As a retired K9 officer I owe my life to a Rottweiler. My partner took 2 bullets to protect me. I have his ashes. I also have the honor of having 1 of his sons living with me.
@@nicolenedelko I’m sure they are great dogs, but not for police work. 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 :)
What a responsible dog owner. He was a dog breeder that cared. Fenced his property efficiently. Ready to travel with dogs if necessary so not leaving them behind. No vacations. Dogs look healthy and happy, Everyone- he changed his life for the dogs, this is what many people don’t understand.
It's my whole family's aim. We lost our first rottie 3 years ago and now we're all working towards getting a big enough estate for 8-10 Rotties. Nothing makes you feel more at peace than taking Rotties out in open land and feeling safe because you know they have so much love for you.
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
My family has had three. Our last one took to my mother, and no one else could get close to her. He got mad at my dad for sleeping in the same bed with my mom. Hahahahaha
when I was a little kid, my best friend was the neighbor's rottweiler, his name was RayBan. My parents had no clue they were considered a "dangerous" breed and let me rough house with him. I have old pictures where I'm riding him like a pony. That dog was a saint.
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.
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.
He is hiding one secrete. The rottweiler is the most loving breed I have ever met. I have met many. They are the only dogs I have owned that want to be hugged! They seem to believe they are lap dogs also.
I used to have a stressless chair that i gamed in. now i have 1 armrest,no legrest,about 3 of 4 bolts missing,think i found 2 springs missing. some how i dont think this is made for a 100kg man and his 40 kg rotti to watch youtube in:/
This is so true! Ours was terrified by thunderstorms (and probably how she got lost in the first place perhaps, as we were told that she was found on the freeway during a storm… Or maybe that was the start of her fear of thunderstorms!). 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!
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.
Adam Riddle - hi Adam I saw your post what an amazing person you an your family are for taking on a Rottweiler with so may issue which were not it's fault.just like you an your family my mum an I had a female Rottweiler witch had 3 other owners before she was given to us when the 3owners went too south Australia she lived with us until the day she passed away aged 14 years an just like your beautiful Rottweiler our female Rottweiler have separation issues as well to the point she would jump pur 6 foot high fence just to find us at at the ladies House around the corner
This is one of best Rottweilers video I've seen on RUclips. This dogs simply reflects character of its owner. Balaced breeder receives great, balanced dog... Thanks for the video.
Michał Kolano I love this video as well! Check out my home Halloween video called Rottweiler save the day and the after saving mom also carving pumpkins/pumpkin war and more fun video!!
When I was 6years old living in south Africa in the 80s, I went to a friends house after school to play with lego. When it was time to go home I couldn't remember how to get home. I was lost. I was standing on the side of the road crying, when I turned around this massive thing was looking straight at me. He was black and majestic and confident looking. He was about 10 centimetres from my face looking right through me. It was a police dog on patrol with his partner. That was the day I fell in love with the breed. Anyway they helped me get home. To this day I still remember that god like stare that animal gave me. I'm now 44 living in Australia for the last 30years. Love this breed
THANK U SIR FOR THE FENCES KEEPING YOUR ROTTS SAFE FROM BEING ANTAGONIZED AND THEN BLAMED WHEN THEY BITE SOMEONE I WISH MORE APBT OWNERS DID THIS TO PREVENT NEWS BLAMING THE DOG
Donovan Hunt Rainbow Kittens Rottweilers are natural born monsters! They are raised to kill people and are very dangerous around children! They are not the dogs to be walking around! They are like owning a gun!
Dr. Robertson how many have you raised,trained or even known YOUR IGNORANCE IS ASTONISHING THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GREAT DOGS ,I've been a K-9 trainer in bite,drug,and bomb for 35yrs,they are my favorite breed,and great with kids I had six
Yes Rottweilers are known to jump high fences! They do this when they are left alone too long so they think they need to find their owners! They're excellent trackers! I have 2 beautiful Rottweiler a male and female! Check out my home Halloween video called Rottweiler save the day and the after saving mom also carving pumpkins/ pumpkin war and more!!
my Rottie is a inside dog and never has he destroy anything other than his own toys,The dog is only destructive due to lack of mental stimulation and physical activities.
LIFE OF KODA same here, my Rottwiler never did anything wrong, she is 6 years old fully trained, I have coffee tables with bunch stuff on it, tv and everything else, zero problems !
Exactly what I was thinking, if you exercise your Rottweiler enough and give them toys to chew. They will not "destroy" anything. They have lot of energy..just let them exercise. & Ofcours they have their days when they chew anyways but it will be rare.
@@SomeOne_1409 I have a rottie. dogs chew, period. there's nothing you can do to stop it, its what they do for stimulation. they are very curious animals. chewing anything but their own toys is destructive. 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.
@@JonesiumDesigns a tired rotti dont chew anything, but good luck having a tired rotti 24/7:P totally agree.Im around my 3year old most of the day and it happens now and then."just give them toys"toys are fun the 30min they are "new" if you are there playing with them or its 10 min of mayhem, then those smelly shoe soles you forgot to put away is doomed:P my dog likes to sit on the 2 floor bedroom and overlook the streets, and when she had enough she will look for you or toys/shoes. i got cute bite marks in everything made of wood from the puppy year,its like you say they are very curious:P i got it to work alittle with a long walk and set up smell game with 300 tiny pieces of threats around the house before i left for work,but even then she will be done resting and ready to go when i get home. Do as this guy remove items that you dont want knocked over or destroyed. i will bolt my tv at some point,watching dog movies isent a good idea.If anoyne wants to get a rotti and is reading this: Be wary of the silence of the pup!xD
Yep Rotties will chew. Some.dogs are just wired that way. I've had 4 rotts in my life time and I ha e 2 now. 1 is a chewer a d 1 is not. My female is the chewer. It's just how she is. I e tried lots if things but if she wa ts to chew it she will. Luckily though she's ever chewed furniture or anything like that. Nust her beds a f blankets. It is what it is..
