FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ROTTWEILERS 

In my opinion one should never forget that the Rottweiler is, after all, a very sensitive dog. He needs a lot of affection all day long., he needs the therapeutical feeling that he is welcome, like a child. He wants to be your very best friend what you ought to appreciate. After a while you realise, that even the birds and the squirrels in the garden don't escape because they know here comes a gentle giant.

they are very protective of kids if raised around them. great nanny dogs

I had a Rottie, and she was absolutely PERFECT... I loved her to bits. She was calm, loving, just a joy to be around. Will definitely get another one of these big teddy bears

Love to see Rottweiler with their tails..

They are the best dogs

I think you missed one thing that most people who've never been owned by a Rottie wouldn't guess but you can see quite clearly in this clip - they are big old smugglers who believe they are lap dogs. That pup he's got on the couch with him here is flipping adorable!

I have a 6year old male rottweiler,,,, by far the best dog,,,,love him so much,,,,,loves to play,,,,eat,,,,,car rides,,,,,walks,,,,,sleeping,,,,,he's my best friend

I've had Pitts for many years. Just got my first Rott. He was 7 months old when we got him. Wasnt sure how he was gonna he around my Pitt, my wife's little yorkie, our cat , or the small kids. He loves everybody. Plays with the yorkie and the Pitt and keeps licking on the cat. (Not sure if hes taste testing the cat, lol) and absolutely loves the kids. Curls up with my 6 year old every night. Only complaint , hes a bed hog. So glad we made him a part of our family.

Great video! I agree completely about the socialization. Mine was 5 months old when I got him. I immediately began taking him everywhere with me. He is highly socialized. He loves people. I think he would be a very different dog if I had not done this. I also have 2 miniature dachshunds and cats and chickens. He does wonderfully well with all of them. He's an amazing dog. He's my first Rottweiler, definitely not my first dog. I love him with all my heart and would love to have another Rottweiler when the time is right

0:57 "Romans brought them over from Roman" Lol!

Rotty s are best dogs period I love them I had one for 11 and a half years RIP. JUICE

My dad use to have one, and it was the sweetest kindness dog I remember, wouldn’t hurt a fly, I miss him

I love rottweilers (mine is currently on her first heat cuddling up to me as I type this) she is such a sweet pie.

What if I told you that Rottweilers changed my life for the better? They are that good and I am not even exaggerating.

That dog has a place in my heart

Rottweilers are great dogs. Trained right and treated right they are wonderful lovable goofballs! LOL!

I got 2 120 pound rottie they are the best breed of dog in my opinion

We had a rottie for 12 yrs. Rescued from a local shelter. Got him at about 3 months old. Best pupper we have ever had. Great with children, people and other dogs. He was 110 lbs of goofball happiness. It's been 11 yrs since cancer claimed him and I still miss him greatly.

Such a great breed!

oh my god , I am so jealous. look at its face! I am crying.

Excellent list. I'd add one caveat. On my second Rottweiler, I took the socialization aspect too far, partially because it's easy. I initially assumed it's anxiety and aggression towards dogs was rooted in lack of socialization. However. What turned out to be the case was that this particular dog often preferred to be alone. She was more neurotic than my previous Rottweiler. What I didn't realise at first was that she actually needed a lot more investment and leadership, than my previous dog. Upon understanding that fact, I doubled my effort in exercise and firmer leadership, while limiting the exposure to other dogs. The result was a calm, disciplined and confident dog. To sum, dogs have nuanced personalities. Oftentimes, the answer you're looking for will be where you least want to look - e.g. using more time and effort. ;)

I'm getting a Rottweiler soon. You did a great job on this video. I know now what I should do. And Nothing will be left out

Should mention , start working with them as soon as 3 months and keep with training for first 2 years, Rots are smart but stubborn and the worst thing you can have is a rotten rotty, they are a big powerful dog with a big jaw and alot of biteforce, even when playing they can draw blood and hurt you. Mine loves me alot but can still get carried away when we play, not in a mean way at all just has a big mouth and teeth and sometimes my hand is in wrong place. Fetch : LOL its theirs until they want to share Dont be surprised if you end up with a 120 pound plus LAP dog couch potato, mine loves to lay on her back with head on my leg and watch TV Doors - Mine has mastered opening many of them by bumping her nose, she learned to slide the glass patio door open, She has also unlocked and opened the truck door to come find me in the gas station!

Great advice. Thank you!

