Rottweiler and Rottweiler pictures
The Rottweiler is a very territorial, imposing dog breed and is ideal
for protection. They are calm, trainable, courageous, and devoted
to their owner family. They have a reliable temperament. This dog
breed requires a strong leader and firm training. Otherwise you
may end up with a very powerful and overly aggressive dog. The Rottweiler
is a natural guard dog with a mellow temperament. They are highly
intelligent and have proven their worth beyond question in police,
military, and customs work over many centuries. This breed needs
a lot of companionship and socialization to be truly happy. They
can be aggressive with other dogs and should be kept on leashes
in public places. When the Rottweiler is consistently brought up
and trained, it will be a good playmate for the children. It will
accept cats and other household pets as long as the dog has had
a positive experience with them while it was young. Friends and
relatives of the family are normally enthusiastically welcomed.
Strangers can get no further than the sidewalk. The breed does well
in competitive obedience, schutzhund, and tracking. Schutzhund lines
tend to be more aggressive and thus should be avoided if the dog
is purely intended as a family pet. There are two types of Rottweilers,
German and American. The difference between two types is the German
dogs are breed to work or have the drive to do so. The American
dogs are not breed for these characteristics. Rottweilers are a
robust, powerful dog breed with great strength, endurance and agility.
The Rottweiler is a working dog, he is the happiest when there is
a job to do whether it is herding, competing in obedience, tracking,
search and rescue or retrieving the newspaper. An effective guard
dog, Rottweilers are also dominant and pushy - and requires constant
training firm, uncompromising rules. A Rottweiler will defend his
family and property to the end, but he does have a tendency to become
loyal to one person. Although Rottweilers are a devoted and loyal
dog breed, play around small children should be supervised.
