"My brown eyed girl...
A Rottweiler's eyes should be a warm, rich brown. In fact, brown is the only eye color accepted by the American Kennel Club.
Different colors suggest poor breeding and these dogs should only be purchased with great caution. The Rottweiler has a cool alert gaze with little expression.
The AKC also claims that Rottweilers should have short ears, which lie flat against their heads, otherwise the dogs are considered flawed.",
"Dog Stories.
Carl, the Rottweiler from the Good Dog Carl children's book series, is actually based on a real dog, named Carl, who is owned by the series' author, Alexander Day.
Carl weighs 107 lbs. He loves children and often visits hospitals to help cheer up patients. Carl also loves swimming and playing with his ball.",
"Late bloomers.
Rottweilers are not fully mature until they reach the age of 2, sometimes even 3 or 4.
Generally, females mature earlier and can reproduce after about 18 months. Males on the other hand usually take a bit longer.
Regardless of their maturity level, owners are not recommended to start breeding females until they reach at least 2, and males until 3 or 4.",
"Just a trim, please.
Rottweilers should have tails, but these are often clipped.
When originally bred, Rottweilers had normal tails, but since these often broke while the dogs were working and led to infections, owners began clipping the tails.
Now tails are generally removed for cosmetic reasons. Owners do it at birth by clipping the tail after the first joint.",
"Dog of War.
Rottweilers are descended from the Roman Cattle Dog.
Rottweilers date back to the Roman Empire. During this era, Roman Legions would travel with livestock to feed their troops. To herd and protect the cattle from thieves, Roman dogs were brought along, and proved exceptional at this task.
In the German town of Rottweil, merchants came to appreciate these dogs and eventually started to breed their own. Soon enough, the Rottweiler developed and remained a popular breed in the town until the 19th century when their population suffered a serious collapse.",
"Dog Years.
The typical lifespan for a Rottweiler is between 8 to 10 years; down from 9 to 11.
Since Rottweilers are so popular, puppy mills and unethical breeders are more commonplace, and have produced a poorer quality of dog. Now, Rottweilers have more health problems and live shorter lives.",
"The Omen.
Rottweilers became popular in 1976 after the release of the cult classic The Omen.
In the film, a Rottweiler protected the film's villain Damien and the dogs who played the part actually seemed evil. The crew had to employ several dogs since the dogs who played Damien's protector kept attacking owners (a habit very uncommon in this breed of dog). This lead to the belief that the dogs were somehow possessed and that the film set was cursed.",
"Attack Dogs!
Although loyal and loving, Rottweilers can become the ideal attack dog.
Rottweiler aggression is often associated with boredom and abuse. They should also be neutered/spayed to reduce these violent tendencies.",
"Running in Circles.
Rottweilers are intelligent, playful dogs, who need to see the people close to them happy. If bored, they can become troublesome.
They also need to have regular exercise, and any owner who cannot provide this is asking for trouble. But if well cared for Rotts can provide people with a great deal of love, exercise and affection.
Rottweilers themselves become almost overly excited at the first sign of fun.",
"Silent, but Deadly.
Rottweilers, especially the males, tend to be silent dogs. Female Rotts may bark excessively, but that is usually in defense of their pups.
Rotts remain silent even when threatened and are prepared to attack. This stoic disposition has lent itself to the rumour that Rotts are vicious and unpredictable."];
