Please don't go for it. It is profoundly obvious that you have no clue about Rottweilers, and you are completely ignorant about their true behavior. I would suggest you start off with a hermit crab.

[moz205]

This is NOT the breed for you. Don't get a Rottweiler, period. There are so many reasons just from your one posting that I couldn't even begin to tell you all the reasons but the number one is as Urika states, you have no clue as to this breed. Keep reading on here and you will find all the reasons for you NOT to get a Rottie or both you and your dog will end up in trouble.

PLEASE don't get a rottweiler. Yes, i admit i'm only 19 and i own one, but before i got a rottweiler, i did 2 YEARS of research and i still don't know everything! Deffinantly don't get a GSD either, these are agressive dogs also, go for something more like a.... lab! Your dogs going to live outside? That doesn't seem right. The dog is a member of the family and should be in the house and should not be left alone in the cold or in the hot. I'm not trying to say that rottweilers are agressive, but they can be if taught to be like that. I can already tell that you won't be able to give it the training needed.

No offence, but yes i agree, you should start off with a hermit crab. Or something, because aparently you know nothing about this loving breed, agressive? I think not. Only when someone in the family is threatened, your rottweiler should not be agressive.

Please don't get this breed!

If you truely do want to, start your research NOW.

No Ahmed. A Rottweiler is not the breed for you and neither is a GSD. Perhaps smaller different kind of animal would be the answer but not a dog of any breed. Before you even consider owning any animal learn and research exactly what owning that animal involves and what your responsibities are.

I am a new owner of a rotti pup. I did alot of research before I decided in getting him. They saw that first owners shouldn't get one as a first pet, but I think it depends on the individual, if you're willing to put in the time and effort that they need. They are really good dogs and very protective of their terriotory. You should do some research and decide if the rottweiler is right for you.

[moondog]

Listen to your friends. Without having experience training any dog, and not knowing the temperament of the dogs available to you in India, a Rottweiler or a GSD would be the wrong choice for you. Both breeds are strong minded working breeds and not the right choice for a person who has no experience with dogs of any kind.

Dogs require care and training. Before you get ANY dog, spend some time learning how to care for them and how to train them humanely. When you do choose a dog to bring home, make sure it's a dog that does not cause you concern about your ability to raise and train it and, just as importantly, make sure you choose a dog that you will accept as the loyal companion a well cared for dog will become.

my rott is a female and she hasnt got 1 bit of agreession in her i got a 6 month old baby who she love she is great with other dogs the thing you need 2 under stand. they need 2 be exercised a lot because they r a workin breed i no ppl who have got rotts who neva walk them anuff .so they will turn and end up destroying anithing in site there a loving dog the aggresion part is how the dogs brought up hope this will be of help 2 you rick

[bigdogweilerx2]

I don't think you should get any type of dog!Maybe a cat,because they can live outside.But no dog should live outside.If you want a dog, then get a statue of one.

[ahmedhanif007]

Hey guys u've really demoralised me a lot......... but i hav done a lot of research work both on rott n GSD....... my frnd owns a pair of GSD......... so i m quite used 2 dem....... n moreover here in india dogs generally live outside the house........ in backyards, on terrace.......... n i wud b making a proper shelter for the dog.........but still after gettinga lot of discouraging replies i'll go 4 GSD, i m prepared for it n will giv all my time to the dog..............n thnx 4 ur replies........

[Maxxx]

If you already have all these doubts, questions and misgivings in your mind, please, please, please don't get a rottweiler.

[kilasmamix3]

I REPEAT DON'T GET A ROTTWEILER. Don't even get a GSD. I don't even think a dog... No dog should have to live outside... ): Sorry, yes i agree get a cat. A GSD and Rottweiler are hard working dogs. They need to be exorcised ALOT. They also need family LOVE and to feel to be part of the FAMILY and not be forced to stay outside. ESPECIALLY not if it's a puppy!! PLEASE rethink this because if you don't you are going to end up with a bad tempered dog and your going to give the breed a worse name for all the ignorant people that train a Rottie to be mean, and since you already think the breed is mean, don't get one. Don't get any dog.

No offence, but i don't think you should get a dog...

Especially not a hard working dog, a dog is not just about looks...

Sorry!!

[crazyonehuh]

No offense ... but I think you are a poser. I don't believe there is any one that can be as ignorant as you try to be. Your ability to spell... fake. you cant spell certain words but you can others and then abbreviate certain texting vocab. Fake!!

[psychosid77]

Just know that any dog, rot, gsd or whatever will all take a lot of training. Some breeds are a little tougher to deal with as they are strong minded and/or have an abundance of energy. But any dog will take time to train. And any breed can become aggressive if you don't raise it right, even those breeds that are not known to be violent. Just do as much research as you can before you get a dog, and if you still choose to get one, continue to devote a lot of time to him/her. It will get frustrating at times. I'm curious to know by the way, how much does a Rot or GSD cost over there as a puppy? Is the Rotti a common dog over there? Just curious to know.

[baycaligirl1]

If you want a dog I wouldn't start off with a rott or a GSD there are both great dogs but very strong minded and if this is your 1st dog I think you'd be very overwelmed. Start off with a smaller dog and a dog thats not so strong minded. there are so many breeds out there. LOOk around!!!!!!!!!! Take all these people's advice cause we own Rotts and know what were talking about! Good Luck!!!!!!!
