If you’re in search of a doggo who will always have your back, I could be the breed for you! Sometimes I can be protective, but don’t worry – most of us aren’t scary or aggressive. Not to brag, but we Rottweilers are a complex breed. I can be serious, and I can also be tail-waggingly goofy. I might express this by lunging my 100-something pound body up onto the couch to snuggle in your lap! Above all else, I love spending quality time with my people and making them happy as hounds. If you raise me with kids, just keep an eye on us during playtime at first. We’ll be friends, but I might bump into them from time to time because of my herding instincts. I also do well with other dogs if I’m introduced to them properly. I just don’t like strangers on my territory! Socialization classes and obedience training as a pup help me become pawfectly behaved. I also need consistent training or I can become a little headstrong and territorial. When I’m young, you’ll find that training isn’t too difficult because I love working my tail off. Sometimes police and search-and-rescue teams enlist me to help them with their missions. What a treat! I’m really active and I love when people give me stuff to do – swimming, herding, running, I love it all! Of course, when I’m not being active, I like to kick back with my family and enjoy a good belly rub. As you can see, I like to work hard and play harder, and I’m pretty much down for anything as long as I have my loved ones by side!
