Living with a Rottweiler

History

The Rottweiler is a descendant from the mastiff-type dog called Molossus. Centuries ago, the Romans took them along to Germany, using them to drive cattle. As they matched on, the Molossus came across other dogs with which they mated and reproduced.

During this period, the Rottweiler was used majorly for driving cattle. The Romans also kept their purses around their Rottweiler’s neck to keep their money safe. When rail transport was used to replace cattle drives, the Rottweiler’s popular dropped drastically. A Rottweiler exhibition in 1882 changed the situation for the dog breed. Since then the Rottweiler became famous Police and military dogs.

Temperament

The Rottweiler is a confident, bold and sometimes calm breed of dog. It cannot be intimidated either by other dogs or humans. It doesn’t make friends easily but is very loyal when it does. The Rottweiler is not a jumpy, lively dog. Most times it keeps to itself and observes.

They shed twice annually so during that period, daily brushing is advisable. Bathe your Rottweilers when necessary.

I want to recognize Natali and her team from Pets Mart on their personal attention to my puppy purchase . I decided to buy from them again since our first dog that we purchased from them has been in great health over the past 8 years . I have had him for a week and he is developing his personality and we’ve been to the vet and they gave him a clean bill of health. I decided to take the dog to my vet that we’ve had for years in addition to the vet that pet land recommends that you go to. In both cases, they found the dog to be in good condition. No parasites, clear lungs and strong heart. I know there are many options in adopting a pet, including the shelter, but we prefer to know the background of the dog as much as possible, and have some level of guarantee from the breeder of which petland gave us both . In either case, thank you Petland team for all your help.
