Rottweiler
Entered the United States around 1930
Rottweilers are said to have entered the United States sometime in nearly 1930s which then gained recognition by the AKC. Having become nearly extinct years earlier due to lack of functioning use by people, the Rottweiler has become one of the most popular dog breeds in today's households, making its mark in the top 10 most popular registered dogs of the American kennel club.
This animal is extremely bold, confident, and alert. In fact, the Rottweiler is a top pick for anyone who is looking for a watchdog that has extensive protection abilities. However, when a dog is as courageous and aggressively confident as the Rottweiler is, sometimes stubbornness comes with the territory in terms of training ability. However, it is worth putting in the extra time and patience when making this dog breed a household pet.

The Upkeep And Maintenance Of Your Rottweiler
Like most large dogs, the Rottweiler must have physical activity on a daily basis. Mental play and obedience lessons should also be a part of the daily regimen. Vigorous games and long walks on the leash through safe areas would make an ideal day for the Rottweiler.
This dog has a preference for cold weather and enjoys the winter months. It has little ability to handle hot weather and humid temperatures. Rottweilers can become overheated fairly quickly if ran too hard during the summer.
In terms of living arrangements, this dog can live both indoors and outdoors. If chosen to live outdoors, you should ensure that your Rottweiler is equipped with plenty of shade and shelter during the hot weather. However, it is a known fact that this dog prefers to be indoors spending lots of time with its owners.
Health Information For Your Rottweiler
The lifespan of the average healthy Rottweiler can last up to 11 years. Veterinarians suggest that specific tests be done for hip dysplasia, cardiac problems, vWD, and elbow dysplasia. The major health concerns that all Rottweilers may have are elbow dysplasia, SAS, CHD, and osteosarcoma.

Get More Information About The Rottweiler From Wikipedia
The Rottweiler, or Rottweil Metzgerhund ("Butchers Dog"), is a "medium to large size, stalwart dog"Fédération CynoIogique Internationale-Standard N° 147/ 19. 06. 2000 / GB The Rottweiler. Translated by - Mrs C. Seidler Country of Origin ? Germany. Available online at ADRK website Rottweiler Breed Standard breed originating in Germany as a herding dog. It is a hardy and very intelligent breed. Rottweilers also worked as draught dogs, pulling carts to carry meat and other products to market as well as for hunting . "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. Cit.
The Rottweiler was kept busy in these traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railroads replaced droving for getting livestock to market. Although there are still Rottweilers working stock all over the world, many other roles have been found for this versatile breed.
During the First and Second World Wars, Rottweilers were put into service in various roles including as messenger, draught, and guard dogs. Currently they are often used as search and rescue, assistance, guide dogs for the blind, guard and police dogs in addition to their traditional roles.

- We love our Rotten-weiler, such a sweet and loyal breed. As a guard dog, his skills are zilch but as a lover and a lap dog he is a pro. Lensrolled to "Ugly Dogs Need Love Too" but he isn't the ugly dog in question... he's one handsome little poser.

- This was fun for me as I have raised and trained many rottweilers. They are a wonderful dog. Most of the problems people have with them are because they are put on a backyard chain and ignored or never socially trained. They should never be owned by someone who won't train them but they do make great family dogs. I used to have one that liked to jump on the trampoline with my kids. :0)
