If you have an american breed rottweiler and you breed it with a german breed rottweiler does that still make it a pure bred dog?

Yeah, but it doesn't belong to either line.

Yes it is still purebred. From what I have been told (I own two rotties, one is 1 year he is "100% German" and the other is 3 he is "1/4 American, 3/4 German") there really is no difference between an American Rottie and a German Rottie other then the original place of birth in the dog's breed line. In the end, they all orginated in Germany.
When I compare my two rotties, my one that is mixed German and American, is much larger in size, his head is larger, and his markings are more distinct, whereas my other "100% German" is a lot more agile, muscular yet thin, a smaller head, and his face is much darker.
In the end I beleive that it does not matter, they are still 100% rottweiler, as you are not crossing breeds, only lines.
We love them all the same! They are great dogs!

Yes, this is still a pure bred rot. Crossing bloodlines is done widely by breeders wanting an outcross for their kennel, or to breed to another line to help the structure and type of the dog. There have been several German Shepherds that are 1/2 American Show and 1/2 West German Show that have championed in the AKC show ring.

Yes, it would still be a pure bred Rottweiler. You're crossing LINES not BREEDS. Crossing lines is a good way to improve the breed or to correct a problem by increasing the gene pool.
The result will be a Rottweiler that can be classified as "both German and American bloodlines". Many breeders will import German bred dogs to *** to their breeding stock.

Yes.
My belgian malinois, has American bloodlines, as well Netherlands bloodlines. Her dad is the son of Gatorland's Chico, and her mom was imported from the Netherlands, out of a very long line of great working dogs. Both sides of her pedigree have a lot of working awards. Mostly police, shutzhund and search and rescue type things.
Sorry had to brag a little.
Actually Elae, most foreign countries have MUCH better breeding standards than we do. For example in Germany a german shephered CAN'T be bred until it has passed a certain level of shutzhund, and passed genetic testing as well. There are a few more criteria they must meet before being bred as well. Also foreign bred dogs tend to be a little larger/more muscular than American bred dogs.

But of course. Outcrosssing is when you breed two completely unrelated dogs. Its a toss up what the offspring will look like though. You 'set' type by inbreeding. Too much inbreeding causes all types of problems such as structural, temperament problems and health problems such as heart related problems as well as many others. This becomes more prolific generation after generation. So, throwing in an outcross from time to time can be healthy for the future of the breeding program as long as the stud is a fine example of the breed, with no apparent bad genes in his bloodline.

Yes it would still be a pred-breed rotty just not pure german or american. I would not recommend breeding though unless you have advanced knowlege of this breed. I use to breed champion line rottys years ago. My family have been breeding them for over 25 years

I believe the onley real difference is in training not in how they are bred. So yes I beleive they would be still pure bred.

You get an Italian Rottweiler.
