Country of Origin: Germany
- Developed from the Roman war dogs nearly 1800 years ago. Called lions.
Character: This breed is brave,
very loyal, obedient, protective, watchful, and strong. It will risk life and limb to defend its family.
Temperment: If properly socialized,
a Rottweiler makes a good playmate for children and gets along well with cats and other household animals. This is all contingent
on whether the dog has had positive experiences with them when young, however.
Coat: Short, thick, and coarse outer
layer with a thick under layer. It must always be black with brown markings. Occasionally there are long-haired varieties
or there may be a white chest marking, but these traits are considered undesirable.
Care When it is shedding, use a rubber
glove to remove dead hairs. The ears must be kept clean, and the claws must be kept short.
Colour: Black/tan