I had a rottweiler and knew a few neighbors who had one or two. And for such strong and protective dogs, they're incredibly cheeky, playful and affectionate. Our rottweiler still wanted to climb on our laps even though she was way, way too big for them.
they are the best dogs. i've had a german shepard and a rottweiler and lived with a few smaller breeds like chihauhuas, 2 different types of terrier, and a pitbull but the rottweiler is by far the best breed i've ever had. shes made a great guard dog and i've used her as a therapy dog, they're the best of both worlds because they have a magic switch in their brain that allows them to go from "foaming at the mouth berserker" to "loving goofball" at the drop of a hat to fit either situation.
Thank You Brother. My Wife & I got a Rottweiler when we purchased our first Home, He came Home with us when we moved in, He was an 8 week old baby. Five years Later, our “Angel” , our “Rottweiler “, Woke Us Up and Saved Our Lives from a Devastating House 🔥 Fire..! Thank You Jesus, and Thank You Lord For Giving Me and My Wife an Awesome Dog of Protection, A Rottweiler..!!! A Dog that dates back to the Roman Empire, I can Imagine that Jesus patted the top of head of the Loyal Rottweiler..! That’s My Story. God Bless You My Brother and Thank You for your Video, Your Friend, Rodger
Really loved the emphasis on the owner adapting to the needs of the dog. Some owners are careless and that leads to the breed's reputation but really it's all about the owner. Good vid.
I had a Rottweiler as a kid, one of the smartest dogs Ive evet had. His name Brutus. To this day I can't figure out how he'd get on the roof of the house but he'd get stuck there & me and my grandpa would have to carefully carry his big ass down with a ladder like a baby. RIP Brutus. You were truely one of a kind.
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.
I adopted a Rottweiler 6 months ago. She's just turned 1yrs old and is named Ellie. I've always wanted one and so glad I got her. She's amazingly loyal, friendly, huge personality. Being a shelter dog she just getting used to other dogs but she's getting there. I don't think I'll ever get another breed.
Any tips on raising one my dad wants a guard dog to accompany him when collecting rent. I'm also gonna take him out to run early morning and when I'm going to exercise outside before I go to the gym.
I grew up with two rottweilers, their athleticism is surprising. We had a male named Butkus who was like a 90-pound cat. He was so agile and fast, it was a sight to see.
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 That's selective breeding for you, sadly bulldogs/pugs/GSDs are already being affected and killed pretty much everyday by it. Very sad indeed... ):
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.
What a wonderful dog owner you are. I love Rottweilers, they are beautiful, affectionate and fun. I have owned 3 of them and enjoyed every minute. But I was in my 40s and had a big garden. Now I live in Manhattan, in an apartment with an adorable Boxer. I am a senior and my husband even more. I keep dreaming of a Rottweiler but I am aware that I cannot make it a reality. Your video message keeps me grounded and I thank you with sadness! They are such great dogs!
Thank you soooo much ! This was the most transparent interview I've seen! I've fell in love it with the breed the last few months. I'm doing all the research I can now. I'm hoping to purchase in the next 1-3 years
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 am so sorry for your lost! I have 2 beautiful Rottweiler a male and female! It is so bard to lose them when you love them so much and they play a big part in your life! Iv had 4 dogs iv put to sleep and 3 puppy that didn't make past 12 weeks. I don't think I am going to get any more after there two! I am getting up there in life in my age! They say getting a puppy or dog helps heal the heart! It is true for me and our family! I hope you get another dog or puppy!! My heart go all out for you!! Check out my home Halloween video called Rottweiler save the day and the after saving mom also carving pumpkins/ pumpkin war and more fun video! It my help cheer you up!!
it is stunning how easily they learn. When they look you in the face it's like looking at a person. the litter of pups I have right now will make you cry they are so beautiful
This is the most honest true interview I've seen on Dog Documentaries. He tells it like it is, consequences are with this breed, and he says the truth of what to expect. Great job
Oh my,I love your passion when you speak of your love for the Rottweiler. I am an owner of the breed, I am currently on my third Rottweiler his name is Bart. I love him with every fibre of my being.. Bless you and your dogs ❤️❤️ From Australia. Jan.
Best assessment ever! I have Rottweilers all my life as best friends and companion but just like someone wrote! It’s like having a bodyguard at your side! Exercise and socialización discipline and love and you’ll have the very best of the dog world !
- 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 Rottweiler but to sit here and try to tell another human being how they should walk because of YOUR dog doesn’t do the person no justice just stop with that bullshit
Thank you for this amazing video. You are a wonderful respectful breeder. I have two Cane Corso's and today i brought home my Rottweiler puppy. She is acclimateing well with my Corso's but I won't leave her unattended with them until she is older. I am already amazed at her intelligence. She knows sit and her name. My heart broke when I heard of people abandoning their dogs. I am 49 years old and have never abandoned my animals. They are a life long commitment. I am blessed to have wonderful breeders that are always ready to answer questions. I am honored they chose me to buy their puppies.
We've had Rottweilers for over 12 years. They're nothing short of the most lovable, intelligent, sensitive companions one could imagine. Family members who are loved by everybody they meet. God bless you man for the great video that stresses RESPONSIBILITY to keep your dog(s) safe, healthy, and loved. Rottweilers are angels sent directly from heaven to show us humans how to do life.
