Thanks everyone

I just don't know that you would have time for two dogs with all you should be taking on right now... just my humble opinion. Just don't be hasty.
Im not sure about getting a grown Rottweiler, I have been researching them for 3-4 years, and what I keep hearing over and over is how much socialization and training they need, and how consistant you need to be with them, and I strongly believe that their bad rep comes from people who get them and don't know how to handle them, as they are so powerfull.

I just like to know what their background is, and would definatly feel better raising it, Im not saying it needs to be 8-10 weeks old, Im just saying, I don't want one who's older and not that socialized..etc, because I need to be able to trust it.

Also this isn't something for right now, this is something that will happen in atleast a year down the road. I just want/need to be VERY ready and educated/informed.

And I want to get Jasper's health taken care of first, and also make sure I'll be able to feed/vet for two dogs, and also make sure I'll have the time and energy for two dogs, as I will be going to university...to become a vet

I just want any advice possible, as Im like 75% sure I will still be living with my parents all through university, and will need to talk to them about this at some point, and need to have everything planned so that Im 100%(and not 99.9%) ready.
