I handled one in the Army for 2 years. He was aloof, fearless and the best pal I ever had.
These dogs are NOT for most people. They require firm, clear handling and a disciplined approach to training/socialisation.
Otherwise the dog will lose all respect for you and become a liability. This is where bad things can happen and news headlines get made.
They are amazing dogs in the right hands. Most folks simply won’t put the work in, give the dog his place ‘in the pack’, cut the dog way too muck slack and end up with huge problems.
Just my 2 cents.

[Yeoman]

Ppl, pls socialize your Rotti, even the small females are much stronger than they look.

My family had 5 Rotties over 32 years (with a Boxer in the middle). Our favourite breed for sure. Except first one, all others were rescued as adults from puppy mills and abusive environments. Ended up absolutely amazing with my family. Properly socialized and calm.

When I told my dad I wanted to adopt a rottie we found at the shelter, the first thing he told me was that I needed to do as much research as I could so we'd know how to properly raise her

She was the best dog anyone could have wanted.

Have had 3 of my own Rottweilers over the years but they MUST be properly trained otherwise you're going to have problems. They can be headstrong but love and the correct training youve got a jewel.

[samanthajohnson]

Perfect discription of the breed. I worked with rotties for a long time training them for security work, from property private and business to crowd management. Supper intelligence, quick problem solving instinct. Loyal, loving and courageous.
Not for those who haven't got the time for training not just the brain but the body.
This breed will find their own entertainment by redisgning your home if you don't put the work in. They also think they are lap dogs when they've found their perfect human ☺

It should say 4 things to know before getting a Rottweiler.
No 4 is: Be prepared to make peace with the fact that cancer is the biggest killer of Rottweilers. Vets argue about which breed is no 1 for cancer. Rottweilers are amongst the top 3 breeds for cancer. It's a terrible thing and why I haven't got my 4th Rottweiler yet after losing 3 to cancer.
I agree with everything else 👍

Many years ago 1984 to 95, I had one of the best behaved Rottweilers, in my opinion. I put it down to exactly what you just described. Socialisation by always taking him with me wherever I went, joining a kennel club and make dog training my hobby and taking on all the advise i could get from people knowing more than me.
If I was to consider another Rottweiler, I’d like to do the same kind of training as we did through the kennel club. I have to mentioned that I lived in Denmark then and now in England.
Are there kennel clubs in the UK that are associated with the police in any way ? That basic police dog training was a perfect combination to satisfy a Rottweiler’s needs and at the same time he was a great companion in social interactions with other dogs, grown up humans as well as children. “Best dog ever”.

I miss my boy Trax every single day since he went to Doggie Heaven almost ten years ago 🙏❤️ He was my first dog and we trained him right. The best teddy bear superhero guardian one could ever hope for!

[wendyandmatthew]

Yes! Click' .. Finally someone admits these are exceptionally smart dogs that are eager to please their owners. This has been my experience with them. Good job.

[stephenowen]

We have a 4 1/2 month old female 32 lbs today. Incredibly smart, has slept all night in her crate from day one. In crate 7 hours during the day and has not messed her crate even once. She does have issues with bad zoomies and wanting rough play and biting but she has improved these a lot the past few weeks.

[francoandjimtherotties]

I have 2 male rottweilers and they are absolutely amazing if your gonna get one....please do things right, socialize, socialize, socialize, train them, take them as many different places you can, meet other dogs, other do it right, never underestimate the power of a rottie, male or a big lad at 18st 7 and the can pull me off my feet no problem, both mine weigh 50-52kg but the power from their chest is you do it right you will have everything you've ever wanted in a dog....but do some research, ❤

[kinggg_delo]

I own a rott never thought I would I rescued him I love the breed man hands down my new fav breed

[kimberlyhickey]

Rottie Pei here. She’s got double the stubbornness, double the confidence, double the guard dog instincts, double the intelligence. It’s like having an armed and muscular toddler in the house. 😂

[legobatman]

My boy is one of the most softest loveable dollops I've ever met. He is what I would say is a medium size dog, we had to put him on a diet to loose a little bit of weight as he injured his cruciate ligament, hence now he looks slim and sleek.

[stephenkane]

My boy is 54kg and quite lean all over. Raw food diet since a pup, best dog I've ever had. Can develop a natural arrogance to other dogs or people sometimes if you let them. He's a fantastic guard dog, best mate and just part of our family.

[tomato]

We owned a Rottie. IMO, they are among the sweetest, most intelligent dogs in the world. But it's not their weight per se - its their strength. It's stunning. Take 100 of your favorite breeds at 130lbs and a Rottie will finish in the top 5 every time.

[WinStoNs_Mith]

They are well worth the trouble IMO. We just got our seven one. 9 weeks old and rambunctious as any we’ve owned. It takes time and patience like a child.

[Vixenschuuring]

I am absolutly in love with Rottweilers. I have had alot of dogs when younger so I can handle it (I think) but of course I do not under estimate them❤

[zooabsurd]

i would only recommend a rottweiler to people with previous experience with dogs. They are clever, stubborn and pretty sensitive to praise and punishment. Therefore, they can be absolute hell for inexperienced people, and heaven for experienced dog owners.
