They are actually both from the same parent breed, the doberman having been crossed repeatedly with greyhound to make a faster, dog for taking down fleeing subjects, while the Rottweiler is a defending dog which is built to stand it's ground and not allow an adversary to get past it to whatever or whomever it is protecting. Both dogs can be vermin (rabbit, rat squirrel) aggressive and individual dogs within either breed can be cat aggressive or not depending on their personality and upbringing. Neither dog is generally livestock aggressive unless intolerably raised by ignorant people.

The resulting dog will be a blend of the characteristics of the parent animal. The distinct differences between the two breeds can come out as a hodge podge.

DOBERMAN (bred for guarding and human "population management")

1. Inflexible "greyhound" hip allows faster running

2. Leaner, tightly muscled body can run fast

3. Tighter greyhound skin to prevent skin being grabbed

4. Shorter hair to prevent being grabbed and pushed off

5. taller lanky build

6. developed for long running take down fleeing human beings (yes really)

7. smaller, more narrow greyhound head

8. leaner jaw for snatch and snap biting (quick deep damage, take off fingers, inflict pain) They have a strong jaw but are better off in groups when it comes to pinning an intruder.

9. Rapid mouth attack with strong snapping, pain inflicting, wounding intention.

10. Can be very high strung and constantly stepping about like greyhounds often do.

ROTTWEILER (bred for guarding cattle against wild animals and driver work)

1. Fully flexible hip allows a fully human-like upright stance for higher jumping

2. Bulky powerful muscles for

3. Lose skin folds to protect against attacked by a pack of wild animals

4. Short shaggy hair, provided protection and padding and warmth in rough terrain.

5. Compact, burly build for powerful, short distance charge, stand its ground and block aggressors

6. Developed for stamina, strength, ability to turn quickly and climb over rough terrain.

7. Broad mastiff head

8. Large, powerful crushing jaw intended to grab, stop, shake animals attacking a herd. This jaw in tended to break bones and cause serious damage during a fight or hold onto another animal's throat and not let go until it is no longer a threat.

9. Slower mouth attack with more powerful bite with intention to tear and break.

10. Sure footed, stable stance, patient and laid back dog.

Okay, so you cross them. You could get a heavily muscled dog with a tiny snapping head, a massive headed skinny dog with a snapping jaw (hilarious looking). A well-muscled dog with a greyhound inflexible him and mid-sized head and a mediocre cross snapping/crushing jaw that does both about the same. I've seen several of these crosses. Only rarely do they produce a good looking dog. Most look pretty ridiculous and although they have a good temperament, seem a bit identity confused.

The cross can, however, produce a dog that is a faster, less high strung, less aloof mid-range dog, which is nice. Usually the build of the dog will be someone between both breeds. Which characteristics come out of the mix is a complete toss up. And whether the dog ends up looking disproportionate is also a toss up even within the same litter. But it is not a bad cross.

Which atoms can selectively hydrogen bond to water?

Atoms that can selectively hydrogen bond to water include oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. These atoms have a partial negative charge that allows them to attract the partially positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules.


What are the potential risks and considerations associated with breeding kittens for sex?

Breeding kittens for profit can have negative consequences. It can contribute to overpopulation, leading to more cats in shelters. Inbreeding can also result in health issues for the kittens. Responsible breeding practices and spaying/neutering are important to prevent these risks.

Why is continuous breeding of dogs bad?

Continuous breeding of dogs can lead to negative consequences such as genetic health issues, overpopulation, and decreased quality of life for the dogs. It can also contribute to the problem of unethical breeding practices and puppy mills, which prioritize profit over the well-being of the animals. Additionally, continuous breeding can lead to an increase in dogs being surrendered to shelters or abandoned due to oversupply.

What is it called when your mind turns good to bad?

This cognitive distortion is known as negative filtering or negative bias, where the mind selectively focuses on negative aspects of a situation while ignoring or downplaying the positive aspects. It can lead to a skewed perception of reality and contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Employing cognitive reframing techniques or seeking therapy can help challenge and overcome this pattern of thinking.


How long is a rottweilers memory?

Rottweilers, like many dog breeds, have a memory that can last from a few seconds to several years, depending on the type of information being remembered. They excel in associative memory, meaning they can remember experiences, commands, and people associated with positive or negative outcomes. Training and repeated exposure help reinforce their memories, allowing them to recall learned behaviors and commands over time. Overall, while they may not remember specifics as humans do, they can retain important information through consistent training and bonding.


Why are living cells negatively charged inside?

Living cells are negatively charged inside primarily due to the presence of negatively charged molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids within the cell. These molecules carry a net negative charge, creating an overall negative charge within the cell. In addition, the cell membrane selectively allows certain ions to flow in and out of the cell, maintaining an electrical potential that contributes to the negative charge inside the cell.


How old does a dog have to be to have babies?

Dogs can have puppies as early as six months of age, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 1-2 years old before breeding to ensure their physical and mental maturity. Breeding too early can have negative effects on the health of the mother and her offspring.


What is the difference between cross breeding and inbreeding?

Cross breeding involves mating two unrelated individuals from different breeds or populations to produce offspring with a mix of traits. Inbreeding involves mating individuals that are closely related, such as siblings or parent-offspring, which can lead to an increase in genetic defects or expression of negative traits due to the lack of genetic variation.


How is the environment affected by keeping animals in the zoo?

Keeping animals in zoos has a positive and negative effect on the environment. By having endangered species, it allows breeding and a "safe house" for them. Its negative because it lessens the amount of natural animals. Animals in captivity lose the ability to survive in the wild. hope this helps :p
