      I’ve had the pleasure of working with a German Shepherd and a Doberman, but the Rottweiler was the most intelligent, most gentle with children and had a natural bravery that you can’t teach. The dog feared literally nothing.

      @@jackfeliciano8114 I'm a dog handler, and have used Malinois in every situation. As I get older, i need a less "active" dog, though by no means a "couch potato".
      A Rottweilier IS absolutely geared for police, military or any situation you can think of. If trained properly, and given a lot of exercise, he may not have the same agility as a Malinois, but his "grip" absolutely makes up for it. His mentality too. She/he will not question your judgement every step of the way, resorting to trickery to get her/his way. He'll take a year more than a Malinois to mature enough though, so if a perfectly trained 2 year old dog is what you're looking for (efficiency/cost ratio), then get a Malinois. That's what most police forces have to deal with, because it takes a lot of money to train a working dog. If you can take another year as a private citizen, then go for a Rott.
      Unfortunately, most Rotts are bread for size and power, not given enough exercise because they're considered to be a deterrent rather than a combatant. A 130 lb Rottweiler I can toy with for seconds, or sometimes minutes, before he's exhausted. He won't ever catch me. A fit 90 lb Rott will never doubt you, will do as you say, and more specifically won't be denied until he's locked on, and then you'll feel his power. Though a Rott is not the most powerful dog, it certainly beats most breeds just for tenacity. A 200 lb dog may bite harder, but its not trying to dismember you.
      Cheers :)

      If you want a dog that will protect it's owners and property 100%, without training, go for a kangal :) I have two male beauceron, french shepherd breed so it's in their instinct to protect, but they are aggressive only against animals, human friendly, so if a robber comes they won't do anything besides wagging their tail in happiness of company 😃 my mother friend's owned a young kangal back in the day's and he knew me since he was a puppy so I was safe, but can't tell the same for my other friend who got bite in the back while running in fear, the moment he entered the property the dog charged him, and of course I failed holding him I was a child, so yeah kangal will do the job ! But it's not a joke if you want one be sure to possess a big property otherwise he won't be happy, and that you can physically hold it because he sure is a very big and strong dog

    I had a rottweiler. She was the best dog I ever had, so obedient. There was a time when I was walking her, & a neighbor lady had her 2 little dogs out loose in her yard. They both came running yapping at us pretty aggressively. I immediately told my dog to sit (which she did right away), and I got in front of her so that I was between her and the dogs. The elderly lady came running from her gardening & did very little to corral her little dogs. She finally did, but my point is, my rottweiler, just sat obediently behind me the whole time! Afterwards, I tugged on her leash to continue our walk, but she was pretty shaken up & didn't want to go anywhere from her sitting position. I had to sit down to her level & have a little calming conversation with her. After that, I got up, & she was ready to go. I was extremely proud to have her as my dog.

    Hi, I was a lucky owner of a Rottweiler for 10 years till he passed, From a pup till the age of 10 he never caused us a problem. He never, ever chewed anything, nor did he attack anyone or anything in his 10 years. He was a beautiful dog and very, very protective regarding our home. I did train him to the best of my knowledge and this seemed to be ok. All in all, I would recommend this breed to anyone who has the time to act/react, and to fully socialise a Rotty with everyone he meets and there should not ever be a problem. Very, very loyal dog and I miss him so much. Cheers.

She was cuddly in general, but during a storm she could not get close enough to me, sitting in my lap. That’s a little awkward for such a big dog!

Every rottie owner has had a pillow, furniture, socks, etc chewed on. No matter how many toys you give them. Unless you are home all day watching every little move. Most people are not home all day, they are working. You can do all the playing and exercising in the world it will happen; Not everyday but it will happen a couple times a month. this myth of lack of whatever activities should stop.

    We got an 11 month old rescue rot a few months ago. He was only 65 pounds, had hook worms galore, was ignored most of the time (but he was at least an inside dog they just didn't do anything with him), and he was beat a lot (he hits the ground like a gun shot just went off when you move your hands too fast around him). Even though he's gone through a lot, he has never, ever lashed out or bit me, my wife, or my daughter. He's the biggest sweetheart ever. He does have separation anxiety which makes doing anything outside of the house impossible unless he tags along. But, he is now 75 pounds and still gaining weight. A lot of work for a first dog (of my own. I grew up with dogs all my life), but he's absolutely worth it.

    good to see rotties of normal size, instead of the huge, fat, musclebound oversized dogs so many breed today. making a dog so big that it loses its athleticism and stamina takes away all of its ability and shortens the dogs life, not to mention the dogs must be miserable.

