Rottweiler

When I met my ex in 2001 I managed to "inherit" a rottie by the name of raphie. So called as a dubious accolade to the teenage mutant ninja turtle himself, Raphaelo. I kid you not. I have always been a dog lover and have since extended that into the field of training and am hoping to undertake a grooming and microchipping course in the very near future. I have always been a "big dog" person and have helped with lots of police dog training and as such developed an affinity with German Shepherds. Never had I considered a rottie as a pet. But raphie had me at woof. He really did and I soon fell as in love with our constant companion as I ...  Read the complete review

I know Rotweilers get a really bad press and my own opinion of them were that they were a vicious breed. So when my ex boyfirned talked about getting one i was not very happy and tried to talk hime out of it. However he went ahead and got a male puppy, which i imediately fell in love with: he was so gentle and placid, i grew quite fond of him. A year later i split with my partner and moved out into my own house. I m,issed the dog terrible and felt lonely and vulnerable in my own house so decided to get myself a Rotty. I got 'sadie' in October 2006 and have never looked back. I cant imagine life without her, she is the most softest, gentle big bear ever. She can be ...  Read the complete review

There are quite a few previous reviews on Rottweiler as pets and all list knowledge of the bred standard ect. The following is my own experience of owning one, as a much loved pet. In 1982 I had never heard of Rottweiler's, when my husband said he wanted to buy one, we researched the bred for six months before we brought her from Barbara Butler chairman of the Midland Rottweiler club in Shropshire. Over the past thirty years I have know a lot of people who own Rottweilers and you should never be tempted by a puppy, whom parents you have not seen and the family history is unknown. These are wonderful dogs but with the wrong breed lines can be a ...  Read the complete review

Rotties, I have had two, both bitches, both bought from breeders when they were puppies. The first one was called Bella, she was lovely, I remember one day I had to go out so I shut her in the kitchen, when I came home I could see her stood with her paws up against the livingroom window. She was very happy to see me, but I was not very happy to see her in my livingroom, Shee had knocked plants all over the floor, chewed a few photograhs up and generally made a right mess, but I could not stop mad at her for long. Sadly Bella died of Bone Cancer. I now have Mia, she is 3 years old and she is a doll, I adore her. She ...  Read the complete review

I have kept rottweillers for over 40 years so I thought I would pass on some of the knowledge and tips I have learned over the years to try and help you with what can be a difficult breed to look after. To start with, I have to say that if you are looking to buy a rottweiler puppy then do not be deceived by the cute bundle of black fluff that will jump on you to be fussed. This sweet little thing that you can pick up with one hand will grow into a powerful 10 stone animal. If you have anyone in your household who is frightened of dogs then I would think again about whether a rottweiler is right for you as they have an intimidating appearance once fully grown ...  Read the complete review
