I agree with RoganBo. Most people that ask this question are referring to the fact that the overbreeding of the Rott here in America has produced a taller, lankier, less powerful appearing Rott than what still exists in Germany. In my experience with rescue leagues, most Rotts found around here are "American." It may not be an actual, correct term to apply to the dogs, but it is what most people ask me when they meet one of my fosters for the first time.