      Weirdanimalboy the face is determined by its lineage. European Rotts have more smashed in faces.

    • @butkusfan23
      @butkusfan23 Před 7 lety +20

      True, it is determined by lineage, but that does not mean just because dogs are bred in Europe that they have the shorter muzzles. Certain breeders produce those lines on purpose and the shorter muzzle should not be bred for. It is not part of the standard for the breed, and it can lead to health problems.

    Approximately 26 years ago, I met my first Rottie. My eldest son (who was an only child at the time) was around a year old and my best base housewife friend had just adopted Johansson from a rescue shelter. He was an older akc purebred Rottweiler. The first time I walked up to her front door he charged the glass front door snarling and barking. I was absolutely certain he was going to break through that storm door and eat me alive and I was ready to just turn my happy ass homeward and calmly lock myself in our townhouse apartment and never leave it again. But my friend walked out of her kitchen and told Johansson to calm. He immediately went from the door to her side and sat patiently watching me the whole time. My friend opened the front door and convinced me (with a lot of effort) to come inside. She had me hold out my hand and told Johansson that I was a “friend” which to Johansson must have meant “pack”. He licked my hand and then butted me for head scratches. We introduced AC to Johansson and proceeded to have an enjoyable afternoon. My friends son who was near the same age as AC came running to give AC a hug and subsequently my friend and I sat on the couch together. Johansson lay himself down across both of our feet and Her son came over and stepped up on Johansson’s rear hip. AC went to climb up the enormous dog and stand on his front shoulder. I lunged for him, thinking he was gonna get himself eaten. My friend was like, leave him. The boys are too small to hurt him and he prefers to have his family as close as possible. He lifted his head to lick AC from time to time, but otherwise was just happy to have us all touching him at the same time. Never once did that dog give me a qualm for my son’s safety.
    One day following the dog training courses that we attended together we were returning to base with the babies and the dogs in the back seat. My friend’s husband was an MP. So, my friend knew many of the MP’s on base. At the checkpoint one of the MP’s reached for our ID’s but noticed it was my friend in the driver’s seat. He went to lean into the car with his arms folded across the window frame of the door. Johansson was up out of the back seat and in her lap lunging at the window snapping and snarling. He was protecting his mamma. When she told him to calm he returned to the back seat alert but not tense. Not growling or anything. Just watching. He was trained by his previous owners, and his commands were relayed to the rescue. His owner had passed away and his daughter was not keen on having such a big dog around the house. I have never felt as safe as I did traveling or at home as I did with that dog in our lives.
    I have since met quite a few well trained Rottweilers. Beautiful sleek muscular and majestic. I honestly have not ever seen a rottie that lived up to its “reputation” for viciousness. I imagine that the dogs that have been aggressive are poorly trained, unsocialized, abused, or specifically trained to attack people. The same can be said for the extremely popular Pitt Bull. My mother visits her chiropractor three times a week. Her doctor brings her Pitties to work, and patients are encouraged to pet and schnuggle them while awaiting their time on the table. They were both rescue dogs. I don’t know their history, but I do know that despite not having been trained as a medical therapy animal they are wonderful therapeutic animals for her patients.
    It is a frustrating and sad thing to me that we blame a “breed” for incidents that are owner caused whether by neglect or abuse. I would never promote a first time dog owner to raise and train a dog of either breed, but experienced confident dog owners will find themselves with loyal intelligent alert guardian dogs that are happy to be a part of a well adjusted family.

    I've owned 5 rotties since 1990. I learned early that for a large dog rotties have plenty of energy. I currently have an 8 year old female and a 3 year old male. My female still had the energy she had when she was 2. Im blessed to have a large fenced 1acre yard for them to run. I work from home so I keep them in during the heat of the day but let them out at night until about bed time.

    Meanwhile, my rottweiler Athena (RIP 2013-2017) loved to squeeze into too small pet beds, sneak upstairs and sleep outside your door then run away when you saw her (because she knew she was breaking the rules), she liked to try and play with her older Shiba Inu brother-from-another-mother but he was too old and small, she liked to sit on your feet when you tried to leave the house so you couldn't put your shoes on, and she liked to show you her butt (she knew it was a cute butt). She died at only 4 years old of sudden peritonitis (ruptured intestine) and we believe it was from ulcers created by her harsh joint prescriptions. She was the sweetest animal and became instant friends with everyone she met, but if she met someone she had a feeling was a bad person, she'd let the whole world know and I know she would have died for me or anyone else in my family. Once my father and I were messing around and she was darting back and forth between helping me fight my dad and helping my dad fight me because she was confused on who to protect; she loved us both. She NEVER destroyed anything, if you can believe that. She even did her best to keep her prized collection of stuffed angry bird toys in tact. His dogs are bored and they aren't treated like the big babies all Rotties are deep down. You need a good relationship otherwise their guarding is just mindless instinct-- they need motivation and her love for her family was that motivation. I would like to say I'd get another Rottweiler, but Athena was too special to me and I don't want any other Rottweiler but her, it was not fair to her or us that she went out the way she did-- fighting a deadly infection and holding out through the pain without a single whine or cry. She stayed strong the whole way through, but the peritonitis killed her in a matter of 36 hours of the rupture. Sad, but I have too many amazing memories of her to be sad about it. Love these dogs.

