Exercising Your Rottweiler

A good exercise and play time routine will keep your rottweiler very happy and healthy. These dogs do require a good amount of exercise daily. The Rottweiler is a working dog breed so just lounging around all day at home doesn't cut it for them. They like to be useful and helpful. walking your rottweiler more than once a day is very beneficial to you and your dog. They need this attention and a strong relationship from you.

If you do not have a big yard for your dog, it's very important to walk them a couple of times a day even as they get older. This goes for many large dog breeds that require more exercise as they are prone to hip dysplasia and dog obesity. We have a Rottweiler that is 6 yrs. old and if she doesn't get her walk, she can get pretty frisky, more so than our other dogs.

Rottweiler's do have a tendency to put on weight if they are not exercised enough. If you are not an active person, it wouldn't be fair to get a Rottweiler. They are far from a couch potato and they crave the attention from their humans.

Rottie's

Rottweiler's originate from Germany and were used as herding dogs. The Rottweiler breed is pretty easy to train unlike many other dogs. They want to please and protect. They can be overprotective with their master so an innocent game of rough-housing may not be the best idea. They are very loyal and always there when you need them. They make a great companion. Rottweiler's come across as tough, which they are when need be but they have a very kind heart.

The Rottweiler has a very lean and muscular build. They mostly have a black coat with defined mahogany markings on their muzzle, legs and above their eyes. The average weight for a Rottweiler is up to 95lbs. and they can stand up to 27 inches.

Since finding good Rottweiler Breeders aren't always easy to find, make sure you meet the parents of your puppy first.
