20 Things All Rottweiler Owners Must Never Forget

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 871

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…

    What a good ’20 things’, I lost my best friend Zeus February 18th this year. As you state number 20 is a ‘heart breaker’ bringing tears – but hey, so what, we never forget the unconditional love a dog gives. Our tears are perhaps a way of showing the appreciation of that.

    This is my 7 1/2 month old rottie and I couldn’t imagine letting her go without being by her side she has helped my anxiety so much and helped me see that it is ok to live! I’m so blessed my fiance got her for me!

    I am a first time owner of a beautiful baby girl named Bella, I’ve had her since she was 2 months old, she’s now nearly 8 months old… these past few month have been testing (I also have 2 other puppies around the same age, different breeds) so it’s been hard work but I would definitely stick to my rotties… she’s such a soft “little” big thing. She honestly makes life worth living, as do the other two… I have never understood how people can bring them up to be nasty!? I am all for changing people’s opinions about this amazing breed. We often get stopped in the street by people asking about the breed, addressing the subject of them being difficult nasty dogs… my answer is do your research! But I do enjoy watching their faces as I tell them she’s the biggest cuddle monster. (Excuse my face on the pic, I was ill at the time!) LOL

    Colleen Crannell I did not think of it that way, thank you for suggesting that. I do know some ppl believe that they should pass on their own but there is no way we could have done that. When the time comes for my boy I know he will be surrounded by his family as well. I would never leave my child to pass on his own not could I my dog. Especially after all the love he has given to us, I love if we were ever in danger he would protect us however he could. Their lives are not long enough.

    Thank you. I just hope that my old girl keeps going for as long as humanly possible…. but on the other hand, being a dog she seems to have absolutely no idea that she is old….. And although she no longer backs up her brother when they have to defend us from an empty plastic bad blowing in the wind… she still does so; from the front of our house; instead of following him into the garden…..
    Plastic bags are apparently the most important thing we need protection from!!!:)

    We had a Rottie for a number of years. What a dog!! Know what her favorite toy was? A bowling ball. She would roll it, using her nose. Chase it when we rolled it. She would never return anything we threw, but she always brought the bowling ball back. She would even get her teeth in the finger holes and pick it up. The biggest plus — she could not chew it up.

    I had my girl Sadie, for 14 years, she was my daughter & the sister to my human girls. We were ALL home when she made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge just 2 months ago. We surrounded her, hugged on her, whispered & laughed with her, & cried our eyes out for 30 minutes after, not wanting to let her go…We protected her in life, & stayed with her until her body went cold…She was the best dog in the world & that was the very least we could do for her…
    I MISS MY GIRL!!!

    I had my babies for 15 years. When the time had arrived the vet came to my place and their home and I nursed their heads in my lap and quietly whispered in their ear. It was just like falling to sleep hearing my voice with all friends around.

    13 years. My daughters best friend. He would viciously protect her. And she laid acrossed his
    160 lb. body, whispering in his ear, as he took his last breath. It was heartbreaking.

    Everyone of those listed are so important. My rottie i lost last had a massive heart attack and she fell at my feet and stared me in the eyes as if saying thank you for saving me from the shelter and i love you. I gave her cpr but it was just to late. The one thing i learned from that is that she said goodbye and i felt the need to get another rottie out of the shelter and i did once i mourned her loss. I know she would have wanted me to do the same for another dog. Amazing dogs.
