The best breed of dog. Consistently ranks high in terms of intelligence, temperament and versatility. They're also super adorable.



Descended from Roman work dogs, rottweilers are an ancient breed. While they have a reputation of being aggressive, this trait comes from the loyalty they feel for their owners and their attentiveness. Most rottweilers, when properly socialized are loving pups that are known for their good humored nature.

I had a rottweiler. It was the best dog anyone could ever ask for. She ever only aimed to please. And so fucking smart. She knew how to open the door, just from watching us.

My 2nd male just turned six. Both of my boys have been dumb as rocks but you couldn't ask for better temperaments. Like with any dogs, the key is socialization when they are puppies. Get them used to other dogs, animals, kids, people and you'll set them up for success in any situation I'll never own another breed.

The downside to Rottie ownership is the negative stigma exists. It's almost impossible to get an apartment, renting a home becomes more difficult as a lot of home owners insurance will not cover the breed. So if your insurer ever asks, you have a mixed breed.

Definitely agree with that about the stigma. I used to have issues walking my rott, because people would walk to the other side of the street when they saw us coming. Someone once yelled at me, saying taking her for a walk was the same as walking down the street waving a loaded gun. A shame. Like you said though, I'll never own another breed. They're a perfect mix.

Amazing breed of dog and one of my absolute favorites. The first breed of dog my daughter ever interacted with as well, as her first pediatrician had an incredibly sweet rottie that she kept in the office. I have pics somewhere of my daughter in a diaper as a basically new born baby being cradled and cuddled by this beautiful female rottie, it was really special.

I love my sweet mutt to death and I have no regrets, but I rescued her because all the rotts in my area were just unbelievably expensive. I will say that rottweiler breeders seem to really wanna get rich off of breeding dogs. I'm just south of Seattle and pretty much ever rottie breeder in this area wants at least 2000, and I just can't swing that. I got a mortgage to pay and kids aren't cheap to feed.

EDIT:

Someone once yelled at me, saying taking her for a walk was the same as walking down the street waving a loaded gun.

Goddammit people are so fucking stupid......if you kept your cool with that, then you're a better man than me. I just hope that idiot didn't breed; the last thing we need are more weak minded, idiotic, bigoted cowards walking about, got plenty of them as is.

 

[triplestation]

i cross the fucken street when i see rotweillers

i ESPECIALLY cross the street when i see a pitbull

same goes for bears and hyenas

and alligators

when i see a siberian husky i cross the street only so i can cross back ecstatic with happiness

when a happy little husky pounces on you with that little face like it wants to play shit melts my goddamn heart

 

[triplestation]

i was near a pitbull the other day and the owner looked so miserable as everyone literally walked a 10 foot diameter around it

a beautiful jet black border collie with snow blue eyes also got near the pitbull and stood silent in 100% ears up alert mode while the pit barked at it

fuck that thing

 

[teezzy]

Rottweilers and German Shepherds are my favorite breeds. It's no coincidence that my best friend, Ruby, is a combination of the two. Loyal, intelligent, strong, and terrific for protecting your property.

Seriously though, she's the biggest softie, just wants belly rubs constantly. Wouldn't trade her for the world.

It was pretty dumb. I told him to fuck off. He threatened to call the cops if I walked down that street again.

What a fucking moron, if he called the cops over that the cops wouldn't have done shit. They would have told him to stop harassing you. Next time you encounter a moron like that, just encourage calling the police, it'll make them look like a jackass and they might learn something.

i have one rotweiller owner in my neighborhood that i can remember

owner walks it with a muzzle

i still fucking cross the street

Growing up my best friends sister had two Rottys and a Chihuahua. One of the Rottys was named Grim, the Chiuahua was named Reaper, and the other Rotty was named Tiny. Both Rottys were super nice. Reaper was a little asshole though.

 

[highrider]

Great dogs. Sadly much like the pit bull they appeal to to a lot of people because of the fact they could fairly easily tear a human apart. For that reason alone I would never own a breed like that. We can think we understand animals, but we really don’t.
I see so many single women with these and Presa Caneras, it’s like I want a gun I can pet.

