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.
