Jeg er interessert — hva bør jeg vite?

Gjør deg klar for en Rottweiler.

Kraftig, sindig og stille selvsikker. En rottweiler trenger en eier som vet hva han eller hun driver med.

Alt under kommer fra denne rasens egne egenskaper i biblioteket vårt — hva den vil be deg om uke etter uke, inkludert det folk skulle ønske de visste på forhånd.

Rottweiler

Det denne hunden vil be deg om

Ærlig talt, uke etter uke.

  • Activity

    One to two hours, every day

    Many dogs of this type settle far better in the house when the walking is regular rather than occasional. Build any distance up slowly, especially with a young or older dog.

  • Training

    Learns quickly

    Quick learners pick up the habits you didn't mean to teach just as fast. Short, kind, reward-based sessions from day one.

  • Food

    A large daily amount

    Weigh meals rather than guessing, and count treats as food. My Dog can work out a starting portion once you know their weight.

  • Grooming

    Very little upkeep

    Easy-going coats still need nails, ears and teeth looking after — that part is the same for every dog.

  • Shedding

    Sheds moderately

    Lower-shedding breeds are sometimes easier for people with allergies, but no dog is completely allergy-free and reactions vary from person to person.

  • Dental

    Part of the weekly routine

    Brushing a few times a week, started early, saves a great deal of money and discomfort later on.

  • Weight

    Keep an eye as they mature

    You should be able to feel the ribs easily without pressing. Weight creeps on slowly — a monthly note in My Dog catches it early.

  • Mental stimulation

    Needs a job most days

    Boredom in this kind of dog usually shows up as noise, chewing or invented jobs. Scentwork, training and puzzles cost you ten minutes and buy hours of calm.

  • Home

    Happier with more space and daily outdoor time

    What matters most is the walking near your door and the hours you keep, not the number of rooms.

  • Time alone

    Manages a few hours

    There's no single maximum that fits every dog. Age, training and temperament all change the answer — and being alone is a skill you teach gradually.

  • Social life

    Takes a while to warm up

    Early, calm, positive introductions to people, dogs, traffic and handling shape this more than the breed does.

  • Health to read up on

    Typically lives 9–12 years

    Every breed has conditions that appear more often than average. Ask a breeder which tests they do and why, or ask a rescue what's known. Your vet is the right person for anything specific.

Pengene

Hva en Rottweiler pleier å koste

€1,600–€2,600

Per år, når hunden har slått seg til — mat, forsikring, rutinemessig veterinærbesøk og stell. Bevisst bredt: prisene varierer enormt fra land til land og by til by, og dette er ikke et tilbud.

Før du sier ja

Møt hunden mer enn én gang hvis du i det hele tatt kan, på en vanlig dag heller enn en spesiell. Spør hvordan den er klokken seks om morgenen og klokken ti om kvelden. Det ærlige svaret på det spørsmålet forteller deg mer enn noen rasebeskrivelse, denne inkludert.
