I have had a couple Rottweilers in my life, starting when I was a child. They make wonderful companions and are very loyal. I have one now that is 7 and she does great with my kids. I feel that you can raise a dog with proper care, love and socialization they can make wonderful pets.
The Rottweiler is a very courageous dog breed that tends to be on the more serious side. They are very aware and mine is definitely a first responder. They are a bit territorial and that is exactly why beginning the socialization process at a young age is very important. You don't want them to be aggressive! Rottweilers are bigger dogs that need daily exercise, and I'm not just talking about walking around the house.
Their level of confidence shows in their behavior, looks and posture. They are a sturdy breed that's very muscular and stocky. They are easy to groom, especially if you have a Furminator. That thing works wonders on my Rottweilers undercoat. If you have one of these dogs, you don't have to worry about anyone messing with you. Most people, especially ones that don't have dogs, are very intimidated by the looks of this breed. That can definitely change once you get to know them, they are cuddly and affectionate little bears.
