The Rottweiler

All about Rottweiler:

My favorite breed, but coming to the point this breed is the oldest herding breeds in the world and likely dates back to the roman empire.

They used Rottweiler to herd and guard cattle as they traveled. Butchers later began using the herding dogs around their shop as guard dogs.

Rottweiler is also used as a police dog, you might have seen in the movies that most of the cops have rottweiler : )

Dobberman, Bloodhound, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, and many more are one of those breeds which are used in cops.

But still today Rottweiler breed is popular, common, and used for either working or companion dog.

The Temperament of Rottweilers

Here are the temperaments:

Yet, Training plays an important role and you must train your rottweilers at the early stage of when it’s a puppy.

Rottie needs to train and socialized at the early stage as I said because when the dog grows you’ll be having a regret that ‘Wish I would have trained him’.

If trained at an early age, good now your Rottie will be obedient to you and will follow your commands.

Rottie & Great Dane…

Well, the Weiler Dane would be a handsome, calm, energetic, powerful, calm, good-natured, loyal, smart, friendly, and loving breed.

Weiler Dane would need a spacious house so that they can play and have fun around. You can even take them to the backyard of your house!

The mixed-breed often inherits the muscle and mass from their Rottweiler parent and the height from parent Great Dane and this produces a huge hound.

But at the end of the day, it totally depends on the dog that which traits they inherit!

Training Part is important and you should not ignore this!!

As we have discussed the temperaments of both Rottie and Great Dane in the above sections and from that, we can draw that the Weiler Dane can be stubborn for a few times as we have seen their parents stubborn and headstrong a few of the times.

But they are stubborn only a few times so don’t hesitate enough, be calm and train your dog lovingly.

Like many dogs, Rottweiler can be aggressive but…

But this is not as people believe because studies show that Rottie’s match Lab, Huskies, and many others in a controlled test of aggression.

They would-be loyal, gentle, intelligent, and affectionate.

Socialization helps the dogs, learning to be part of society.

Health Problems in Rottweiler Great Dane Mix

Before displaying you the checklist of Health Problems, I just want to say that before buying this mixed breed make sure that the breeder should offer a health guarantee on puppies.

If not, 

Then I would suggest that look for other breeders who offer a health guarantee and usually reputed breeders do give a guarantee. 

And health guarantee says that the dog parents were tested before breeding.

If the parents were all in good condition then the puppy would be fit and fine.

Take your puppy from a reputed breeder.

So I hope you got what I was trying to say.

Here’s the list of health problems of the Weiler Dane:

These health problems are just drawn out by observing the health problems of their parents.

Hip and Elbow Dysplasia is commonly observed in large dogs.

It’s generic but environmental factors do play the role as well. That’s the reason I told you in the above paragraphs that parents should be tested before breeding.

Make sure that your puppy does not overeat as it is linked with bloating, which can be dangerous.

Wobbler’s Syndrome – Cervical Vertebral Instability, this disease is also common and most of the larger dogs prone to this disorder.

Grooming

Their Grooming is pretty minimal but they only need a brush now and then.

Basically, when the hairs of the dog shed, you’ll require a brush. And be prepared to brush them a few times a week. 

Give them a bath as needed and not too much that you dry out their skin!
