Rottweiler

Rottweilers are large, muscular, and active dogs who are always on the lookout for what is going on around them.
Although it may take some time for them to warm up to strangers, they make loyal and rewarding family pets.
Rottweilers began as cattle dogs that drove herds to the great cattle markets of southern Germany, but over the last few decades,


they've evolved into one of the world's most popular defence dogs.

Rottweilers enjoy swimming, walking, and trotting, especially when accompanied by their owners.
The breed is muscular and athletic, and it should be able to exercise on a daily basis.
If there are jobs to be done, Rottweilers are quick to learn to cart and excel at herding, tracking, and obedience.
There is no limit to the number of canine activities that a Rottweiler can learn.
Excess weight is bad for any dog, and exercise can help your Rottweiler stay fit and healthy.
Boxer dogs are devoted, affectionate, energetic, and require a lot of attention. They're also intelligent, which means they can be obstinate.

They can, however, be very well-behaved with the proper training.  Boxers aren't particularly aggressive or vicious, despite their intimidating appearance.

They are good watchdogs because they are focused on their loved ones. A Boxer will alert you if something is wrong,

but because they enjoy being around people, they don't make the best guard dogs unless they've been trained to do so.
The Rottweiler should thrive on high-quality dog food, whether purchased commercially or prepared at home with your veterinarian's supervision and approval.

Any diet should be age-appropriate for the dog (puppy, adult, or senior).  Some dogs are prone to becoming overweight,
so keep an eye on your dog's calorie intake and weight level. Treats can be a valuable training aid, but giving too many can lead to obesity.
Discover which human foods are suitable for dogs and which are not.  If you have any concerns about your dog's weight or diet, consult with your veterinarian.
At all times, clean, fresh water should be available.

The Rottweiler has a straight,  straight, coarse, and medium-length, and it lies flat.
The undercoat is visible around the neck and thighs.
He should be brushed once a week and bathed on a regular basis.
He sheds only moderately for the majority of the year, but he sheds more profusely twice a year, usually in the spring and fall.
His teeth should be brushed on a weekly basis, and his nails should be trimmed.
A grinding tool, such as a Dremel, is especially useful for trimming the nails.
