DescriptionThe Rottweiler, also known as Rottie, is a very popular breed of massive, powerful dog that originated in Germany. The breed belongs to the Working family which has been remarkable for its guarding and water-rescuing skills. Rottweilers are bred for the purpose of security. They commonly come in medium to large sizes. Rottie’s double coat is short, hard, and thick. It usually comes in several color combinations such as black and mahogany or black and tan.Height and WeightThe male members of the Rottweiler breed commonly stand 24 to 27 in height at the withers, and weigh 85 to 135 lbs. Bitches, on the other hand, are smaller. Their height is usually 22 to 25 in and their weight is 80 to 100 lbs.

Temperament

RottweilerRotties are calm and trainable dogs. They are courageous and loyal to their family owners. Devoted and protective, the breed will fiercely defend their families if necessary. They are serious and even-tempered, brave and confident. They generally require a strong-minded master who is calm but firm.

Rottweilers are docile and laid-back with reliable temperament. They are extremely intelligent, and have been known for centuries to excel in police or military work. The breed, nonetheless, needs plenty of socialization and leadership. When they get training at young age and receive consistent leadership, they become very excellent playmates for children. Also, with proper socialization, they can get along well with people and other animals. They rarely thrive in kennel life.GroomingRottweilers are easy to groom. Brushing their coat every week will be enough to keep it well-conditioned. Brushing, however, needs to be done more often when the breed sheds. Rotties are medium shedders.Health Concerns

Like most gigantic breeds of dog, Rottweilers tend to live shorter lives than smaller dogs. To be more specific, the breed only has an average lifespan of about 9 or 10 years. Some of the health conditions associated with Rotties include eye problems, heart diseases, cancer, OCD, seizures, thyroid problems, and allergies.

Best Environment

Members of the Rottweiler breed generally require a safe and spacious place to exercise and play. Because they are a large breed, they need a large dwelling area, though a small yard can be good enough. Apartment-living will be fine so long as sufficient exercise is provided. Taking the breed on a walk or jog every day is important. To make them very happy, owners can let them swim, retrieve a ball, and run in the woods or any open country.
