Other Traits :
During the Middle Ages to around 1900, local butchers were accompanied on buying expeditions by Rottweilers, who carried money in a neck pouch to market. The Rottweiler's history as a protector and herder sharpened the breed's tendency for wariness and protectiveness when meeting strangers. Rottweilers are known for their self-assurance and intellect, but they require consistent training to master social skills.

Rottweiler Traits & Characteristics
Rottweiler Appearance
The Rottweiler is a stocky, strong-built dog that reaches 22 to 27 inches (56 to 68.5 cm) height at the withers and weighs between 90 and 110 pounds (41 and 50 kg). Its coat is short and coarse, with tan stripes on the head, chest, and legs.
Rottweiler Personality
"Rottweilers can be destructive as puppies. Although it is a watchdog and a protective dog, it may not be trustworthy around other pets. The breed is devoted to its family, yet it is generally reserved, if not wary, of strangers. It is normally not friendly with strange dogs, and dogs of the same sex in the same home may not get along."
Rottweiler Temperament
Rottweilers needed to be strong, brave, intelligent, and biddable in the past according to their duties, and today's Rottweilers still have these characteristics. Although the Rottweiler is a quick learner, it can be stubborn when asked to do something it does not want to do.
Rottweiler Living Needs
Rottweiler coat care is limited to periodic bathing and brushing. Although its coat effectively insulates the dog from cold weather, a Rottweiler should not be kept in temperatures below freezing for extended periods of time. The breed performs well in warm weather but might become overheated in hot temperatures.
Rottweiler Care Details
A well-fenced yard, daily exercise in the form of lengthy walks or runs, and mental stimulation are all required for the Rottweiler. The Rottweiler excels at organised exercises such as agility, scent work, Schutzhund, cart pulling (drafting, or "carting"), weight pull, and any other conditioning that utilises both the mind and the body.
Rottweiler Health Details
Because Rottweilers are prone to canine hip dysplasia, puppies should be fed on large-breed puppy food, which slows growth and reduces the risk of developing the ailment. The breed has the highest osteosarcoma rate of any breed.