I was really scared of him at first. I just stayed calm and kind around him. We connected and he is the most loving faithful dog I ever saw. A gentle giant. He is more obedient than our German Shepherd! I absolutely love being a dog mom 🤗

    - Now, that man there is a PROPER dog owner and not _just_ a Rottweiler owner. He's a man that lives the same way as I do regarding priorities, and he _also_ lives for his dogs. My male Rottweiler is 6 1/2 years old, IKC reg (Irish Kennel Club), and kicks in at just 51.3kg (113lbs). His main purpose before I got him was soley for stud. As said, you have to adapt your way of life to them, and I hear you with the _''as you get older, you may slow down, but the dogs don't!''_ . I'm medically retired from work and have to pace myself each day with the dog. You have to think 2 steps ahead all the time. As for holidays, I too have _never_ had a single holiday in my life, due to the fact that I refuse to leave my dog(s) with someone else, or have them put in a kennel. If I cannot take my dog(s) with me, then I don't travel. I've even had to cancel vital medical appointments and a couple of surgery dates due to not being able to leave my dog 'home alone' for the near 6 hours it will take me to do the return hospital trip. I don't have a car, so I cannot take him with me. It's unfair on the dog, and I don't trust anyone to be in my house. So, again, if he can't go, then I don't go.
    My Rottweiler has been assesed for temperament, and in their words, my dog is a soft as poo on a hot day! I tell you, I think I have a faulty dog! - I reckon you could break into my house, steal everything, and my Rottie would either just sit there watching, or he'd help you out the door with the TV. - We've had small kids come up and ''want to pet the dog'', and they are told ''pet the back first''. One woman who had _never_ met a Rottweiler in real life said she was terrified of them, purely down to their reputation. As she was in the pet shop at the same time as me buying stuff for her dog, the opwner gave her a sausage to give to my dog. She was _very_ nervous. I said don't be, as she stands a better chance getting bitten by _her_ little snappy lap dog than she does by mine. My dog took the sausage SO gently from her, that he barely held it in his mouth. He almost dropped it. SHe petted him afterwards, and the dog just sat, looking at her with 'love' and wanting another treat!
    The woman left apologising to me, as she was embarrased at her own predudice!
    Dog friendly with anything we meet, and he has not been castrated (he's entire). As a testament to how placid he is...we took him to a mates workshop for a day out, and their dog is an 11 year old uncastrated (entire) German Shepherd. All their dog wanted to do was try and mount mine, with the Shepherds paw constantly going on the back of my dogs neck...then the mounting behaviour, then resting the chin on my dogs back. You'd expect a fight, or at least a growl from mine. Nothing! - Not a lip curl or a hackle raised. Mine just carried on with his walk and peed as normal, the Shepherds nose just stuck firm at the rear of mine.
    That all said, we did encounter a _really_ obese guy walking towards us one day. Obese people walk with their arms swinging (or flailing) from side to side. Give my dog his dues, he _did_ raise the hackles, stood firm, and growled as the guy got closer. Then a couple of unexpected barks appeared. The man was not impressed at my dog barking at him, and I said _''what the hell do you expect, walking like that, arms swinging from side to side....the dog just sees the arm movements as ''not normal....he's picked it up as a possible threat....that's how people come at you if they want to fight, arms flailing''_ . The guy even had the balls to return with _''there's nothing I can do about the way I walk''_ - WHAT? Yes there is mate!
    But, other than that ''incident'' He's a soft lump that sleeps on my bed, is with me almost 24/7, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I have a 110-pound Rottie/Pit Bull cross who gets 2 hours of vigorous exercise per day. As Cesar says, "A tired dog is s well-behaved dog." Although I live on a ranch, I take him to a dog park in the city once every two weeks where he meets and greets hundreds of dogs and gets along with everyone. Only twice in his 2-year life has he been attacked by other dogs (both while the other dogs were visiting our property), once a large mastiff and once a large Shepherd....he destroyed both of them in a matter of seconds, in fact I think he would've killed the mastiff if I wasn't nearby because the mastiff refused to give up. I emphasize...he's an absolute sweetheart, but even the trainer at the Rottie school I took him to after getting him as a rescue puppy says he just might be the strongest dog she's ever had in her class -- picture Rottie size and colors mixed with Pit Bull sinew and muscle.
    He loves to play with other dogs and his toys...and he LOVES to be around people! We can't have a party or a barbecue where he isn't the star attraction. He loves kids.
    I agree with everything this fellow says, but I have no accommodations in my house for the dog....he doesn't eat furniture and he doesn't misbehave (not sure why the fellow in the video has these problems). Agree these dogs are not for everyone...I'm 6-feet, 180 pounds and when my dog saw a deer in the trees and took off with his leash attached, he yanked me 12 feet through the air and broke my middle finger on the leash hand...my fault for not letting go of the leash. I've since trained him to ignore deer and am working on squirrels. He can climb trees and has killed three squirrels that we know of.
    Rotties are so trainable and, in my opinion, the most huggable dog out there because they want to be close to a good owner. Like all dogs, they have that incredible inner clock. He will gently bite and pull my wrist at meal times, nap times, and bed times -- right down to the second. If anyone can explain how dogs know time, please publish it!
    As I say, I live in the country and over the years there have been break-ins at some of the ranches. I have absolutely no worries, as he is incredibly protective and he sleeps in the bedroom bay window with the windows cracked open. Anything moves within a mile of the house, and he reacts. I feel sorry for any criminal coming across this dog at night.
    Amazing, amazing animals!!