They look scary but I’ve always loved them. That child’s book Carl was my favorite.

rotties are the best dogs in the world. I love them so much

I love Rottweilers and I have one of my own and she is so loyal and has a very nice temperament and loves to hide under the beds

What you are saying is absolutely true and to the point. More Rottweiler dog owners need to hear these major points and abide by them. But there a lot of owners, sad to say, that just want to have a Rottie that is aggressive and mean. Socialization and training (the right way) will give these magnificent breeds exactly what they need and will give you, the owner, peace of mind and a pet who is smart, gentle and will watch your back forever!

Definitely the best of dog breed, I used too have one.

Im getting a rotti pup this weekend and this is good to know, thank yu!

These are my favorite breeds I can’t wait to get one.

I'd say that's exactly right. The one we have now we got at Windy River and he is just a beautiful dog. He does well in classes; and without any training has now been successfully herding around our little Golden Retriever puppy using a squeaky toy. Usually he would tear a toy like that up in about 5 seconds, but he won't tear it up, he uses different squeaks to call her or direct her. It's fantastic. What unbelievable great dogs.

Good video, all tips I as an owner would say to a potential owner.

Watching this makes miss my puppy... She passed away literally when this vid was released...

Hey Mike, 2 very important points you mentioned is socializing your dog as much as you can when the dogs are in its first 2 yrs of growth and then of course, have some consistency after that. I've had a Rotty, a Doberman and now a Bull Mastiff. All my dogs, grew up that way and they were very social to all dogs and kids. Thanks for your Rottweiler training.

Your temperament of the rott is so true. They love people and other animals with good Socialization

i have 7 rottwillers and they are super trained super playfull and super funny and their good with kids

Number 5 is my favorite part of my Rotty. He is good when it comes to hearing people coming to our door, when people close car doors infront of our yard (on the street) or our next door neighboors he immidietly gets up and is on alert. He barks at anyone who comes to our door whom he is not familiar with. He has never had a pee or poop incident inside the house ever since he moved in with me which has been about 5 months. He is super friendly with us and always wants to play :D

thats the most beautiful rottweiler i've seen

I’m going to get one for my momma.. Im a trucker and usually never home she lives alone I think this would be a great protection for her

Good thing I have my own Rottweiler 🙃

i have had about 3 rotts and can say they are a natural at guarding and protection. they are quick to guard especially if aggression is shown. they have a loyalty to their humans that's probably unmatched among 90% of most dog breeds. german shepherds are nice dogs, they are very smart but when it comes to fearlessness, hands down the rott is king.

you are very smart you know everything you said is true and most people see all of the things as being aggressive and I don't know why

im getting a Rottweiler soon! im so excited!

thank u and i love your dog ☺

I had a rottweiler ...its intelligent and easy learning dog

Great short info video. Thanks for sharing.

My Rottie met his first mouse on a walking track last week,I watched expecting him to paw at it like he does with insects, but he just wanted a good sniff and see what it was,he followed it for a few feet before it went into the undergrowth. He's so gentle with other species....unless its an insect lol.

they are the best dog on the planet just love rottweilers

When I was 12 my brother bugged my dad for a dog, our cat died a few months before we all missed having a pet around the house. I was scared of dogs at the time, but when he found out that a friend of his was having to get rid of this rottie - wife was worried about having him near 2 young kids. My dad agreed to a meeting with the dog- where we all went to meet him, telling my brother that if your sister is scared then this is the end of you asking me. It was love at first sight for me- I went up and hugged him straight away- no one had ever tried to hug him before- he loved it and put his head on my shoulder and panted. I had to have him- we walked home with him that day for a month trail that only ended years later when he passed away surrounded by us all. He helped me get over a fear of dogs, he protected me and cuddled with me everyday. God I miss him so much, his previous owner was so happy that he had lots of love, cuddles and company- there was nearly always someone home keeping him company. Xxx

"The Romans brought them over from Roman." 😂 Handsome dude.

My dream dogs are Rotties, German shepherd, and Husky/ Alaska malamute. I already have two Rotties

Absolutely the best dog.

I had one in Florida. Best dog i ever had

Spot on. When my basset hound died I adopted a mixed breed from the shelter. I ended up with Wolfie partly because no one else would take him. He was 2.5 years old and was part lab, part shepherd and part rottweiler. His body looked more lab (with the exception of the rottie markings), but his personality is all rottweiler. Despite a terrible history of abuse, and unfortunately some anxiety that continues because of it, he is a lovely dog with a sweet temperament, even after all he's been through. He's intelligent, loving, loyal, playful and also, a true guard dog (but without a truly aggressive bone in his body). He has made such strides in the year and a half I've had him, is wonderful with my young son, other dogs and pets. This was an entirely new dog experience for me (bassets and spaniels being my previous experiences), but I would adopt another rottweiler in a second.

