Rottweilers are a breed whose "reputation" precedes. Do you know how a Rottweiler looks or acts? Yes? Perhaps you 're right, but chances are cons!

Unfortunately The Rottweiler is typically presented as the "bad boy'..... or worse. How much snarling, teeth-baring Rottweilers have you seen in movies? Now, how have you seen lolling on the couch with the kids, or play "recover" in the backyard?

My Rottes are on the couch and playing fetch and I talk about the Rottweiler REAL, then I hope you keep reading to learn more about this incredible, versatile breed.

Rottweilers are one of the oldest breeds livestock, and their origins date back to Roman times. Used as cattle drovers and stockmen, they were also companions and protection to street vendors in Europe.

From the beginning, the main characteristics of this race were the courage, intelligence, athleticism, strength and loyalty. And although the Rottweiler has been very up and down turns in popularity over the years, these characteristics are just as strong today they were centuries ago.

Indiscriminate aggression should not be part of the Rottweiler temperament, and the original standard German race (set by the Deutscher Rottweiler Klub Allegmeiner or 'ADRK') Rottweiler describes the character that way .... 'Good mood placid in the provision of basic and loves children. Very devoted, obedient, docile and eager to work .... self-assured, steady and fearless ...'.

The American Kennel Club puts it this way "calm, confident and courageous ... with a self-assured aloofness.

Although high Rottes today fit that description perfectly. Unfortunately, as with all breeds, the wave of popularity led to husbandry practices in many poor countries, both produce nervous, fearful and aggressive dogs. In Germany, there are protocols and regulations strict up for breeding and quality German Rottweilers average is much higher than in other countries.

Of course, there are wonderful dogs produced worldwide by the ethical and responsible breeders, but if you plan to add a Rottweiler to your family, you need do a lot of very thorough research and find the right breeder and the right dog / s.

So do dogs Rottweilers good family? Yes and no! All families are different, and Rottweilers are usually not recommended for dog owners first time or for families with young children or frail, elderly members. Because the rottie is a big, strong, intelligent dog, like a puppy and adolescents tend to be clumsy, noisy and sometimes stubborn. As adults, they are generally quiet and have a fairly laid-back attitude, but it is important that members family are physically strong enough, confident enough and psychologically, to control a dog of 120 pounds if needed.

Rottie love "lean" (a discount to their lives, such as cattle), and they may accidentally turn a small child. As puppies or adult Rottweilers tend to themselves as lapdogs, and will climb a tower which is very handy (of course you will not be able to watch television, but they do not care!). They also have a wonderful habit of "talking" to members of their human family, and many people do not know the race can confuse this "grunt / growl" with his growling. It's totally different, and I tend to think like a sound similar to a cat 'purring' - it means they are happy and satisfied.

This breed is very intelligent and eager to please. I have owned and trained several races in my lifetime, and can honestly say that Rottweiler puppies learn faster than many others. They enjoy success and enjoy rewards and attention. But it is essential to use only positive and not punitive training techniques with them as they are surprisingly sensitive and do not respond well to chips voice or punishment of any kind.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that such large dogs require raised voices and arrogant attitude - totally wrong in my experience! In addition, once your puppy is an adolescent or older, that kind of attitude is likely to trigger reaction inherently stubborn dogs, and training will become a fight and a lot less pleasant for everyone.

Like any What other breed, Rottweilers have their own health problems. Being large dogs, as puppies, they run the risk of growing too fast and following joint damage / bone occurs. Feeding a quality puppy food designed for large breed dogs and avoid supplements is the best way to help a rottie puppy to grow healthy.

Other health problems that can be seen in Rottweilers include panosteitis, hip and elbow dysplasia, congenital heart disease, kidney problems, allergies and certain cancers. They are also very susceptible to parvovirus Canine horrible and more normal Parvo shots three, they should receive a fourth vaccination Parvo at 16 weeks of age.

I love this race, and describe a Rottweiler as a teddy bear in a coat of grizzly bears! I hope you find this interesting look at a race dog that is widely misunderstood, but is really a "rough diamond". Visit my website below for more information and some wonderful photos.