 

[DogofWar]

My favorite breed of dog, my dream is to one day have a Rottweiler. Well in the not too distant future (I hope) we will move to a house of our own and then maybe...

 

[DESTROYA]

I want to be a Rottweiler so when people see me they feel like they want to cross the street.

Best dogs ever

im 90% sure this is the mentality of male pitbull/rotweiller owners

i bet women who own them feel like daenerys targaryen with her dragons

It's funny, I'm not a fan of pit bulls either, but I adore Rottweilers.

Pit Bulls are just kinda ugly

i can find a rottweiler adorable in the same way i find bears adorable even though they can literally slap someone's head off

pitbulls i rank on the same level as sharks, they have a very similar gaze

I have two pit bulls. Both are giant pussies. One has storm anxiety and is terrified of everything. The other one I inherited through marriage. The most violent thing he does is chew his butt. They’re good dogs but I think I’m gonna go with an English bulldog next.

this puma is also a big pussy (literally) but if homeboy walked that thing on the street I'd say nearby pedestrians would have all the right in the world to shit bricks

 

[Pejo]

Rotties are sweet. My ex had two of them, super nice dogs. She took the time to properly train them though, so the were docile, friendly and loyal. Hell of a bark though.

Reported to authorities for jaywalking.

Nope, I always get anxious when I'm passing someone with a rottweiler, a doberman or a pitbull/amstaff and it's not possible to cross the street. It's even worse when I walk my dog (even though he's friendly towards other dogs), I've made a 180 on several occasions to avoid potential negative reactions.

I would be surprised if more than half of the owners trained these dogs with professionals, the rest are ticking time bombs.

Is it weird I find sharks cute but these dogs do nothing for me?

youre a racist

you are scared for no reason

just walk your dog towards the pitbull and judge it afterwards if it kills your dog which it wont because theyre really the sweetest dogs ever

Horse shit. You can make most any breed mean or friendly depending on how you treat them as puppies. As far as "professionals" are concerned, socialization is key for any puppy. Put your puppy in front of other dogs, animals, kids and adults when they are young and they'll be comfortable in those situations as adults. Socialization will also help you determine their temperament and if you do have a problematic dog, you'll know which situation you can put the dog in to be successful going forward. For what it's worth, the meanest dogs I've ever been around was a Toy Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel.

I love this race, they are always so playfull.

The problem here is the size and the strength of the dog. Yes a lot of smaller dogs are very aggressive because they weren't raised properly or because they have bad current owners, but they're not as dangerous. Worst case scenario you just kick them to scare them away. Try doing that to a rottweiler or a pitbull.

We had a Rottweiler in the house once, was a bit too dominant to stick around my little brother at the time and we gave him away, he still remained within the family.

They are too big for my 'purposes', I travel a lot for work and in my spare time, a big and unwieldy dog has it's own set of problems in cars, planes and out&about, my Jack Russell is a much better fit.
We have a lot of Turks around here, every single one is scared of dogs, even that small Jack Russell Terrier, I still get people switching the side of the road once they see that little ray of sunshine. Funny af. People from the middle east usually don't care, even with bigger dogs, at least when they grew up in the countryside.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

They honestly look cool but I'd turn the fuck around If I ever saw one heading towards me... Same goes for pitbulls.

Facts. Best breed possible! They look so menacing, but are the most loving and loyal friend you can have.

#5 on the list of smartest breeds of dog.

They're beautiful creatures. A friend of line had one who was really sweet despite her huge size and intimidating appearance. She was awesome.

My aunt has a Lhasa Apso that once had a neigbor sent to the hospital because he bit her clock and he teared her skin and there was blood everywhere. That dog is one mean motherfucker and he looks like the neverending story creature (no one would ever think he was that violent by looking). On the other hand I met many docile pits and rotts over the years.

I own a Japanese Chin which is a close relative of the Peke and nothing like the big breeds (chillest dog ever, love her) but I also adore bigger breeds like German Shepherd and Boxers (coolest dogs ever, so fun to play with).

Pitbull owners is one way how I distinguish irrational pet owners to neither befriend nor associate with. If you want a Pitbull for a pet the rest of your life is clearly filled with bad decisions.

Rotties are definitely one of my favorite breeds. Big-assed perpetual toddlers.
