ROTTWEILER

It is considered one of the most ancient breeds, dating to the Roman conquests and descending from the working dogs that went with the legions during the expansion. Later, its breeding centered in the Rottweil city in Germany, whereof its name. In 1966 its first standard was elaborated and dispersed throughout the world, especially in the United States, country where it is widely accepted.

PHYSICAL TRAITS of the ROTTWEILER
With measures that range from 60 to 68 cm, weighing 50 kg, and some concrete specifications for different varieties, this dog has a robust appearance that doesn’t lessen its agility and a deep, wide chest. Proportioned head, with a square muzzle, wide and black nose, triangular ears and medium, dark, almond shaped eyes. Its fur is short and shiny, intense black with reddish spots in the muzzle, limbs and torso.

TEMPERAMENT AND ADAPTATION of the ROTTWEILER
The Rottweiler loves training; this particularity and the choice of a good puppy has made it the best dog, not just as a guard and defense dog, but also as company. It is important to know that if it is not properly trained, the result is disastrous. It is docile and balanced, energetic and decided. Affectionate and obedient to the family and tolerant in general toward family, but doesn’t always get along with other animals in the household. It adapts well to the home, although it is not recommendable as the family’s first dog, especially if it is a male, or for sedentary or lazy owners.

Ideal for those who seek a good defense dog, it is always on guard to protect the family from any threat. But it needs appropriate training to keep it from transforming into an aggressive and dangerous animal.

EXERCISE AND CARE required for a ROTTWEILER
To keep the fur always healthy and shiny, it is enough to pass a wet towel through it, once in a while, to get rid of the dead hair. If living in an apartment, it needs to go out twice a day for exercise. It is ideal to have it in a house with a garden so it feels free. It can’t stand being restrained; when it is, it gets very nervous.

The Rottweiler can turn violent when feeling the lack of freedom of being tied to a chain.
