big rottweiler dog buffk9 Rottweiler breeders aim at a dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings, whose powerful appearance does not lack nobility and which is exceptionally well suited to being a companion, service and working dog” ( FCI Standard N° 147 Op. Citi.).

“A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog”(“R”).

One health issue that this breed may face is hip dysplasia.

“For unknown reasons, Rotties are more susceptible than other breeds to become infected with parvovirus, a highly contagious and deadly disease of puppies and young dogs” (“R”).

“If overfed or under exercised, Rottweilers are prone to obesity. Some of the consequences of obesity can be very serious, including arthritis, breathing difficulties, diabetes, heart failure, reproductive problems, skin disease, reduced resistance to disease and overheating caused by the thick jacket of fat under the skin” (“R”).