    • @koopspook
      @koopspook Před 5 lety +1

      Damn bro sorry about your finger, one reason I grip the leash itself instead of that stupid loop thing, I've hurt my whole hand like that but nothing serious. We also live in mountain area and the rottweiler is great up here, it keeps him in shape. I've seen bear signs and have had mountain lions watch us from distance but it's actually coyotes that have made attempts at this dog. I saved his ass one time, you know when wild dogs or wolves attack an animal from the rear while one distracts in the front and they go back and forth. that's what they did to my dog until I ran up yelling and was able to get my dog. It was getting dark and they were still around as I could see their eyes watching when I shined the light lol, they're pretty big too sometimes I wonder if they crossbreed with the stray dogs people dump here it's pretty crazy

    This wonderful man !!! I had my girl 85 lbs with me for 10 yrs. She passed this past July (i miss her every day). What he says is gospel, responsibility for these dogs is key. My Gertrude Hund (Gerttie) will be the love of my life until I am gone. I am working towards healing from loss and perhaps in a future situation I will be able to have another Rottie in my life. Smart, brave, adventurous, loving, funny dogs! Once you have a Rottie that is it! Kudos to you sir for you wise advice.

    At 29 inches and 140 pounds my rottie was not over weight, he was just a very large dog. And I trained him not to bump people or furniture, so if this man's dogs are not well behaved enough that's his fault, not the dogs' fault! Now that I think about it, if you watch, the whole time he has a dog on lead, the lead never goes slack, that is bad training. As for chewing and destruction of property, that's owner neglect. These dogs are bored out of their minds! Did my dog chew? Not after he lost his baby teeth. When adult dogs chew, it's a reflection on the bad leadership of the owner. Rotties do need a strong human leader and they need something to do to stay out of trouble. But having to keep the lead tight all the time and having to hold on to the wall all the time is ridiculous! It's neglect and bad training by this so called expert! I ❤ rotties!

      True, but we have to realise he has multiple dogs and he's a senior citizen. I agree with what your saying but we have to realise that his lifestyle is different. He could treat them better especially giving them more attention.

    • @ivaeugen
      @ivaeugen Před 6 lety +8

      on the chewing, yes rottweilers are lazy, sleep allot, and can live in small spaces, but they are still working dogs and need some job to keep them happy => if you give them 2h activity daily they will no longer chew things.
      on kicking... they are heavy and really love to use that mass, and when they greet you especially if you are older is better to secure yourself
      also they have quite weak hips and when they get older they will start using everything around for support, in the beginning just small bumps but to the end they will push and kick really hard in everything around for support
      my rott just died 2 days ago, 13 years old, and in the last year she broke more things that in his entire life including puppy times

