Rottweilers
Rottweilers can be brave and bold. In fact, you could almost tell their personality by just looking at their massive jaws and their powerful muscles! However, with early training and socialization, Rottweilers can be great pets, or even assistance dogs and therapy dogs. In this category, there are questions about this breed’s characteristics, appearance, etc.

How do you be friends with a rottweiler?
Just make sure that each time your dogs interact with each other, nothing happens to scare, hurt, or anger either of them. If they don't get along right now, then eventually they'll get used to each other and be good buddies. I had a rottie for ten years and he hated other dogs. When he was about five we got a boxer. They didn't get along at all at first but after a week or two they were best friends. Good luck. :)
What is a good healthy diet for a Rottweiler?
A good brand for a large breed dog is canidae or EVO. Stay away from grocery store brands. It also depends on the medical history of your rott. Some foods are better for dogs with sensitive digestive systems. (Sorry to say but you want your dog to poop no more than twice a day with good solid stool. If there is a lot of poop than your dog is probably not absorbing a sufficient amount of nutrition from it's food) If you were to go with a RAW FOOD diet, raw meat and blood will not cause your rott to bite. Poor ownership and lack of training it what causes vicious behavior.
AnswerGood dry dog food and wet food is a good balance for your dogs. You can add carrots, peas and other good veggies in there if you like. It's important when feeding any dog dry dog food (very concentrated) that they have a lot of water nearby. Some dogs are just brought up on dry dog food. I use "Baneful" and you can get the huge bags for the bigger dogs. There are other good products out there so if in doubt ask your vet.
AnswerAnother good brand of dry dog food is Nutro. Whatever food you decide on, check the ingredient list on the back of the bag and look for Chicken By-Products. If this is one of the ingredients of the food you've chosen, consider another. Essentially Chicken By-Products are the leftovers, beaks and feet. They're filler and only help your dog to leave more waste outside.
Answer
Most importantly, DO NOT feed pets food that have WHEAT GLUTEN in the ingredients! This was the cause of the pet food recall. Also, dog foods that contain any kind of by-products or rendered "protein meals" may not be the best choice for your dog either & likely go against much of society's morals. The truth about "protein meal" is that it is basically rendered shelter pets & bad meat from the grocery stores along with some other mystery contents. An excellent brand with ZERO rendered ingredients & ZERO by-products & ZERO junk is "Pet Promises". It contains good stuff & I am yet to find ANY animal that doesn't absolutely love it. I would strongly advise all pet owners not to feed their pets IAMS brand food. Not only does a lot of cruelty go into every morsel of IAMS pet food, but any food that an animal has to be weaned off of like a cocaine addict has to be weaned off of crack most likely is not good for your pet.
dog food!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many people were killed by rottweilers in the last year?
See related link, for some statistics on dog bites and deaths.
What is the most ferocious dog?
The last person stating that the Pit bull is the most aggressive is a misinformed conformist. Such an amateur answer.
The Chow Chow has shown an aggressive temperament in many studies. However, I can name many breeds that have shown more aggression in tests. No one can say for sure which breed is the -most- aggressive. It would be impossible to get the 100% correct answer without testing every pure bred dog in the world. ANY breed has the ability to show aggression. It's all about TRAINING. Training can turn an "aggressive breed" into the perfect family pet!
What age do a baby rottweiler leaves its mother?
After about eight weeks
eight weeks is recommended but you can take them earlier if your willing to look after them. I have raised nine pups from one week of age because the mother could not feed them, so I'm speaking from experience in this matter, but you have to know this is time consuming they are just like a new born baby and need a lot of care and is not recommended if you can help it because their mothers milk is best for them, How ever if your talking about getting a pup from a breeder, you can get them as early as five weeks as long as they are eating soft food, I got both of my dogs at five weeks of age and they were just fine. I hope this answers you question

Who is stronger Rottweiler or pit bull?
the rottweiler has a jaw force of 328 which is stronger than both a pitbull and a German Shepard
The pitbull has grater fighting skill,strenght,agillity and speed than that of a rottweiler,mastiff,bullmastiff or bulldog.
no matter the breed of dog or size When a pitbull gets his first bite the other dog will run away. walkikng my dog one day I was passing by a fenced factory. I don't know how the watch dog which was a huge rottweiler weighting no less than 120 got out of the fenced area and bit my dog by surprise. we didnt even see it until he was biting my dog. once my dog bit him he ran back to the factory and went into his kennel.
it depends on the dog, both the pit bull and the rottweiler are strong dogs but most likely, the pit bull will win. but this isn't 100% right, the rottweiler can also win, it depends on the dog,the strenght it has, and the fighting skills its taught or born with
I heard the average number of pups is between 1 and 14. However, if you are interested in a more narrowed down number, you can have your vet look at her. Also, remember, although sad, not all of the pups may survive.

Is a aboerboel aggressive than Rottweiler?
No. A bulldog is no match for a rottweiler nor a pitbull.
AnswerNo. After my seven pound attack dachshund chews both their necks off with her nasty sharp pointy teeth they'll both be equally limp.On another note, it's best not to make dogs fight each other for sport. If you need a dog to protect yourself or your family or your property that's one thing, but don't make them fight for sport. That isn't sporting at all, it is just cruelty.
How much do Rottweilers weigh?
usually around 100 pounds. If the rottweiler is American than he/she will weigh less because they are more slim. If the rottweiler is a German breed than it is possible for them to weigh more. My German rottweiler weighs 130 pounds but he is also abnormally tall
-there are no breed types known as "German" "American" or "king"
do some reading, there are champion show dogs, poorly bred freaks and everything in between but they are all just "Rottweilers"
as for weight -110lbs is breed standard for male
Hippo's are the third heaviest animal on the planet, the only two above them are the Asian Elephant, and the African Elephant. Despite their great size, they can run extremely fast, 20 - 35 miles per hour. That is faster than the fastest man on earth. Rhino's can go up to 40 mph, and Elephant's up to 25 mph.
How do you stop an attacking rottweiler?
Rottweilers are naturally good guard dogs, also faithful companions. If your a novice with this breed of dog, I wouldn't encourage you to make your dog more aggressive.
Most Rottweiler attacks are caused by bad ownership, nearly all cases are children. So unless you are an experienced person with this breed, I recommend that you just enjoy your dog, as it could turn on you.
Each dog has their own preference about water. Some rottweilers enjoy water, some do not. Just like my dachshunds-- I have a few that LOVE water, and a few that hate it. Just depends on the dog's experiences.
Male rottweiler size
Weight: 80 lbs to 130 lbs

Female rottweiler size
Weight: 75 lbs to 110 lbs

Why do dogs ears go straight back what does this mean?
Dogs have good hearing, and move their ears forward to listen to what is in front of them. As they have forward facing eyes, this is often a point of interest - such as an owner or food. Generally, ears forward indicate friendliness and interest, but can also mean the dog is alert to danger and should not be taken as a friendly sign in an unknown dog.
How much is a rottweiler supposed to weigh?
I have been around Rottweilers all of my life and have raised them and bred them.
The weight of an average male Rottweiler should be 85-135 lbs and a height of 24-27 in tall (mostly considering German Rotts but American Rotts can get taller). An average female Rottweiler weighs 80-100 lbs and a height of 22-27 in. (and again height mostly considering German Rotts)
