The Rottweiler – Loving Powerhouse
The →large and compact Rottweiler is one of the classic German dog breeds. As a recognized service dog, the →strong four-legged friend supports police and fire departments in the field. Its →short, black coat with rust-colored markings resembles that of the smaller Pinscher. Although the "Rotti" is classified as one of the →dangerous dog breeds due to its physique and strength, it happily becomes a clingy lap dog during cuddle sessions with its owner.

Vigilance and protective instinct make this impressive dog a loyal buddy and protector of the family. When properly challenged, it becomes a great →family dog. Due to its affectionate and sensitive side, the Rottweiler seeks a true partnership and is very loyal. This muscular powerhouse is characterized by its willpower and willingness to perform. It quickly becomes enthusiastic about working and wants to please. With its empathetic nature, the furry friend can also be suitable as a therapy dog.
Training and Care
The eager-to-work and strong-willed dog requires an experienced hand at the end of the leash from →puppy age. With confident and consistent →training, the "Rotti" is guided onto the right path and becomes a obedient four-legged friend. The →socialization of the puppy during the first weeks of life shapes a strong-charactered dog. A well-bred Rottweiler is not too heavy and, with the right →training, is characterized by agility and endurance. Therefore, sufficient time and effort should be planned for the exercise of this muscular furry friend.
A lot of movement creates a big appetite. To provide strong, large dogs with sufficient proteins and nutrients, our →1-2-3-BARF concept is ideal: Feed your furry friend extra fresh, natural, and still uncomplicated with balanced and protein-rich meals.

Due to the pronounced protective instinct of the loyal Rottweiler, it is suitable as a reliable guard and watchdog for the family, home, and yard. When not guarding its loved ones, the four-legged friend wants to go on extensive walks daily to satisfy its need for movement. In a house with a fenced garden, the large, active "Rotti" feels particularly at home.
