puppy is on a good quality kibble or BARF diet then there is no need. Trying to grow a puppy too big too fast will have devistating effects such as dysplasia because excellerated growth rate will cause bones in the front legs not to fuse properly and become dysplastic or will cause the hips to be weak. Some foods like Purina, Eukanuba, Pedigree, and Iams to name a few has too much vitamin D/calcium and would be the same as over supplimenting. The calcium/phosphorus ratios in commercial foods are not for large breed fast growing dogs such as a Rottweiler or a Great Dane and this can cause dysplasia and other bone deformities and more information on this can be seen here http://www.joint-health-for-dogs.com/nutrition-dogs.html. Its better to let the puppy grow at a normal steady growth rate, and if fed properly will grow to its fullest potential regardless. Some over supplimenting effects and deformities caused by commercial foods and vitamin suppliments in large breeds can be seen here at www.greatdanelady.com. If you are interested in feeding a all natural holistic diet here are some Canidae dealers within the area starting with the one we highly recommend and purchase from. They have a variety of choices including the miracle food tripe and will gladly special order and for added convienence they will put customers on automatic ordering so that when they purchase their food it is always fresh and never sits on a shelf for extended amounts of time causing it to lose nutritional value. They also offer several other animal services such as acupuncture, massage therapy, aeromatherapy, allergy testing and much more lessening the need for prescription medications for ailments that can eventually lead to liver damage and renal failure in your pet. They also offer services to people as well. **Make sure when visiting Miss Shanda that you tell her Kathy Cain from Cain Hill Rottweilers sent you :-) ** :

             One of the ingredients to watch out for is "Animal Digest". This ingredient contains dead animals from sources such as animals that have been euthanized at shelters, rats, roadkill picked up by animal control, animals that die before they can be slaughtered and they can be cows, horses, pigs you name it. If it can not be used for human consumption then it is throwed in. A few foods containing this ingredient is Pedigree, Ol' Roy, store brand or off brand foods & Purina. Some of these foods have been on recall because they contained toxins that made alot of dogs sick and several have died from things like renal failure due to commercial foods. The better the quality of the food you feed your dog, the longer your dog will live. 

                All of our puppies are temperament tested. They are tested at 7 weeks, and if there is a puppy that we have held back that is a show prospect the puppy will be tested again at 12 weeks of age. Understanding temperament is important. It would be unethical and potentially dangerous to send an overly dominant puppy (alpha) or one that has excess amounts of play/prey drive home with an inexperienced owner that has very small children. Without testing how would one be so sure which one is the dominant because any breeder should know that the biggest male &/or biggest female is not always dominant. I have seen many litters where the second from largest or the so called "runt" is the dominant one when it is all said and done. There is no way to tell just by looking at them. Alot goes into choosing the right puppy for the right home.
