How to Select a Rottweiler
Male dogs will be between 24 and 27 inches tall. Female dogs are slightly shorter, standing between 22 and 25 inches tall. Rottweilers are well proportioned. The length of the dog’s body is slightly longer than the height. The depth of the dog’s chest is roughly half of the animal’s overall frame. Rottweilers have a compact and strong appearance.http://www.bigskyrottrescue.org/info/display?PageID=1021
The Rottweiler’s temperament is what makes many people so fond of them, even while other people are fearful of them. Rottweilers are assured, calm, and confident. They are not quick to bond with just anyone that walks through the front door, but are fiercely loyal of their family and owners. Rottweilers make excellent companions and watchdogs. Rottweilers are known leaners, they like to lean on the legs of their people, or sit on their feet.
Rottweilers need space to run and exercise. They also need strong, assertive owners who know how to lead the dogs. Rottweilers love to be challenged and benefit from training. These dogs are well suited to advanced obedience training, agility courses and even Schutzhund training. They are excellent with children, and love being part of the family. They are not well suited to being left alone for long periods of time; rather, they much prefer to be with their families.

How to Care for a Rottweiler
VACCINES: Vaccines are an important part of your puppy's health. They will protect him/her against certain diseases. Some dog breeds are more susceptible to certain diseases. For instance the Rottweiler puppy can get Parvovirosis, Distemper and Crownvirus easier than other dogs. There are several vaccinations your puppy will need within its first 6 months. Have your vet advice you on these. After these shots, yearly booster shots are also recommended. http://www.affinity-petcare.com/ing/htm/perros/vaunacion_perros.asp?area=3
