Is a Rottweiler for me?

Hi, I intend on getting a Rotte, but i wanna know if this is the dog for me. I need a dog that is very very loyal to me, and friendly around a select few people. A dog that will go on hikes with me, occassionally hunt large game with me, and is very clever and athletic. I would Love to hear any advice you may have for me. Thanks.

A Rotti is for anyone that has the time and patience to train them. I own 3 and they are very loyal. They will be very protective of you and your property. You do need to show them who is the BOSS! They will be friendly to a select few of people as long as you show them who is O.K. and who is not. They are powerfull so you need a strong hand to control them. If you willing to train and handle a strong dog then a Rotti is good for you. But please do research the breed before making your final decision, since they are strong minded. GOOD LUCK!!!!

P.S. They are very active and love to go on walks!!!! They can keep going for hours! I LOVE MY ROTTIS! I could go on for hours ....................

thanks a lot for the info!! :)

Hi,There is a female adult rottweiler at the Johnson City,Tenn animal shelter and her time is up on Thursday or Fiday. She looks full-blooded except for her tail at the end has a little white on it, but she looks like my big Pudgy who is a very big goofy dog and very smart.Ive trained my dog on a leash for 2 years so when he gets out the front door he goes straight to the truck. HE doesnt like tall people. He is good to most strangers,but he will guard. A rottie running loose in the woods during deer season isnt a good thing. He might go after someone and get shot.Their number is 423-926-8769
