Rottweilers

Rottweilers have the potential to be great pets and love their owners a great deal. I have a two year old rott myself and she is just a love bucket waiting to crawl into your lap (yes my 80 pound dog thinks she is a laptop). Like with any other dog, you ave to bring up your dog right to make it a good pet. Make sure to socialize your animals with lots of people and other animals. Start obedience training early, before the dog it too big to handle. use a system of positive reinforcement so your dog is not scared of you. You want your dog to respect you, not be scared. A scared dog is a high risk dog.

Most breeders do not tend to remove the front dewclaws, however they do have rear dewclaws removed as per the breed standard. Dew claws are normally removed within the first few days as a pup, this must be done by a veterinarian. As with all dogs they can catch them, which can be very painful, or they can become overgrown, consulting a veterinarian in these situations is the best way forward, they may suggest having them removed which will require sedation. Most rottweilers are born with just the front dewclaws, however rear dewclaws are quite common.

rottweilers have a bite force of over three hundred pounds. this is stronger than a pitbull and a German Shepard.

closer to 400 psi.... K9 trained Rotties are around 700 psi, go on you tube watch the National Geographic video Rottweiler vs Pitt bull vs German Sheppard

Do not give them as much as they will eat. Rottweilers will eat until their stomachs become hard. They may have to have their stomachs pumped if they are allowed to gorge themselves in this manner. Also, hey grow at an accelerated rate if fed too much, and this can have damaging effects on their joints. The guideline is generally 1 to 7 cups a day depending on the formula of the food. The best advice is to consult your veterinarian.

Yes. A female rottweiler can and will mate with her father. No dog knows the identity of his or her father.

In the UK, you can pay around £250.00 for a dog with no pedigree, and any thing up to £600.00 for a dog that has a pedigree and is KC registered.

The offspring of two different breed parents will not grow any bigger.

You can expect the height between 55cm - 68 cm with 55cm being the lowest average for a GSD and 68cm being the highest Rott average.

most likely. Almost all dogs love cooling off in water and getting a little more exercise. Of course, if you live in cold weather, I don't think he'll like it that much!

There are alot of good foods out there. Here are just a few in my opinion: Canidae, Wellness, Natural Balance, Solid Gold, Evo, Innova, Fromm, and Eagle Pack. It really depends what you are looking for in a food. I would suggest staying away from foods with Corn, by-products, wheat, soy, and dyes. Most grocery stores have those type of foods so I would suggest going to a respectable petfood retail store or going online and ordering it. That's just my suggestion, hope that helped!!

Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers both have short, glossy coats but they are different colours. Rottweilers are always black with tan markings, and Labradors can be all black, all blonde (yellow) or all brown (chocolate).

a rottweiler and beagle mix weighs between 60-90 pounds during the first 2 years depending on what the dog is more of.

Greater Swiss mountain dog and the Bernese mountain dog, are the closest living relatives of the Rottweiler. These breeds including the Rottweiler, are believed to be descendants of the Molassus dog, a breed which is now extinct.

rottweiler It depends on the personality of the actual dog in question.

While there is only one rottweiler breed, there are different "types" out there. Essentially they are different bloodlines, and tend to be based on region. The "German" type, and essentially European type, tend to be a little stockier in look, with richer color and a blocky head with a more bulldogish snout. To be used for breeding, these dogs not only have to conform in type, but also be certified for working ability. They may be harder indisposition and/or more energetic, which is required for working dogs. With the "American" type, these dogs tend to be larger and/or taller (leggier). Generally they'll have slightly less blocky heads with a longer nose. These dogs tend to be more companion oriented and not work oriented, meaning they may have wonderful, soft dispositions or may be weak of nerve. They generally do no have the working ability of the German type, but are bred to be more flexible, with many becoming service dogs, for example. As German breeders are more organized, they tend to have less health issues than American dogs, of which any back yard breeder can breed. So though only German Rottweilers are those born in Germany, the German type Rottweiler has become very popular in America, being advertised as the better type of dog. Keep in mind there are excellent and poor examples on either side, and you don't necessarily want a 'better' dog, but a dog that suits you and your life style the most. Look for a well known, responsible breeder and do your research.

The Rottweiler is named after Rottweil< Germany because that is were it originated.

attacking people you do not like.

Rottweilers are very talkative with their barking and growling and moaning. However, like most other dogs the main way that a Rott can communicate with humans is its body language. The most common of these is "i want to play" which is where the dogs head is down and their butt is up in the air.

It is quite hard to answer these type of questions, as all rottweilers are different depending on their lines. Females weigh slightly less to male so she should be anything between 90 - 110lbs. Don't forget that rottweilers are still building their muscle tone up and are still putting on pounds until they are around 3 - 3 1/2 so don't worry. Try not to over feed her, there is such a stigma about having a beefy rottweiler, she will reach her optimum weight.

German shepherds the 1# dog bred through the sport of schutshund often have strong enough nerves, good enough scent detection, good enough obedience to be in the military, show dogs are normally not strong enough in these areas.

Most likely, yes. Huskies have thick fur and are about the same size as a rottweiler. If it's master's life is being threatened by an aggressive rottie, then that husky would be more than happy to defend his owner.

Rottweiler's were originally to herd cattle. They were also used to guard the cattle day and night. In the United States, they are mostly kept as house pets.

A puppy eats a lot of food. From birth up to six months of age, he'll need to eat two to four times as much as an adult dog to support all that growth. A good rule of thumb (paw?) is that after his first week of life, when his weight doubles from what it was at birth, a puppy should gain one to two grams per pound of anticipated adult weight each day.

The dog that has the strongest jaw pressure is the Rottweiler(306 pounds per square)

Yes, because rottweilers are trained to fight like pitbulls and rottweilers have strong enough jaws to break a person's bone.
