is a german rottie....?

Question

part german shepard and part rottie?? just wondering!! :)

Answer 1

no...rotts are german dogs by heritage

Answer 2

No, they are usually purebred Rotts. It is a advertising phrase that use to mean the dog was either directly from Germany, or the offspring of two dogs directly from Germany. The assumption would be that the dogs parents had passed the German breeding standards, which, as Chetco said, are very rigorous.

American Rotts can and do pass these test on a regular basis, but NOT the dogs you can get from a backyard breeder. The standards are the same in both countries, and, as far as conformation is concerned, they are very similar. Temperament differences can be huge, though. Temperament and working ability is tested before a dog is considered "breeding quality" in Germany. These results are recorded and become part of the dogs name.(the V-rating)

Backyard breeders have now picked up the phrase, and use it just like 'champion lines'. I see it often in ads, and it kind of ticks me off.

If you are looking for a well bred Rott, and that phrase was used, ask for proof. It should be no more than two generations away from your puppy. Also remember, a quality male bred to a trashy female(or visa-versa) will not produce quality puppies. They will be fine(even great) as pets, but I would get a dog from a rescue first!

If you go to a breeder that has "American Bred" Rotts, look for working/obedience and conformation titles. But health clearances are most important!

Answer 3

No, the German Rottweiler is the same as an American Rottweiler.

The breed standards are the same in both countrie. However, German dogs of any breed must meet much higher standards to be able to be registered, so, often the German dog is of better quality, But a Rottie from an all Champion line, from a good breeder CAN be just as good.

Answer 4

no ....I live in australia and over here rottie are generally divided into 2 sorts german and american .. with the german one being a much heavier or solid body type and the american being slightly taller than the german but to most people they are just a rottie....

Answer 5

thier both is part of the same breed rotties have a little german in them from breeding dolberman and german you get rotties

Answer 6

German Rottie means He/ she is imported from German, or
Bred with imported parents. Most people who handle/ training dogs for works (Protection, Schutzhund,.....) prefer European dogs because they are better suit for working. If you see the ad saying German rotties, the ad are targeting for working dog people in general.

Answer 7

no.. a German Rottweiler is a Rottweiller with parents of Germany lines. They are different from American stock by size and temperament. Remember that the AKC and the UKC and the other associations have different terms on each breed.

Answer 8

I believe you are asking what a GermanShepard and Rottie mixed together would be called.
Please choose from the list:
Shepardwieller (my fav)
Rottpard
German Shepard / Rottwieller mix
Mutt

( I have a ShihTzu / Bulldog mix....you guessed it ...a Bull/ShihT...just kidding.)

Answer 9

a german rottie is a rottie that has a german bloodline, there is german rotts, and american rott blood lines, germans tend to be alittle bigger then their cousins

Answer 10

No. Rotts are originally from Germany I believe. Many people still import rotts from germany as European lines are much heavier boned and more aggressive.
