Rotweiler: Breed specifications

Country of Origin:: Germany
Size:: 56 - 68 cm (22 - 26.75 inches).
Coat:: Short, thick, and coarse outer layer with a thick under layer. It must always be black with brown markings. Occasionally there are long-haired varieties or there may be a white chest marking, but these traits are considered undesirable.
Character:: This breed is brave, very loyal, obedient, protective, watchful, and strong. It will risk life and limb to defend its family.
Temperament:: If properly socialized, a Rotweiler makes a good playmate for children and gets along well with cats and other household animals. This is all contingent on whether the dog has had positive experiences with them when young, however.
Care:: When it is shedding, use a rubber glove to remove dead hairs. The ears must be kept clean, and the claws must be kept short.
Training:: A Rotweiler's dominant nature makes it necessary that its trainer is calm, consistent and fair.
Activity:: This dog needs plenty of exercise. Let it run in the open country or the woods, as it does not wish to wander far from its family. Rotweilers also love to swim or catch a ball.
