These breeds are basically calm, confident and courageous with a self-assured aloofness that does not lent itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendship. Rottweilers love their people and may behave in a clownish manner toward family and friends, but they are also protective of their territory and do not welcome strangers until they are properly introduced to them.

WE HAVE ROTTWEILERS NOW !

My feet are covered with sores and marks.
My nerves are shattered from sudden barks.
My wallet’s empty from paying the Vet,
and those Rotties are eating me into debt.

I sit down to rest in my favorite chair
And quick as a flash, the Rotties are there.
They’ve hauled off my shoes and chewed up my pipe,
But act so damned hurt, if I venture to gripe.

I rise in the morning, the new day to greet,
To find a Rottweiler standing firm on my feet.
I trip over another as I’m combing my hair,
While the puppy pulls hard at my underwear.

My fresh cup of coffee is now on the rug,
‘Cause the bitch gave my arm a sweet playful tug.
I’d pour me another, but sure as can be,
The Rotties would dump it all over me.

Please believe me people, it’s darn hard to write,
While my hand still hurts from that last loving bite.
The puppy is sneaking up in my lap,
While the one on my feet is down for a nap.

So to Hell with home life as it used to be,
And to Hell with quiet evenings with my family,
And to Hell with the money I’d spend anyhow!
Who needs them all……We’ve got Rottweilers now!!

Tail docking is a procedure that is done when the puppy is only days old. The proceedure is quite primitive to say the least, since the tail is twisted off, after a scissor-like contraption has been clamped onto the tail. Length varies according to breeds, with Rottweilers having a short docked tail, while bird dogs like Weimaraners for instance have longer ones. If the tail has been docked properly, the fur will grow on the end of it.

There are some reasons for docking. A breed standard often dictates it. Another reason could be the so called: “Happy Tail Phenomenon”. A lot of breeds, like the Labrador for example has such a powerful tail that comes from its passed function as a retreiver dog. It could swim along much like an otter. With such powerful strength, it has been known that these dogs can break their tails. And then what is left is a docking proceedure that has to be done at an adult stage – and it is much more painful when the dog is older.

It remains a controversial issue. A lot of breeders are against it, and sell purebred Rottweiler puppies with their tails intact.

A strong desire to work
Courage
Intelligence
Trainability
Strong bond to the handler
Perseverance
Protective Instinct

Schutzhund training tests these traits. It also tests physical traits such as strength, endurance, agility, and scenting ability. The goal of Schutzhund is to illuminate the character of a dog through training. Breeders can use this insight to determine how and whether to use the dog in producing the next generation of working dogs. It has long been identified that the Rottweiler is an ideal breed that excells at Schutzhund. It is intelligent, was bred to work and with its trainability and strong instinct to protect it is an ideal candidate for Schutzhund.

A rejected, uncared for, unloved and poorly-trained Rottweiler will become aggressive. But let’s look at this realistically. Any dog..or person for that matter will be a rebel if uncared-for and unloved. Right? So it all goes back to how the owner has raised his Rottweiler (or his children). A dog trained for dog-fights or aggression..WILL…be an aggresive and hostile dog. Aggression in Rottweilers is associated with poor breeding, poor handling, lack of socialization, natural guarding tendencies, and abuse. An assertive, loving and devoted Rottweiler is a result of proper breeding, proper handling, socialization and care. It makes total sense, doesn’t it? Rottweilers are not usually barkers. Male dogs are silent watchers who notice everything and are often stoic and aloof. Females may become barkers if they sense a threat to their den. An attentive owner will recognize when a Rottweiler perceives a threat. Barking is usually only a sign of annoyance with external factors like car alarms rather than a response to actual threats.

If you are planning on getting a Rottweiler, please do keep all this in mind. Maybe it seems to be a high-maintenance dog in your eyes, but in the end, it is worth every second to be the family member of this gorgeous breed!
