A dog is a dog, is it a dog right? Well, the answer to that question depends on whether or not you have fallen in love with a particular breed of dog.
So what makes a Rottweiler so unique that once you’re exposed to them, you can’t live without them? In my humble opinion, having been in love with the breed for almost 20 years, it is because of its character and dual personality :0)
All the stuff you hear on the news, and the stuff that comes out of the mouths of highly ignorant people doesn’t even come close to representing the real rottweiler
What do I mean by split personality? I have a 120 pound dog that sleeps with me all night because his dad works at the cemetery. He loves to snuggle up, hog the sheets and give big kisses.
That same dog, if someone knocks on my door in the middle of the night or worse, breaks into my house, he will not only scare the would-be intruder, but also protect me with his life if necessary.
Now, toss that coin again and anyone who comes across my well-trained Rottweiler while out for a walk or on a trip to the pet store is in for a fun-loving, tail-wagging class (what’s the matter with that). clown.
When you meet someone new, the first thing you want to do is sit on their foot, lean on their leg, and shove their head under your pet hand.
If there is a ball within 100 yards, his nose will sniff it out. If you’re lucky enough to be the one he takes to throw it away, then you’re his best friend for life. If you ignore his efforts to throw it, you’ll find him pushing the ball between your feet and looking back and forth between your face and the ball until you finally collapse.
Now go ahead and flip that coin one more time and find a Rottweiler guarding the family vehicle while your people are in the shop. You’ll likely get a calm look that simply says “Please move away from the vehicle.”
If you don’t comply with the first request, you will likely get a second warning that sounds more like “get away from the vehicle NOW!”
Rottweiler dogs are fiercely loyal to their family and very protective of the people and property that “belongs” to their pack.
Rottweiler owners are absolutely passionate about the breed. Just go to an online forum dedicated to Rottweilers, such as RottweilersOnline.com and you will find a very passionate group of people who, after owning a Rottweiler, will never have another breed of dog. They at least use a Rottie and they will always be a part of your family.
Contrary to popular belief, Rotties make great family pets and tend to love children. Their natural tendency is to be very calm, cool and collected. The key to bring to light real Rottweiler traits are to breed, train and socialize properly, which unfortunately does not always happen.
If you are thinking of adding a Rottweiler to your family, I recommend that you do as much research as possible and find out what the real Rottie is all about.
