Weight (5) - (1=severely emaciated, 5 – 6 normal, 10 = morbidly obese)
Puppy is in excellent health with no known abnormalities with an appropriate weight for their age.
Overall Mental Health – Excellent (5) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppy has excellent mental health for its age. These puppies are very smart, playful, and a sponge for learning.
People – Excellent ( 5 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppy has been socialized with adults and do not show fear or reserved behavior.
Children – Good ( 4 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppies are expected to be fine with children. Their score is 4 only because they have not been exposed to kids as of yet. Given how these puppies act with other people and animals it is expected that they will be good with small humans as well. The biggest thing new pet parents of human puppies need to remember is that all puppies need training just like human puppies. That includes appropriate behavior with children.
Dogs – Excellent ( 5 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppies have lived with dogs since their birth of many ages and sizes. From an old small/medium sized dog of 16 years, a middle aged Deer Chihuahua, an older Dutch Shepherd, a leggy Saluki mix, and their parents, they have good exposure to various breeds, sizes, and ages. Due to this they have learned to respect their elders, give space when another dog requires it, listen to warnings from other dogs, play with those willing to play, and have been learning other canine etiquette from them and each other. As they are still young they are still learning but they have had an excellent start to their lives with other dogs.
Cats – Good ( 4 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppies have live with cats and have been learning etiquette with them. They have had exposure to a grumpy older cat, an elder cat (who has given them a lot of space), and a young cat who is dog savvy. So far they dog not chase cats and have learned to listen to growl warnings. Those that didn't got a paw bop and did not have aggressive reactions and just learned from their mistake. Given their breeds it is advised for them most of them to go to a home with dog savvy cats. Each individual puppy will be different in their level of cat appropriateness. This page will be updated with this particular puppy's cat compatibility as it is further known with their development. (aka whether all cats, dog savvy cats, or least likely to happen...no cats are best for them)
Pocket Pets – Unknown ( ? ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
If a family has pocket pet it would be best to play with them behind closed doors and in their enclosures when they are not as they have not been exposed to them just yet. Pocket Pet introductions should be done carefully with caution and safety in mind for both animals.
Behavioral Issues – None ( 1 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = None and 5 = Many
Puppies have been taught good behaviors. All puppies can get into trouble/mischief and it is extremely important that the new puppy parent do their part to continue their education with positive reinforcement to promote good behavior through appropriate discipline and training. Things to watch for in the future are general behaviors exhibited by both breeds like playing in the water bowl and ball obsession (Golden) or digging and guarding (Rottie) can be averted if they even arise.
Energy – Moderate ( 4 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Low and 5 = High
Puppies have puppy energy. Although it varies from puppy to puppy, they have a healthy amount for their age and breeds. Their particular energy level will be updated as it is further recognized with their development.
Barking – Minimal ( 1 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Minimal and 5 = Very Often
Puppies do not over bark at this time. They alert bark to go potty and play bark when interacting with their siblings. Their level of barking will be updated as they develop if needed.
Swimming – Unknown ( ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
As we no longer have access to a pool at this time, we aren't sure how well they can swim. It is best that puppies use a life jacket just to be safe. We can help with tips and/or demonstration on how to teach puppies to swim for pool owners. It is imperative that a pool owner teach their dogs how to swim and be able to find the stairs to get out (especially if they do not have a pool fence) ensuring that their adopted dog does not drown.
* Chances are most of them will be decent swimmers but some of the heavier/larger puppies may require more caution.
Toys – Excellent ( 5 ) *Based on a 1-5 scale with 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent
Puppies have displayed excellent behavior with toys. At this time they are not destructive with their toys. They chew on their bones and teething toys, tug and chew on ropes, play tug of war with each other, share (and steal!) toys with each other without squabbling, have not injured thinner rubber type toys or balls, not torn apart plushies/woobies,or otherwise intentionally harmed their playthings.

Other Notes:
Keep in mind that these puppies are half Golden Retriever. This means that most of them will enjoy water including needing to teach them to not put their paws and toys in the water bowl. This is a common thing for Labradors, Goldens, and water other type breeds. Although we have worked with them all to not do this behavior it is always up to the new pet parent to continue training their new baby up through adulthood and beyond. As for the Rottweiler half, their father is an American Rottweiler. This means that unlike their German counterparts, American Rotties are often more needy and less aloof. While this makes them more social and great family dogs, it also can have them be more anxious and saddened when they are alone. Many strong behaviors of both breeds may be muted (such as guarding or ball obsession) as it seems to be common of these particular mixed breeds to inherit the best of both breeds. It is always important to do your research on the breed of dog you are interested whenever it is known to make sure that your new family member is right for you! The great news is that both of their parents are excellent in representation of their breed and have wonderful personalities. They have also both been loving and interactive parents helping us guide these babies into the fantastic pups they are so far. The rest will be up to you! :)

'I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal, and I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then spoke softly.
"I have done something," he replied,
"I created you."
