Rottweiler

These dogs tend to have a bad reputation – a lot like a pit bull does. Any dog is capable of being viscous – there are several things that would contribute to this, but generally these dogs are GREAT cuddle buddies, very loyal and loving dogs. With proper training you can ensure that your dog doesn’t learn any bad habits.

Because these dogs are very protective – this could be confused for aggressive. The training will help iron out any issues early on.

These dogs have sadly been banned in some parts of America (same as the Pit Bull)

Because these dogs are great family dogs, and great companions – they don’t like to be left alone for long periods of time. These dogs are also very smart – they are said to rank in the top 10 smartest dogs!

These dogs are very active, and its recommended that you play or walk your dog up to THREE times a day for AT LEAST 20 minutes a time.

These dogs are known to be snorers! This simply adds another beautiful trait to them 🙂

These dogs are said to live anywhere between 8 and 11 years of age.

Male Rottweilers can weigh up to 130 pounds (60Kg) and the female Rottweilers can weigh up to 110 pounds (48Kg)

This dog is originally from Germany.

These dogs are generally black with a few brown spots here and there over their face and legs. You can sometimes find a RARE RED Rottweiler.

These dogs are really amazing worker dogs, they listen, and they observe well. Along with that, these dogs can be BIG babies – they tend to eat, drool, sleep, and fart a lot.

These dogs can sadly be prone to a few health problems which include hip dysplasia, cancer and heart disease.

These dogs have a short coat, but don’t let that confuse you. These dogs SHED, and A LOT.

So if you would rather not have fur everywhere, then be sure to brush these dogs daily.

These dogs have a strange habit of leaning against people, this is only because on the farms these dogs would lean against the cattle to nudge them along.

A lot like a Labrador, these dogs only really mature at about 2-3 years of age.

If you plan on breeding with these dogs, they tend to have really big litters of approximately 10-12 puppies at a time.

If you plan on keeping a Rottweiler in an apartment, be sure to give them enough daily exercise.

There are a lot of people who believe in docking their tails (cutting them short) – There is no proof that this improves anything, and it is also said to cause some spinal issues later in life.

These dogs have a strong bite of 328 pounds, this is more than a Pit Bull and more than a German Shepherd.

Pretty amazing right?