My dad wants one and we’re discussing it. We’re not gonna get one anytime soon, buh it’s a fun topic to talk bout. :))

Correct about all the facts u said. My dog is just like that

Great dogs! Though my friends big male used to drool like a waterfall. It would go everywhere

Great information. Beautiful stance😍😍😍

Some people say Rottweilers are very bad and don't behave but it's probably the way they raised them!You have to treat them will love and care!I have a Rottweiler myself and she is really gentle and loving ♥️

Amazing dog breed!

It's a tremendous dog type. ❤️❤️❤️

Best dog hands down

I never cared either way about them until I lived with one (my roommate's dog) and I just totally fell in love with her. She's 11 years old and still very healthy and everything you said here seems to be true -especially the way she guards the house. She is a big silly goofball full of love and wanting of love, but when you hear that door knock and then that bark, it really gets your attention, to say the least. I would definitely consider owning one but the joint displaysia thing has me concerned, in addition to the fact that I have not had good luck with "purebred" dogs. They always seemed to have some major problems and I attribute that to inbreeding.

Beautiful breed 💖 Good vid 💛

Since we raw fed our dogs we had no issues with weight nor bones. Ours was a rottie/retriever, with amazing parents and she did everything from watch the property, hunt, play with the kids and help clean up logs. She could swing a log with her mouth as needed or just play withit, and she was very gentle as I needed, she was pretty quiet and good with people, but only once she alerted with alarm it was as she was older and it was a nervous ups guy. She was the best dog ever. We could take her country, town or city she was fine with whatever we asked of her. Awesome dog.

great video !!! lots of people really don't know the real rottweiler !!!

thank you so much

I love rottweilars

Totally agree

Rottweilers are by far the most loyal loving and truly intelligent breed of dog i have ever owned they need lots of love and attention bcuz they are so devoted to their family they feel just like one of the kids!! My girl is loved by all of my friends and many have got their own after seeing mine for what she truly is... a huge teddy bear! lol... would never own another breed! She knows everything I say & listens so well bcuz they do just about anything to please you!! Gia is my BFF!!!!!

A truly wonderfully loyal breed my beloved Dottie died last year almost 11-years-old the best friend me and grandkids could ever have

Realy this is the best dog

One of my most favorite dog ROTTWEILER cool video tho

Thanks

What a gorgeous dog!!!!

couldn't agree more! gotta train them from a puppy for obedience.

That dog is adorable.

I used to want a Norman Rottweiler but I am glad my mom got a chihuahua.

I've been around several rotties over the years. There have been zero issues with the breed. 100% recommended (not that my opinion matters).

very smart breed.... love them

I have now my 2nd Rottweiler (Males) They are wonderful dogs however not easy to handle for a beginners. My Boy is from the crossener ranch, a fantastic german breeder...

they‘re great friends

thanks!

Getting my rott in July. She's a Expo dog from Blackrosesrot Kennel from Romania. If you like rottweilers, be sure to check they're website; just google it. Dorian is a really great guy, and he loves what he does. Cheers P.s can't wait for my puppy to come.

Wish I had done more research on my rotti. Wish I had her be more social when she was a puppy.

You have a beautiful Rottweiler

missed my rott ' Dexter" so much. he passed away on 24th August 2017. he will be my one and only beloved son. now all I can hold on to is his choker.

I was protected by a Rottweiler when I was younger from a older dog that sadly went senile

Good info because I want one

I have a Rottweiler ... And I love him... He is me cutepie 😘

Some nice looking Dogs there

A very engaging dog breed that needs massive amounts of interaction, inclusion and training. And they’re worth every moment of your time! They pay back 2 to 1 to make up for their regrettably short lives. We’ve had Rotties for over 20 years. Not one ugly incident in that time. But when I approach other Rotties I do so with caution because I know that they see me as an outsider. They are lovely, they are loyal. Quite frankly, all dogs are awesome. Some are just “awesomer”! Love your dog. Go for a walk!

I had a rottie when i was younger. Great dog. I work nights, so i wouldn’t have a dog at all now. Great dogs. I hope i can work something out cos i love rotties.

Awesome dogs, naughty, but awesome!

So I'm going to get a rottie tomorrow and I would like to have some tips to raise him as a great cute socialized puppy. Thanks for the video

Best dogs ever and so cute iam getting one

Superb dogs best in the world

Best breed hands down

0:57 it smiled :)