We rescued a Rottie. He was in such a state and still suffers ptsd. Lots of love and months later he is doing so well. My husband is used to dogs but for me dogs are a new experience. 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 🤗
Thank you for being a loving and responsible Rotty owner. I grew up with one and he was so loving and easy to take care of as long as you put in the time which came naturally for us.
glad you are an awesome, balanced canine owner, especially when you spoke about the breeding part, and i absolutely love the way you have made your van, i would like to do the same for mine and plus i would like to be an balanced responsible dog person just like you as i get old,i currently have a five year old Labrador and i will forever be a dog person like you.
Wow, those are really beautiful dogs! Not too big, and very well built. What an awesome breeding program. I really love the care this guy takes with his dogs. He knows what they are and what they are capable of. He knows how to train them. This is the perfect kind of owner for this kind of breed.
Dick Long - Not hardly ! My Bear is a loving, badass dog! He is 120 lbs of pure muscle! He is awesome, smart, loving, and loyal! Truly part of my family! Why u would even compare Shia lebulf or whatever his name is beyond me! This video was great!
Thanks for the video. I have 3 Rottweilers, all rescued. One of them was returned 5 different times before the age of months. I am his 6th and last owner. People obviously didn't know what they were getting when they thought they wanted one. Training and Rottie home prep is mandatory. They are truly a fantastic breed for those who are willing to put In the effort.
Thanks for this video, i have learned tons listening to this gentleman. This is what i consider a perfect dog owner, not only he takes care of the dog, but also the neighbours and setup the echo system around to set the dogs to success
Mr Bobby has been Saved by Jesus Rottweilers are my favorite breed.Nice documentary.Good idea to feed at night. I was a little surprised that he crated his dogs at night.Once my Rottweilers passed puppyhood, they NEVER got into my things or knocked things over.They lived in the house.Nice job, thanks!
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!!
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
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 loved watching this video It tells a lot from over 30 years experience with Rottweiler. Many thanks to that kind man who shared his experience. Thanks a lot for the movie makers.
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.
Nice to listen/watch a proper responsible dog owner for a change. Enjoyed the video and thanks for advice. Lovely Rottweilers, just right in weight to. Pls upload more videos on training and Rottweilers in general.
I had Rottweiler all my life in 50 now and I've had 3 in my own grown life. My grandkids love them. Ours are very humble our new puppy is AKC as all our others. Also have a cocker, and Chaweenie. He loves his family
You can hear the love he has for dogs. everything you said about Rottweilers is true, I've recently started documenting mine to disprove the stigma about them being agressive. In my opinion, dogs are a reflection of how you treat them.
absolutely, theres alot of judgement out therevdue to ignorance or common sence, and that can be more dangerous then any dog (In my opinion).i have a Dogo Argentino so i get it. Thank you for posting that.
we had a Rott growing up, he was surrounded by young kids & was a wonderful dog, no issues at all❤️ They R intimidating, to other people, till they know them. Nice to see Good owners like you, responsible, thank you.
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.
I solute you sir!! You are living my dream of owning multiple rotties at the same time! I commend you on your approach to owning the best breed known to mankind!
We adopted two adult Rotties a few months ago and can't say how much joy they have given to me and my husband. They are well trained and great house pets. Fun to watch when they play with each other. They are very intelligent and yes they have taken over our lives and we are better for it. You do have to be the leader of the pack, cause they do test how much they can get away with. We love them very much and are honored to be given this chance to have them in our lives. And yes was are in our 60s and live on a farm. They have the freedom to run and play only when we are with them. If your going to have a pet, you need to be committed to giving them the best life they can have. That means lots of exercise, love and care. And in turn your get the best of them in your life!
- From 15:34 'till the end of the video, says EVERYTHING about the Rottweiler and also the type of _real_ owner that should have one. A superb video, and thanks for making it.
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.
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
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.
We just got one( a puppy)about a year and a half ago. We were doing someone a favor by watching him. Long story short, I wish I wasn’t afraid Rottweilers years ago! I can’t even describe how much my family and I love this guy!
Another great informative video.. This man has a wealth of knowledge. I love this breed. Rotts are my fav dog breed. Thank you so much for making Rott videos.. I was wondering if you guys could make a vid showing the process of training a Rott. I want to buy one some day. But I really want to know how to train it properly. Thank you for this vid.. please do more on Rotts.
Hi Loren, you don't know me but we have a lot of mutual friends in our Rottweiler Circle. Thank you for being a great Rott person, following and working the breed responsibly, and so refreshing seeing a great Rottweiler owner on RUclips that isn't affiliated with mere backyard breeding. Look at his handsome boy - that is what a male Rott should look like. So many poorly bred, backyard breeding Rotts on RUclips - so refreshing to see this. Great interview. Tom Mullen
he said he got a wrought iron fence and those are expensive. he probably wanted something decorative rather than a wood or cyclone fencing or he could of just under estimated the strength of the cyclone fencing (it can be weak but you can just use extra supports to keep them from pulling the fence up).
I love this breed. They are big sweethearts. They are protective yes, but once they know who you are you have a friend for life! LOL! My friends have one and he's my baby!!!!!! I'm always glad to see him and he always remembers me. They're awesome!
i really wanted a Rottweiler but last year i was attacked by a large male as i worked at the time in a boarding kennel, he managed to escape his kennel (co worker hadnt locked it, i was new on shift) and owner forgot to mention how the dog was very territorial and food possessive. i got off VERY lucky with just 4 stitches, some cool scars and a permanent numb forearm.(very lucky considering i was bent over when he attacked) i love large dogs and i dont blame the dog that attacked me but its taking a long time to come right. i have no issue watching these dogs in this video tho :)
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.
