Rottweilers Make Excellent Companions

By Sharon Davies

One thing that immediately strikes you when you look at the Rottweiler is its robust nature and the power in its body and the next thing you will come to realize is that it is a very loyal creature that has good protective instincts as well. That is what makes the Rottweiler an excellent guard dog and besides, it is also a very good companion, which with proper Rottweiler care will be an asset to any home. However, given its special traits and because, thanks to good Rottweiler breeding, these animals are strong of a good size. This means that you need to shoulder a few more responsibilities in raising these breeds than is the case with other breeds. As a person interested in owning a Rottweiler, it would pay for you to learn about good Rottweiler breeding so that you can find out exactly what it takes to make a good Rottweiler, and thus make an informed decision when purchasing the breed.

Other considerations that you need to be on the lookout for include American Kennel Club registration papers and also Orthopedic Foundation for Animals certification. Genetic problems present in the Rottweiler, its health history and also that of its parents which should show whether the pup has been wormed and been given its shots.

In any case, you need to be wary about those Rottweilers that are being offered for sale at very low prices because these could be the result of poor Rottweiler breeding. If breeders offer you guarantees in writing, it is a welcome thing though not a guarantee that their dogs are of adequate standards. So, watch out for unscrupulous breeders of whom there are many.

There are many things that you will also need to consider about Rottweiler care and Rottweiler breeding that will help you choose the right puppy and thus ensure that you are giving a new home to a Rottweiler that has been well bred and which will be a part of your life for the next eight to fifteen years. It is also a good idea to read up about Rottweiler breeding and then carefully evaluate the mental as well as physical characteristics of the prospective puppy or adult dog that will suit you the best.

Dog shows are an ideal place where you can view and also find good Rottweilers that have been well bred and since such shows are sure to have many Rottweiler breeders showing off their puppies and dogs, you could make contact with them and thus find a good Rottweiler for yourself. If these Rottweilers are the product of good Rottweiler breeding they will stand about two feet tall and weigh about a hundred pounds though the females will be slightly shorter as well as a bit lighter in weight.

A Rottweiler may not look too tall or imposing, but it is certainly a very strong animal and they were also at one time used for pulling carts, which has made their bodies very muscular and strong. They can easily knock a full-grown person down and thus must be kept away from older people who could come to harm as a result of accidental bumps. However, the Rottweiler will respond well to obedience training and thus can be kept under control quite easily.

You need to ensure that before buying your Rottweiler you do not buy from breeders who do not show respect to the breed and will indulge in indiscriminate Rottweiler breeding and thus produce Rottweilers that have more than the desired numbers of problems. Don't be fooled by low prices and look to see that the Rottweiler has good black coat or even one that is of tan color, is strong looking and has an athletic build, while its movements are supple.

Because of its strength and generally imposing demeanor, there are many that are scared of the Rottweiler and even have gone as far as wanting Rottweiler breeding to be stopped. These people obviously do not know this great German breed is a superior animal and has been bred for more than two thousand years. The only problem with regard to this excellent creature is that improper Rottweiler car and training can cause more aggressive than is required.
