Rottweilers - Dog Books for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 - Early History Chapter 2 - Fascinating Features & Care Chapter 3 - Amazing Rottweiler facts Conclusion - A Family's best friend Author Bio Introduction “No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich.” ― Louis Sabin Rottweilers are powerful dogs from a long history of domestic dogs, also known as butchers dogs. Strong, courageous and intelligent, Rottweilers are versatile and faithful dogs. They have outstanding characteristics and are devoted to their family. Butchers dogs were used to herd livestock in Germany. Do you know why the name “butcher” was used? The carts were full of “butchered” meat and other products to sell. So, when the dogs pulled the carts they were called “butchers” dogs. Today, Rottweilers are found not only at home, but also in law enforcement. They form a part of search and rescue teams and help the blind as guide dogs. This ability extends to work as police dogs and guard dogs. The AKC standard defines Rottweilers as “calm and confident.” They also note a “self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” This statement helps us to understand the level of socialization required for a Rottweiler. It also helps us to learn how much training is needed for a friendlier, more outgoing pet. Rottweilers are excellent watchdogs and guardians. Their alert and protective nature can serve to protect both you and your family from strangers. However, like other dog breeds, this aspect of their personality may not appeal to you, if you are looking for a more guest friendly dog. This breed has a high energy level and strong territorial instincts, which are other aspects to consider. A slow lifestyle is not ideal, as they have a tendency to get a bit overweight. For this reason, they require daily exercise and space to expend that energy. Mental exercise is another very important factor to take into account. Despite their strong personality and characteristics, Rottweilers are highly recommended as guardians and protectors. With proper training and firm attention, Rottweilers make an excellent addition to the list of … man’s best friend!
The American Kennel Club’s Meet the Rottweiler, an official publication of the American Kennel Club (AKC), serves as go-to resource for new and experienced owners of this impressive working dog. With its characteristic black and mahogany coloration, the robust Rottweiler cuts a unique silhouette and has attracted thousands of admirers in the United States and around the world. Meet the Rottweiler begins with a discussion about the decision to own this powerful, large guard dog, and the responsibilities that accompany this decision. Equally important is the selection of the right breeder, a topic covered in a chapter on puppy selection that includes a list of questions to ask the breeder and the answers new owners are looking for. The book addresses the health of the Rottweiler and alerts new owners to potential problems in the breed. The chapter on health discusses the importance of finding the right veterinarian for this breed as well as how to embark on a preventive-healthcare regimen with your vet. New owners will profit from the chapters dedicated to selecting the right merchandise for a new puppy and how to make the home and yard safe for the active and agile Rottie puppy. House-training and obedience training are presented in individual chapters, and the AKC’s stance on positive training methods shines through as owners are enlightened to the power of praise and rewards. The book doesn’t stint on information about grooming, exercise, dental health, and feeding, all vital topics for the dog owner. The final chapter includes a dozen ways to get your Rottweiler active in dog sports and the community—from participating in AKC performance events like dog shows, obedience and agility trials to becoming certified as a therapy dog and visiting nursing homes and retirement homes with your well-trained Rottie. The chapters also offer advice on how to pursue the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and the Canine Good Citizen programs, both ideal for young dogs getting their start in organized dog events and therapy. The Resources section of the book includes excellent recommendations for websites, periodicals, books, and programs that Rottweiler owners will find informative and helpful.
