The AKC Standard describes the Rottweiler as “a calm, confident, and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.”
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Rottweilers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Rottweiler owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Rottweiler owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Rottweiler Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

We just lost our 9 1/2 yr old Greta. She was the greatest dog and loved a great deal by our family. Miss her a great deal. She loved her boat and our car rides!

I’m curious, too. You have described the Rottweiler very well. My girl Casey fits into almost all the categories even though she’s only half Rottie.
Our previous dog, a mutt, was put down because of kidney disease at 11 and a half. I hated doing it, but it was a wonder he made it through the weekend.
They gave him a relaxant or something first. You could tell when it first kicked in because he gave a smile and a kiss like he was finally feeling better. He then passed out. The vet offered for us to stay for the final injection, but I couldn’t. For me, to see him on the floor was him already crusading the rainbow bridge.

I miss you very much Thor. It has been just over a month now that you have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. I find myself crying so much for your company. To much of everyday life reminds me of the times we had.
