Important Facts To Know When It Comes To The Rottweiler

The Rottweiler (also called the "Rottie") belongs
to the working breed class. They feature a
muscular body with a black coat and tan face
mask. It was during the Middle Ages the breed is
thought to have first existed. Guarding cattle
and protecting butchers' money is what they were
initially raised for. They're a popular choice as
a guard dog, police dog or family pet in the
modern day. They can be identified by their
reputation as a dangerous dog as well as their
strength. Their earlier ancestors are the
Italian Mastiff and are assumed to have come
from the town of Rottweil in Germany.

They're classed as a large sized dog. The
appropriate female dimensions are 80-100 pounds
and a height of 22-25 inches, while the male
guidelines are 95-135 pounds and a height of
24-27 inches. Their disposition is famously
known as being alert and imposing. They are
generally suspicious with people they haven't
met, and this can mean they are highly suitable
as a protection dog. Compared to every other
dog, they're identified as being highly clever,
and are ranked 9th when being trained to
understand new obedience instructions.

They are protective and playful (when trained
correctly) with children, and that can mean they
are fairly suitable as a family pet. Other pets
like dogs and cats they're raised with do live
peacefully with them. One simple chore is taking
care of their coat. They need small brushing
through their coat once every week or two, and
full grooming every 8 to 10 weeks. They can be
suited to living in an apartment, but love
having a small backyard that gives them space to
run around.

As is the case with a good number of large sized
breeds, they're for the most part short-lived and
have a life expectancy of 8-13 years. They can be
vulnerable to cancer, obesity or parvo as a
puppy, but their most worrying health issue is
hip dysplasia. They take pleasure in things like
having a job, exploring, swimming or fetching
balls. They call for long walks every day to
prevent hyperactivity or other bad habits owing
to their medium degree of energy.

You should be willing to provide consistent
discipline and obedience training if you choose
to buy the Rottweiler. They are a good choice
for responsible owners who will be a strong pack
leader, but not an ideal option for less
confident owners. One of the main reasons why
dog lovers find this breed so attractive is seen
in that it has an imposing reputation and
obedient nature that make it a good choice to
protect your home and family.
