In the 1996 movie The Fan, starring Robert De Niro, a Rottweiler was finally portrayed accurately. This fictional Rottweiler loved to run on the beach, play with kids and was a big softie. Although the movie wasn't about the Rottweiler, it is a good indication of the true nature of Rottweilers. Because of their strength, they are not recommended for the first time dog owner or for those of a timid disposition.

In the 1996 movie The Fan, starring Robert De Niro, a Rottweiler was finally portrayed accurately. This fictional Rottweiler loved to run on the beach, play with kids and was a big softie. Although the movie wasn't about the Rottweiler, it is a good indication of the true nature of Rottweilers. Because of their strength, they are not recommended for the first time dog owner or for those of a timid disposition.

With a dog so large and strong, even a terrified Rottweiler may accidentally hurt someone. On average, Rottweiler dogs weigh eighty pounds when full grown, with some males tipping the scales at over one hundred pounds.

Rottweiler dogs have the reputation of being vicious attack dogs. In the 1980's, the average American was more afraid of Rottweilers than of Pit Bulls. They can provoke attitudes of fear, anger and panic within strangers who know nothing about the Rottweiler's true nature.

They need a lot of daily exercise of at least one hour a day, preferably more. This can include walks, playing fetch, playing games or running about the yard. You need to make a commitment to taking care of a Rottweiler in the way you would have to care for a pony.

Keep in mind that Rottweiler dogs get very big. Everything about them is big. Their appetites, their size (they average more than eighty pounds when full grown), their exercise needs, their wastes and their capacity to love. They do not need much in the way of grooming, however, and do like to pay attention to every movement of their people, which makes them that much easier to train, since you already have their attention.

You need to be consistent and patient when training Rottweiler dogs. Start the training the moment you get one home - no matter how young the puppy is or how old the dog is. Old Rottweilers are just as capable of learning as eight week old puppies. The desire to please is so strong that they will try anything to get your approval. If you find yourself with a problem Rottweiler, get the help of a professional trainer. You both will need training.

ottweiler dogs are prone to some health conditions common for large dogs - a lot of which can be avoided with maintaining a good weight and getting regular exercise and annual check-ups. You can tell your Rottweiler is at a good weight in this way. Look down at your standing Rottweiler's back from above. There should be a noticeable waist, but no ribs should be showing. If you see an overstuffed sausage shape or a fuzzy pear shape, then your Rottweiler needs to go on a diet.

Most people are very ignorant on their Rottweiler information and will sooner shoot a Rottweiler running towards them than welcome them with open arms (which is what most Rottweilers expect). Rottweilers need to be on leads in the public at all times.