Thank u!, funny enough i love large dogs and generally get on much better with them then the smaller breeds. my friend has a female rotti named roxi so im hoping to get over my fears by hanging with her. :)
Eskimo Draws You'll do great with a Rotti. You sound like the type of person who will fit with this breed... rational, unbiased, patient and you love large dogs. The last quality is definitely a prerequisite :) If and when you do get one, start with a female.
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.
Hello, I really enjoyed your video. I have a Rottweiler, his name is Blake, I just got him two weeks ago from the humane society, and he is about 7 years old. He is so awesome. He has a tail. He gets grumpy at night when its bed time, but is well behaved. Thanks for your video.
😍😍😍I own a 7 year old male rotti and He is my big snuggle baby ,but he is an amazing well behaved guard next to me .Sometimes people make jokes ,because I have a tiny figure and next to me a huge rottweiler ,so who goes with who for a walk 😂😂
I weigh 135 pounds and have a rotti coming at the end of the month. I'm afraid with my petite size is this dog a dog I can be able to control or will he be dragging me and taking me for a walk up and down the street or should I reconsider a different type of dog?
Mai MaiMai The most important thing is control and learning .Then normally nothing can go wrong , except you receive an already problem dog .Sorry for the late answer :)
I like what you said about the fence. My rottweiler is out when I'm not at home. He has got a yard 4 x 4 m, insulated house and shadow. I feed him there so for him it is a good place to be. When I'm home we are together. It's a big job preventing him from from getting injured! He doesn't know fear! What a great life we have. :-)
I’m glad you put this up. I was looking into a Rottweiler and he brought up some key points I wouldn’t be able to accommodate for that kind of dog. Thanks for posting informative videos ♥️
You are an incredible dog owner and I enjoyed this video immensely. I currently own my third rottie. I have owned pitties, akitas, shepherds, and muts. Rottweiler by far is my favorite

This one on Rottweiler's was GREAT! Keep up the Great Work!
Hell yeah you do! We appreciate it.
As a retired K9 officer I owe my life to a Rottweiler. My partner took 2 bullets to protect me. I have his ashes. I also have the honor of having 1 of his sons living with me.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 what a brave dog. So honourablen
Dude and I thought bulldogs were the best
@@nicolenedelko I’m sure they are great dogs, but not for police work.
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 :)
🙏🏼 Sad story, but a beautiful way to carry on that memory and love.
What a responsible dog owner.
He was a dog breeder that cared.
Fenced his property efficiently.
Ready to travel with dogs if necessary so not leaving them behind.
No vacations.
Dogs look healthy and happy,
Everyone- he changed his life for the dogs, this is what many people don’t understand.
It's a way of life
people should not be allowed to have dogs if they are not going to devote the time to be with them.
I want to grow old like this man, stable, content, living with his dogs!
Jay R. Bacalando same. I really like him.

It's my whole family's aim. We lost our first rottie 3 years ago and now we're all working towards getting a big enough estate for 8-10 Rotties. Nothing makes you feel more at peace than taking Rotties out in open land and feeling safe because you know they have so much love for you.
Living with a Rottweiler, is like having a bodyguard in your house.
Ya I have a Rottweiler and their protective and very nice to people there owners and there owners friends it’s amazing 🙃😉
You can't know that they will protect you or the house for sure if they are not trained.
@@nils6569 yeah, but you get the most out of a trained one. But they do have a natural instinct to protect you are right.
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
My family has had three. Our last one took to my mother, and no one else could get close to her. He got mad at my dad for sleeping in the same bed with my mom. Hahahahaha
when I was a little kid, my best friend was the neighbor's rottweiler, his name was RayBan. My parents had no clue they were considered a "dangerous" breed and let me rough house with him. I have old pictures where I'm riding him like a pony. That dog was a saint.
Julie B When I was little I did this with my rottie 😂
Hattie Pettit I did it with my German Shepard when I was little
I used to do that with my apbt
It's really dangerous for the dog to ride them tho.. But we don't understand that as kids
Juliana Bastidas C I had a dog named bob that literally grew up with me since I was a baby
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.
That man must have the safest house in America
FULLY AGREE FRIEND !!

I have 3 rottweilers. I dont lock my doors.
John Galt if they drop cocain with speed it knocks them out just saying man
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.
My favorite breed. The majestic Rottweiler.
my favorite too
same
Nanz Abas I have one
I
Nanz Abas i have one and a dobermen
He is hiding one secrete. The rottweiler is the most loving breed I have ever met. I have met many. They are the only dogs I have owned that want to be hugged! They seem to believe they are lap dogs also.
I swear it seems they dont realize how big they are...at least then any way, or dont care 😂
I used to have a stressless chair that i gamed in. now i have 1 armrest,no legrest,about 3 of 4 bolts missing,think i found 2 springs missing. some how i dont think this is made for a 100kg man and his 40 kg rotti to watch youtube in:/
Nothing is better than a large breed that thinks they are a lap dog.
Mine jumped on my chest and laid beside me. Such sweet and adorable dogs. I thought my ribcage collapsed. Hahaha
This is so true! Ours was terrified by thunderstorms (and probably how she got lost in the first place perhaps, as we were told that she was found on the freeway during a storm… Or maybe that was the start of her fear of thunderstorms!). 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!
Wonderfully honest. Responsible owners is definitely the key!
loogiemistress in any breed should have responsible owners Rottweilers is an exceptionally smart breed they require more attention just like a child!
responsible owner, cuts off the tail of a puppy
54jb3r7 aren't there certain dogs with very short tails?
yes! i totally agree
(( saying that to original post, my rottie pup's tail was banded >:C
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.
