Rottweiler facts
Welcome back to the doggyz if you are new here then my name
is Abhishek I am the founder of doggyz and one this blog I will tell you TOP 10
facts about a BADASS ! breed and that is the Rottweiler or Rottie.
Let's get straight
into it starting a list at number 10 is that these breeds actually started in
Rome the actual origin of the Rottweiler does remain a little hazy although it
is fought that they have an interesting ancestry many people speculate the
breed came about when the Romans bought dogs with them during their invasion of
Europe which they crossed with native breeds like the Aten butcher the greatest
wish mountain dog as well as some others all of which believed to be the
descendants of these same Roman dogs.
And coming in at number 9 is that although they might not
have been originated there they were perfected in Germany rotties were often
found in southern Germany in Switzerland and the breed was given their name
because of so many of them were left in the livestock training town of Rock
vile in Germany's southern region of the Black Forest their main job back worm
was to herd and guard livestock and their reputation of being loyal and
courageous gradually spreading to other parts of the land these large
impressive dogs became popular with butchers and they were often seen pulling
carts at the time they were known as Rottweiler Mexican guns which translated
means Rockville butchers dog and they fought to not be that much different from
the rotties that we still see today commenting.
At number 8 is getting the name right although it is
perfectly acceptable to pronounce the name Rottweiler the breed is from German
descent and the actual correct way to pronounce the name is rot viola with the
W pronounced as a V as is typical in the German language.
And number seven we have that Rottweilers are like bumper
cars thanks to the rotties history as a herder the dog has a habit of bumping
into people animals and things when they want them to fall in line while train
what Eilers are gentle breeders don't recommend the dogs for households with
young children or the addled elderly especially for this reason.
Coming in at number six we have that this breed came very
close to extinction towards the middle of the 19th century paved roads and
railroads started to change how livestock was brought to market herding dogs
were no longer needed when transporting cattle so Rottweilers found themselves
out of a job the number of rotties continued to dwindle and clubs disappeared the
breed almost vanished entirely but a small group of breeders fought hard to keep
them around in the 20th century the breed found a new purpose serving in the military
and on police forces Rottweilers were introduced to the United States in 1910
but their popularity continued to grow today the raht ila is the tenth most
popular breed in the entire United States.
Coming in at number five we have that they need very
specific looks for Kennel Club registration their height at the withers or
before males are 61 to 69 centimeters with females 56 to 60 3 centimeters and the
average weight for males is between 50 and 60 kilos with females just 35 to 40
8 kilos rotties a large and impressive dogs been well proportioned powerful and
extremely well muscled they have broad heads were moderately arched foreheads
and nicely muscled cheeks dogs have slight wrinkling on their heads when they
are alert otherwise the skin is tight their muzzles are deep with a well-defined
stop and their noses are black with nice wide large nostrils their eyes are
almond shaped and medium in size being dark brown with closely fitting eyelids
is a pendant and smallish and set high and wide on the dog's head and like
close to the dog's cheek rotties boast a perfect scissor bite where their upper
teeth neatly overlap their lower ones and lips a type will fall away gradually
at each corner of the dog's mouth next a fairly long and well muscled with dogs
holding them slightly art showing a lot of power and strength shoulders are
well laid back sloping rather along with rotties boasting powerful well muscled
front legs chest the broad and deep with dogs having well sprung ribs and deep briskets
and their backs are level straight with deep strong flanks hindquarters are
broad and very well muscled with lower thighs being muscular at the top yet
sinewy lower down back legs are powerful and very powerful that feat a compact
round with dogs boasting well arched toes back feet are larger than their front
ones which is quite rare for dog breeds the pads are extremely strong with
short dark nails and a rotties tail is quite thick and imbalanced to a dog's
overall appearance and it's at level two that group when it comes to their coat
the Rotti has a medium length coarse top coat which lies flat to a dog's body
their undercoat is shorter and gray black or fawn in color but it does not show
through their top coat the hair on the back of a dog's front legs and breaching
is typically slightly longer than on the rest of their body and with this add
excessively wavy or long coats are highly undesirable under the Kennel Club
breed standard the only accepted coat colors for the Rottweiler is black with
very well-defined tanm markings which includes a spot over each eye on a dog's
cheek a strip on each side of their muzzle on their throat two triangles on
each side of the breastbone on a dog's front legs from Karpis down to the toes
and inside of a dog's back legs that goes from the hock to their toes .
