Eye Colour
We are of the understanding that the ranges between 1a and 3b are acceptable and 4a through to 6 are considered faults in the conformation show ring.
Nail Clipping
For most Rottweilers, it is very important to clip the tips off his/her nails weekly.
When they are young puppies (under 6 months) you can use what we all use as toe nail clippers. As an older puppy over 6 months, you will need to use a good quality dog nail clipper. We personally do not use or like the guillotine types that are on the market, we use the scissor type for many reasons. As all Rottweilers have black nails you can not see the quick therefore with the scissor type, it is easier, quicker and more precise in our opinion. We have our clippers sharpened or we replace them every year or two depending on the quality to make sure they are sharp.