Adam Riddle - hi Adam I saw your post what an amazing person you an your family are for taking on a Rottweiler with so may issue which were not it's fault.just like you an your family my mum an I had a female Rottweiler witch had 3 other owners before she was given to us when the 3owners went too south Australia she lived with us until the day she passed away aged 14 years an just like your beautiful Rottweiler our female Rottweiler have separation issues as well to the point she would jump pur 6 foot high fence just to find us at at the ladies House around the corner
I also am taking a Rottie. Either to foster or adopt. No idea on history or ANYTHING.
How's he doing now? Has his fear subsided a bit? My Dachshund is the same way.
This is one of best Rottweilers video I've seen on RUclips. This dogs simply reflects character of its owner. Balaced breeder receives great, balanced dog... Thanks for the video.
Jeff Georgalas just stfu stop sitting behind your screen and get a life... Most people are here for informational reason
Michał Kolano I love this video as well! Check out my home Halloween video called Rottweiler save the day and the after saving mom also carving pumpkins/pumpkin war and more fun video!!
the dogs behaviour isnt always influenced by their owner, genetics and emvironment play a big role
Michał Kolano, my Rottweiler is exactly the same way. I think a lot of dogs are that way if you spend a ton of time with them.

When I was 6years old living in south Africa in the 80s, I went to a friends house after school to play with lego. When it was time to go home I couldn't remember how to get home. I was lost. I was standing on the side of the road crying, when I turned around this massive thing was looking straight at me. He was black and majestic and confident looking. He was about 10 centimetres from my face looking right through me. It was a police dog on patrol with his partner. That was the day I fell in love with the breed. Anyway they helped me get home. To this day I still remember that god like stare that animal gave me. I'm now 44 living in Australia for the last 30years. Love this breed
THANK U SIR FOR THE FENCES KEEPING YOUR ROTTS SAFE FROM BEING ANTAGONIZED AND THEN BLAMED WHEN THEY BITE SOMEONE I WISH MORE APBT OWNERS DID THIS TO PREVENT NEWS BLAMING THE DOG
Donovan Hunt Rainbow Kittens Rottweilers are natural born monsters! They are raised to kill people and are very dangerous around children! They are not the dogs to be walking around! They are like owning a gun!
Fuc You you troll like a 10-year-old. 2/10
Dr. Robertson You clearly don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
Dr. Robertson how many have you raised,trained or even known YOUR IGNORANCE IS ASTONISHING THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GREAT DOGS ,I've been a K-9 trainer in bite,drug,and bomb for 35yrs,they are my favorite breed,and great with kids I had six
Yes Rottweilers are known to jump high fences! They do this when they are left alone too long so they think they need to find their owners! They're excellent trackers! I have 2 beautiful Rottweiler a male and female! Check out my home Halloween video called Rottweiler save the day and the after saving mom also carving pumpkins/ pumpkin war and more!!
my Rottie is a inside dog and never has he destroy anything other than his own toys,The dog is only destructive due to lack of mental stimulation and physical activities.
LIFE OF KODA same here, my Rottwiler never did anything wrong, she is 6 years old fully trained, I have coffee tables with bunch stuff on it, tv and everything else, zero problems !
Exactly what I was thinking, if you exercise your Rottweiler enough and give them toys to chew. They will not "destroy" anything.
They have lot of energy..just let them exercise. & Ofcours they have their days when they chew anyways but it will be rare.
@@SomeOne_1409 I have a rottie. dogs chew, period. there's nothing you can do to stop it, its what they do for stimulation. they are very curious animals. chewing anything but their own toys is destructive. 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.
@@JonesiumDesigns a tired rotti dont chew anything, but good luck having a tired rotti 24/7:P totally agree.Im around my 3year old most of the day and it happens now and then."just give them toys"toys are fun the 30min they are "new" if you are there playing with them or its 10 min of mayhem, then those smelly shoe
soles you forgot to put away is doomed:P my dog likes to sit on the 2 floor bedroom and overlook the streets, and when she had enough she will look for you or toys/shoes. i got cute bite marks in everything made of wood from the puppy year,its like you say they are very curious:P i got it to work alittle with a long walk and set up smell game with 300 tiny pieces of threats around the house before i left for work,but even then she will be done resting and ready to go when i get home. Do as this guy remove items that you dont want knocked over or destroyed. i will bolt my tv at some point,watching dog movies isent a good idea.If anoyne wants to get a rotti and is reading this: Be wary of the silence of the pup!xD
Yep Rotties will chew. Some.dogs are just wired that way. I've had 4 rotts in my life time and I ha e 2 now. 1 is a chewer a d 1 is not. My female is the chewer. It's just how she is. I e tried lots if things but if she wa ts to chew it she will. Luckily though she's ever chewed furniture or anything like that. Nust her beds a f blankets. It is what it is..
I had a rottweiler and knew a few neighbors who had one or two. And for such strong and protective dogs, they're incredibly cheeky, playful and affectionate. Our rottweiler still wanted to climb on our laps even though she was way, way too big for them.
Reminds me of my parents' Labradors - far too big to sit on your knee but no idea they are! ❤️🐶❤️🐕❤️
Yeah bro I can’t sit down at all around my aunts Rottweiler she literally thinks I’m a couch cushion.
Roths are great dogs. I'm a retired Marine and worked with a Rothweiller guarding a US Embassy.
Thanks to you (and the Rott) for your service.
I love a good *Rothweiler* ;P
they are the best dogs. i've had a german shepard and a rottweiler and lived with a few smaller breeds like chihauhuas, 2 different types of terrier, and a pitbull but the rottweiler is by far the best breed i've ever had. shes made a great guard dog and i've used her as a therapy dog, they're the best of both worlds because they have a magic switch in their brain that allows them to go from "foaming at the mouth berserker" to "loving goofball" at the drop of a hat to fit either situation.