      @longbowshooter5291 Před 6 lety +30

      You're right about the leash not being slack. My female (my avatar) was always RIGHT at my hip, I would walk her off leash and she stayed right next to me - unless I told her "Free", then she was allowed to wander, and would come right back to heel when told "Heel".
      That saved me from being mugged one night.....
      I was walking her when two guys approached me, the one guy stopped about 8 feet in front of me and the other one was walking around me to get behind me - they were going to rush me from both sides. Josie (my female) looked at the guy walking around me and let loose a DEEP rumbling growl, one I had never heard her do before of after that, it was so deep you actually felt it. The guy stopped walking and came back and joined his friend in front of me. The guy who had stopped in front of me gave a phony laugh and said "Hey amigo, is your dog friendly?" I looked them in the eye and just said "She's trained".
      The whole time Josie was standing right next to me, fully erect, and staring at the both of them. She didn't bark at them, didn't growl again, didn't lunge at them, didn't move at all, just stood there with that Rottweiler "make my day" stance, totally off leash and I wasn't holding her collar to restrain her.
      They wished me a good evening and left.

    I used to watch pets professionally. My first dog to take care of was a humongous boy Rottie. The lady who owned him was a single mom and couldn't care for him right. He wasn't allowed in the houses because, like the man in the video said, they are big and knock stuff and chew up stuff. But I fell in love with his beauty and intelligence. She bought him from a farm and was bigger and more black and with longer hair than I ever saw a Rottie have. He was a full breed according to her as her brother gave her to him. He was so smart that I couldn't leave through the fence because he would sneak right out on me as I tried to leave. He learned really quickly to leave the treat decoy and stick to me as I left through the fence. Eventually, I would have to throw treats and run and climb over the fence to get out without him getting free. He learned really quickly to leave the treat decoy and stick to me as I left through the fence. One day he got out without his leash on! He was so strong I could hardly move him and struggled to get him back in the yard. Sad day when the assignment ended. I cried and cried. I have a gorgeous rescue Pit female now. She is so good and submissive! More like a teddy bare now at almost 8 years old. We rent and it is too hard to move into a new rental with bully dogs or I would get a Rottie. I need more exercise and he would make me climb more mountains!

    TBH this is the best video I've ever seen about Rottweilers. Because it explains exactly what living with Rottweilers is. Those dogs are indeed quite big and more people, like this man, need to understand that it's your job to take care and make sure your dog and the people are safe. I've been raised around Rottweilers and dobermans all my life, I never EVER had an issue with them, even with the Rottweilers we trained at the army. Dogs are like children, they need to be train, raise with a good education. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

    I had a darling of a Rottie, late 90s. He was such a lover, and quite calm. This was a dog that was afraid of my cockatoo...
    I left for a long weekend once with my brother coming over to feed, water and let out. He knew my brother. Bro called me one night, his voice shaking a bit. Apparently Baer sat, blocked the exit out of the kitchen. He would growl every time my bro tried to advance. I had bro get treats from the pantry and call him over til he managed to feed, trade places w the dog. He was never taught this. After that incident, we was again fine w my bro being there.
    How I miss that dog!💔💕

    I have had rotts for over 20 years. Always 2 at a time. In the early 90's, most of them were very aggressive, mostly due to "back yard breeders". This was because of immense popularity. Most of the large breeds suffered this GSD, Bouvs, Mastiffs, etc. Thank God responsible breeders managed to bring the best out of these breeds. But, unfortunately, it is happening again with the Argentine, Cane Corso et al.

  • @claudiahartshorn102

    With all due respect to this gentleman who obviously loves his Rotties, my husband and I have owned 6 Rotties over a period of 23 years, all of which were raised indoors in a family environment, and we have never had a single Rottie that engaged in some of the behaviors described here, i.e., knocking over and destroying furniture, walls, people, chewing pipes and wires, etc. Some of our Rotts were puppies when we brought them home, others were full grown adult rescues that came to us with some bad habits, both male and female and sometimes two at a time, and from day one we taught them what was expected of them when indoors. And, I might add, we have never used a rolled up paper, our hands or anything else as disciplinary or punishment tools. We presently have a 5 mo. old female Rottie pup who we got at 6 wks and she is a joy, very responsive to training and eager to please. And by the way, I’m 71 and my husband is 63. If you have the time and inclination to train your puppy properly and provide adequate exercise, you will undoubtedly have a well-adjusted, calm and happy member of the family.

      Eskimo Draws I can completely understand your feelings... however, I hope someday you are the owner of a big athletic affectionate Rotti, so you can enjoy the other side of the temperament of these dogs. My female is very territorial and dominant, so is not the type of dog that others can even get to like, but with me she is loving, obedient and attached.

      Don't blame the Rott, blame the owners. That is EXACTLY why I most of the time advise people NOT getting one after they had met mine, they require someone that knows how to train them and raise them. Training isn't hard, but it must be firm, fair, and, most importantly, consistent.