Coming in at number four we have American rotties versus
German rotties German clubs have different breed standards than the American
Kennel Club German rotties tend to be a little larger and have long tails in
the United States breeders tend to still favor the doc tail although the trend
is beginning to shift towards keeping the tail intact especially with countries
like here in the UK completely banning tail docking and ear cropping for
cruelty purposes unless there is a medical or working reason for them to be
removed which must fall under one of the following categories Iver for law
enforcement activities of the Armed Forces emergency rescue lawful pest control
or the lawful shooting of animals.
Before we get into our top three facts here's some positives
and negatives of the Rottweiler feed to take into account if you're considering
getting one of these noble powerful dogs some of the positives include that
Rottweilers are highly intelligent and very confident dogs and they're known to
be extremely loyal and devoted they're easy maintenance on the groom in front
and they're low to moderate shedders they are natural watchdogs being very protected
by nature that should also make helps make them very loyal and protective of
their owners and their owner's property however there are some negatives as
there is with every single breed of dog and it might be that Rottweilers are
not necessarily good choice for first-time dog owners and early socialization
and training is an absolute must they can be very demanding on quite a lot of
fronts and there are large dogs and therefore need enough space to express
themselves as they should puppies are extremely energetic and enthusiastic you
can sometimes show aggression towards other animals especially if they aren't
socialized well.
Coming in at number 3 factors that they have an incredibly
strong bite force thanks to their large heads Rottweilers have an impressively
strong bite their jaws are stronger than German Shepherds and pitbulls with a
force of eight pounds per square inch that's about half of a shark's bite force
at six hundred and sixty nine pounds.
And number two we have the excellent training is mandatory
just like people every what is different it's very important to train your dog
early and diligently to ensure that they're a gentle loving pet these are very powerful
dogs and they need to be taught when to use that power and when to stand down thankfully
the Rottweiler is one of the most intelligent dogs on the planet and therefore
they learn new things extremely quickly the downside to this is a Rottweiler
will be just as pick quick to pick up any bad habits as they are the good they
need to be handled with a firm yet sympathetic approach that is always
consistent right from the word go and throughout their lives which is one of
the reasons they are better suited to people who are familiar with their needs Rottweilers
need to be well socialized when they are puppies and it can be not stressed
strongly enough that their training must start as early as possible failure to
socialize a puppy or trainer young dog correctly is a recipe for disaster both
for a Rotti and their owners they are extremely intelligent but they also boast
a very dominant side to their natures and as such they need to be well trained
by someone who has experience with this type of breed they are amongst two
breeds a super sensitive to a person's voice and as such respond well and
extremely quickly when they're given a command with this in mind it's worth
noting a great care has to be taken when training to avoid getting them too
excited which could result in a dog becoming unruly and unmanageable.
And our number-one fact to my absolute favorite out this
breed is that they are insanely loyal dogs Rottweilers have been bred as guard
dogs so they are known to form strong bond bonds with their owners often they
will follow their family members from room to room and these loving dogs
generally do not do well spending too much time by themselves and love the
company of others they're fiercely loyal and they have strong guarding instinct
that makes them very protective of their family the Rottweiler is known to be
an active dog and one that needs lots of exercise as well as mental stimulation
for them to be truly happy well balanced characters as previously mentioned
they might not be the best choice of first-time owners because they do need to
be handled by someone who has the right experience with this kind of
intelligent impressive powerful dog although does make a good family pet their
sheer size means taking care when they're around younger children there are a
very good choice of people who work from home more for families well one person
usually stays at home and everyone else is out of the house a fully mature Rottweiler
is an extremely strong dog and one that can be very demanding as well as
arrogant at times and this instinct to guard is a trait that is deeply embedded
in their psyche which must be well understood when sharing a home of this
rotties with this said the Rottweiler thrives in a home environment and they
are never happier than when they can be with their owners and their families
and they'll follow them around just to be with them and to check that everything
that's going on in their environment is ok and they will look after you no
matter what.