Mine died recently of Cancer, was the best dog I ever had.
People have no idea how gentle and intelligent they are. Truly amazing dogs.
Nice material as usual. This man is really dedicated to his dogs.
Thank You Brother. My Wife & I got a Rottweiler when we purchased our first Home, He came Home with us when we moved in, He was an 8 week old baby.
Five years Later, our “Angel” , our “Rottweiler “, Woke Us Up and Saved Our Lives from a Devastating House 🔥 Fire..! Thank You Jesus, and Thank You Lord For Giving Me and My Wife an Awesome Dog of Protection, A Rottweiler..!!! A Dog that dates back to the Roman Empire, I can Imagine that Jesus patted the top of head of the Loyal Rottweiler..! That’s My Story.
God Bless You My Brother and Thank You for your Video, Your Friend, Rodger
Jesus is only GOD prophet and humanbeen
Really loved the emphasis on the owner adapting to the needs of the dog. Some owners are careless and that leads to the breed's reputation but really it's all about the owner. Good vid.
I know... 💗💗💗 My kind of people! 😊😊
I had a Rottweiler as a kid, one of the smartest dogs Ive evet had. His name Brutus. To this day I can't figure out how he'd get on the roof of the house but he'd get stuck there & me and my grandpa would have to carefully carry his big ass down with a ladder like a baby. RIP Brutus. You were truely one of a kind.
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.
man the breeding story broke my heart
It's why I stopped breeding too
Do you have any and where are you from
Lol
I adopted a Rottweiler 6 months ago. She's just turned 1yrs old and is named Ellie. I've always wanted one and so glad I got her. She's amazingly loyal, friendly, huge personality. Being a shelter dog she just getting used to other dogs but she's getting there. I don't think I'll ever get another breed.
She's also purebred and has her full tail intact which I much prefer. Gorgeous dog :)
Any tips on raising one my dad wants a guard dog to accompany him when collecting rent. I'm also gonna take him out to run early morning and when I'm going to exercise outside before I go to the gym.
Vin_90 are they easy to train?
I grew up with two rottweilers, their athleticism is surprising. We had a male named Butkus who was like a 90-pound cat. He was so agile and fast, it was a sight to see.
this guy is giving you the best information on owning a Rottweiler
I am 70 years old and have a Rottweiler puppy. She is the 5th one we've had. Love the breed. Best dogs ever!
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.
Matty23 Not to mention the smashed in faces some are getting
Weirdanimalboy That's selective breeding for you, sadly bulldogs/pugs/GSDs are already being affected and killed pretty much everyday by it. Very sad indeed... ):
Weirdanimalboy the face is determined by its lineage. European Rotts have more smashed in faces.
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.
Chandler Mealey and that is incorrect according to standard.
What a wonderful dog owner you are. I love Rottweilers, they are beautiful, affectionate and fun. I have owned 3 of them and enjoyed every minute. But I was in my 40s and had a big garden. Now I live in Manhattan, in an apartment with an adorable Boxer. I am a senior and my husband even more. I keep dreaming of a Rottweiler but I am aware that I cannot make it a reality. Your video message keeps me grounded and I thank you with sadness! They are such great dogs!
what a wonderful man with wonderful heart
I never knew what my life was missing until I had a Rotti. Gigantic freaking clowns of a dog.
Thank you soooo much ! This was the most transparent interview I've seen! I've fell in love it with the breed the last few months. I'm doing all the research I can now. I'm hoping to purchase in the next 1-3 years
I really love this owner he really does everything for the dogs and the other people around the dogs 🥺
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.
Kayla Abaza I am very sorry about your loss. Best wishes.
I am so sorry for your lost! I have 2 beautiful Rottweiler a male and female! It is so bard to lose them when you love them so much and they play a big part in your life!

Very sorry for your loss.... People dont realise how painful it is to lose a dog, especially rotties
wow that was long..
it is stunning how easily they learn. When they look you in the face it's like looking at a person. the litter of pups I have right now will make you cry they are so beautiful
This is the most honest true interview I've seen on Dog Documentaries. He tells it like it is, consequences are with this breed, and he says the truth of what to expect. Great job
No
what an awesome responsible dog owner, this world needs more people like this gentlemen. All the best.
Oh my,I love your passion when you speak of your love for the Rottweiler. I am an owner of the breed, I am currently on my third Rottweiler his name is Bart. I love him with every fibre of my being.. Bless you and your dogs ❤️❤️ From Australia. Jan.
Best assessment ever! I have Rottweilers all my life as best friends and companion but just like someone wrote! It’s like having a bodyguard at your side! Exercise and socialización discipline and love and you’ll have the very best of the dog world !
- 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.
So
I have a Rottweiler but to sit here and try to tell another human being how they should walk because of YOUR dog doesn’t do the person no justice just stop with that bullshit
Thank you for this amazing video. You are a wonderful respectful breeder. I have two Cane Corso's and today i brought home my Rottweiler puppy. She is acclimateing well with my Corso's but I won't leave her unattended with them until she is older. I am already amazed at her intelligence. She knows sit and her name.
My heart broke when I heard of people abandoning their dogs. I am 49 years old and have never abandoned my animals. They are a life long commitment. I am blessed to have wonderful breeders that are always ready to answer questions. I am honored they chose me to buy their puppies.
Thank you for responsible dog ownership
Every thing you’ve done I wish normal dog owners would do
You really love your dogs thank you
We've had Rottweilers for over 12 years. They're nothing short of the most lovable, intelligent, sensitive companions one could imagine. Family members who are loved by everybody they meet. God bless you man for the great video that stresses RESPONSIBILITY to keep your dog(s) safe, healthy, and loved. Rottweilers are angels sent directly from heaven to show us humans how to do life.
