What is the difference between an english Rottweiller and a german Rottweiller?

Question

I have a german Rottweiller. So I know what they are. I'm just wondering if the english Rottweillers are as loveable and friendly as the german ones.

Answer 1

All Rottweilers originally came from Germany. Now that they have been bred in different countries, their personalities and looks are a bit different. The German dogs tend to be the most aggressive and most stubborn. Americans and the British have bred for sweeter, softer dogs. That's why Americans often import German Rotties when they want to compete in Schutzhund trials.

Answer 2

Do you mean American?

All rotties born in America are American Rottweilers. All German Rottweilers are born in Germany. If you did not import your rottie, you have an American Rottweiler. I got this info, when I started breeding Rotties, from the breed organization.

The difference between "a German" Rottweiler and "an American" Rottweiler is: The "German" is a shorter and stockier dog....The "American" is a longer legged, and thinner build (kinda like a gray hound)....both should have the same disposition. With Rotties, like pitbulls and dobies and other "aggressive" breeds, you need to make sure of the breeders...no back yard breeders...any good breeder will have at least a 3 generation pedigree on both dogs.

My American Rottie of German Bloodlines weighted 120lbs and was all muscle. My female (never mated her because I could not trace her bloodlines) weighted 85 lbs. She had the thinner build.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as an English Rottie...there are German Rotties and Roman Rotties. The difference is that a Roman Rottweiller has a little bit of a longer coat.

Answer 4

The difference is that German Rottweillers are bigger body wise then English rotts are. They are great dogs and the main problem with them is the poor vision at night. Hence why they bark at night until hey recognize ur voice

Answer 5

Having raised and rescued dogs my entire life, my personal opinion is that dogs are as friendly and loveable as they are trained to be. What a dog is "bred" to do is a load of crap in my opinion. A dog will do what it's trained to do. Though those instincts might always be hidden there somewhere, the training it receives will over power those instincts. I've seen children hurt worse by chihuahua's than pit bulls. And my baby sleeps soundly on the chest of my wolf-dog.

Answer 6

One drinks tea and the other goosesteps?

I've never heard of an Enlgish Rottweiller, it's a German breed.

Answer 7

It's more to doo with their size. But my Mommy's rottie (my best friend) is a german and he is the best I love him so much. He's the reason I even have a dog. As far as I'm concerned Rotties are sweet and smart and just a great dog to have.

Answer 8

One is a breed of animal and one is someone. If that may not obtrusive adequate i think of perchance those human beings ought to flow lower back to college and get themselves a number of thems books!

Answer 9

Yes very lovable, just bigger. German rots are technically not supposed to be over 85 pounds. american rots can be 100+