We rescued a Rottie. He was in such a state and still suffers ptsd. Lots of love and months later he is doing so well. My husband is used to dogs but for me dogs are a new experience. 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 🤗
Thank you for being a loving and responsible Rotty owner. I grew up with one and he was so loving and easy to take care of as long as you put in the time which came naturally for us.
glad you are an awesome, balanced canine owner, especially when you spoke about the breeding part, and i absolutely love the way you have made your van, i would like to do the same for mine and plus i would like to be an balanced responsible dog person just like you as i get old,i currently have a five year old Labrador and i will forever be a dog person like you.
Wow, those are really beautiful dogs! Not too big, and very well built. What an awesome breeding program.
I really love the care this guy takes with his dogs. He knows what they are and what they are capable of. He knows how to train them. This is the perfect kind of owner for this kind of breed.
I've wanted this video for sooooo long. I'm so happy 💕
LostInABook ikr
LostInABook I see you like Dylan obrien a lot

Shia LaBeouf is cuter
Dick Long - Not hardly ! My Bear is a loving, badass dog! He is 120 lbs of pure muscle! He is awesome, smart, loving, and loyal! Truly part of my family! Why u would even compare Shia lebulf or whatever his name is beyond me! This video was great!
Thanks for the video. I have 3 Rottweilers, all rescued. One of them was returned 5 different times before the age of months. I am his 6th and last owner. People obviously didn't know what they were getting when they thought they wanted one. Training and Rottie home prep is mandatory. They are truly a fantastic breed for those who are willing to put In the effort.
I wish everyone was as responsible when it comes to owning a large dog! Thanks for sharing the video and insights.
Thanks for this video, i have learned tons listening to this gentleman. This is what i consider a perfect dog owner, not only he takes care of the dog, but also the neighbours and setup the echo system around to set the dogs to success
sponsored advertising we getting big time now💪💪
Mr Bobby has been Saved by Jesus he deserve it bro...does amazing work
Mr Bobby has been Saved by Jesus Rottweilers are my favorite breed.Nice documentary.Good idea to feed at night. I was a little surprised that he crated his dogs at night.Once my Rottweilers passed puppyhood, they NEVER got into my things or knocked things over.They lived in the house.Nice job, thanks!
I suggest you take a class in proper English. Then try again when you submit something to RUclips.
If you had a brain in your head you'd learn how to punctuate you fucking idiot.
Nick F don't hold back, speak your mind.
: p
I really enjoyed this man talking as he was honest and sincere and was a responsible dog owner. Really enjoyed his talk. Great work guys. 👏
As a Rot owner. He is absolutely correct!! Love my Rotty..
This is a fantastic information video on Rottweilers! What an amazing responsible owner, no sugar coating just facts and a passion for dogs
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!!
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
Did you adopted your dog?
Cesar sucks
Well put. Take responsibility for your pet and make them feel secure that you are in charge and calm with them. Well done.
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 loved watching this video
It tells a lot from over 30 years experience with Rottweiler.
Many thanks to that kind man who shared his experience.
Thanks a lot for the movie makers.
He sure knows a lot about Rottweiler, one of the best breed of dogs.
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.
Nice to listen/watch a proper responsible dog owner for a change. Enjoyed the video and thanks for advice. Lovely Rottweilers, just right in weight to. Pls upload more videos on training and Rottweilers in general.
I had Rottweiler all my life in 50 now and I've had 3 in my own grown life. My grandkids love them. Ours are very humble our new puppy is AKC as all our others. Also have a cocker, and Chaweenie. He loves his family
You can hear the love he has for dogs. everything you said about Rottweilers is true, I've recently started documenting mine to disprove the stigma about them being agressive. In my opinion, dogs are a reflection of how you treat them.
absolutely, theres alot of judgement out therevdue to ignorance or common sence, and that can be more dangerous then any dog (In my opinion).i have a Dogo Argentino so i get it. Thank you for posting that.
we had a Rott growing up, he was surrounded by young kids & was a wonderful dog, no issues at all❤️ They R intimidating, to other people, till they know them. Nice to see Good owners like you, responsible, thank you.
This one so far is one of my favorite documentaries of Rottweilers 😊
Great job Loren, Haven't seen you in about 30 years but you are still a great representitive of the breed. Thank you Rick Bost
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.
Rotties are just awesome! They have great personalities and they have the complete package. Very versatile dogs!
I solute you sir!! You are living my dream of owning multiple rotties at the same time! I commend you on your approach to owning the best breed known to mankind!
We adopted two adult Rotties a few months ago and can't say how much joy they have given to me and my husband. They are well trained and great house pets. Fun to watch when they play with each other. They are very intelligent and yes they have taken over our lives and we are better for it. You do have to be the leader of the pack, cause they do test how much they can get away with. We love them very much and are honored to be given this chance to have them in our lives.
And yes was are in our 60s and live on a farm. They have the freedom to run and play only when we are with them. If your going to have a pet, you need to be committed to giving them the best life they can have. That means lots of exercise, love and care.
And in turn your get the best of them in your life!
Just lost my first ever rotti today. She was 10.
When our family lost our first rotti we all cried for weeks
- From 15:34 'till the end of the video, says EVERYTHING about the Rottweiler and also the type of _real_ owner that should have one. A superb video, and thanks for making it.
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!
Suzi Saint James how dumb
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.
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
Suzi Saint James but he trained for showing.you want them pullin on lead for showing.keep them alert and confident
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.
What wonderful specimens of Rotweiler and hats off to the owners for the dedication and affection towards their companions. There’s is a
This guy is a new hero of mine. probably the best rot video ever.
grayking2012 yeah I agree best rottie video ever
Our Rottweiler Eva was the best behaved dog in our area. She was an incredible member of our family and one of the best friends I’ve ever had!
My biggest respects to this Man giving his whole Life to the Rottweilers i hope he is still healthy
We just got one( a puppy)about a year and a half ago. We were doing someone a favor by watching him. Long story short, I wish I wasn’t afraid Rottweilers years ago! I can’t even describe how much my family and I love this guy!
this was a good vid bro I luv the info this guy put out about the Rottweiler...👍👍💯
EmpireGait Bully um um um
Great!! I enjoyed this Rottweiler documentary.
EmpireGait Bully ii
They're love dogs. True and smart herding dogs. They can be trained to do about anything. I miss my rottie.
EmpireGait Bully I
I didn’t know fences cost that much 😮. I’m glad you and your family took precautions to protect them, yourselves, and the “community.” I love it
Another great informative video.. This man has a wealth of knowledge. I love this breed. Rotts are my fav dog breed. Thank you so much for making Rott videos.. I was wondering if you guys could make a vid showing the process of training a Rott. I want to buy one some day. But I really want to know how to train it properly. Thank you for this vid.. please do more on Rotts.
Hi Loren, you don't know me but we have a lot of mutual friends in our Rottweiler Circle. Thank you for being a great Rott person, following and working the breed responsibly, and so refreshing seeing a great Rottweiler owner on RUclips that isn't affiliated with mere backyard breeding. Look at his handsome boy - that is what a male Rott should look like. So many poorly bred, backyard breeding Rotts on RUclips - so refreshing to see this. Great interview. Tom Mullen
"We've spent over $20,000 in fence" DAMN DUDE
he said he got a wrought iron fence and those are expensive. he probably wanted something decorative rather than a wood or cyclone fencing or he could of just under estimated the strength of the cyclone fencing (it can be weak but you can just use extra supports to keep them from pulling the fence up).
Post Covid you can’t even get a wood fence under 20k
I love this breed. They are big sweethearts. They are protective yes, but once they know who you are you have a friend for life! LOL! My friends have one and he's my baby!!!!!! I'm always glad to see him and he always remembers me. They're awesome!
i really wanted a Rottweiler but last year i was attacked by a large male as i worked at the time in a boarding kennel, he managed to escape his kennel (co worker hadnt locked it, i was new on shift) and owner forgot to mention how the dog was very territorial and food possessive. i got off VERY lucky with just 4 stitches, some cool scars and a permanent numb forearm.(very lucky considering i was bent over when he attacked) i love large dogs and i dont blame the dog that attacked me but its taking a long time to come right. i have no issue watching these dogs in this video tho :)
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.
Thank u!, funny enough i love large dogs and generally get on much better with them then the smaller breeds. my friend has a female rotti named roxi so im hoping to get over my fears by hanging with her. :)
Eskimo Draws You'll do great with a Rotti. You sound like the type of person who will fit with this breed... rational, unbiased, patient and you love large dogs. The last quality is definitely a prerequisite :) If and when you do get one, start with a female.
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.
Come round mine. My rottie will attack you with licks on your face and won't leave your side.
This guy is a wonderful American. It is about knowledge and responsibility, and this man is a righteous preacher. FIVE STARS!
Still don't trust the pet food industry.
NotSoSilentBob Z I somewhat do
NotSoSilentBob Z mines on Raw meat
@Robbi Robson your dogs are not healthy. Feeding them mayonnaise lol.
@Robbi Robson your a fuck head
@Robbi Robson Is there no meat in the dog food?
Sve ste tačno rekli! Oni su divni i traže jakog i dominantnog vlasnika. Odličan video. Uživala sam. Pozdrav iz Srbije!
This owner really loves his dogs! damn thats pretty neat. Thank you for this video i learned a lot.
Hello, I really enjoyed your video. I have a Rottweiler, his name is Blake, I just got him two weeks ago from the humane society, and he is about 7 years old. He is so awesome. He has a tail. He gets grumpy at night when its bed time, but is well behaved. Thanks for your video.
😍😍😍I own a 7 year old male rotti and He is my big snuggle baby ,but he is an amazing well behaved guard next to me .Sometimes people make jokes ,because I have a tiny figure and next to me a huge rottweiler ,so who goes with who for a walk 😂😂
I weigh 135 pounds and have a rotti coming at the end of the month. I'm afraid with my petite size is this dog a dog I can be able to control or will he be dragging me and taking me for a walk up and down the street or should I reconsider a different type of dog?
Mai MaiMai The most important thing is control and learning .Then normally nothing can go wrong , except you receive an already problem dog .Sorry for the late answer :)
Have a 9 month old puppy. Super smart and loyal. Very kid friendly as well. A little hyper at times but it is what it is.
I have ms and my rottweiler is my therapy dog . it is so nice seeing a video that doesn't put them down
I thought I was only one with MS and had a rott as my service dog. Miss Bruiser, he was the best.
I like what you said about the fence. My rottweiler is out when I'm not at home. He has got a yard 4 x 4 m, insulated house and shadow. I feed him there so for him it is a good place to be. When I'm home we are together. It's a big job preventing him from from getting injured! He doesn't know fear! What a great life we have. :-)
I’m glad you put this up. I was looking into a Rottweiler and he brought up some key points I wouldn’t be able to accommodate for that kind of dog. Thanks for posting informative videos ♥️
You are an incredible dog owner and I enjoyed this video immensely. I currently own my third rottie. I have owned pitties, akitas, shepherds, and muts. Rottweiler by far is my favorite
