What Is the Bite Pressure of a Rottweiler/German Shepard Mix?

Sunday, July 4th, 2010
Don't make the same mistakes I made with my Rottweiler!

I know you probably can’t get the exact pressure, but I’m not sure if there’s a way to average it out somehow.
To Don: I was attacked by my Shepard/Rottweiler mix a couple years ago, and I like to learn as much as I can about so I can continue to recover emotionally.

A lot!! Considering they are two of the highest. But although you can research the jaw pressure of a GSD vs. the jaw pressure of a rott, you’ll only be able to guess about yours without testing because the upper jaw is inherited separately from the lower jaw. That’s why they could genetically engineer the jawline of the bulldog, overbites, underbites, etc.

******

Sorry to hear about the attack. Just for your own health, if you’re using this information to repeat over and over how much pressure the dog had that attacked you, then you’re dwelling in the past and that will only cause long-term harm to your emotionally and perhaps, physically. Use the negative situation to define how you wish things had played out, and imagine it going differently. What would you have done differently in that situation if it happened today? Find a way to process it and let it go so that it doesn’t rule you.

Could a German Shepherd or a Rottweiler Take on a Pitbull?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Lets say you are walking your German Shepherd and this violent Pitbull comes out trying to confront you, do you think that a full grown German Shepherd could take on a Pitbull?

I am not for dog fighting, but I always wondered, a Pitbull is a lot smaller than a German Shepherd and a Rottweiler, its bite PSI is not as high as that of those dogs but some say it can take those breeds on.

Yes, absolutely. Those breeds are both larger and stronger than a Pit Bull.

Should I Get a Rottweiler or German Shepherd?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I’ve owned a rotty before but never a german shepherd. I loved the rotty I had but she died of old age about 2 years ago so which one do you think I should get??? Could you give me the pros and cons of a german shepherd, i know all about the rott but feel free to tell me about the rotts too. Also im getting a girl rott or gs if that helps.

German Shepherds are a large-breed dog which generally are between 55 and 65 centimetres (22 and 26 in) at the withers and weigh between 22 and 40 kilograms (49 and 88 lb). The ideal height is 63 centimetres (25 in), according to Kennel Club standards.

German Shepherds can be a variety of colours, the most common of which are the tan/black and red/black varieties. Both varieties have black masks and black body markings which can range from a classic "saddle" to an over-all "blanket." Rarer colour variations include the sable, all-black, all-white, liver, and blue varieties.

German Shepherds sport a double coat. The outer coat, which is shed all year round, is close and dense with a thick undercoat. German Shepherds were bred specifically for their intelligence, a trait for which they are now renowned. They are considered to be the third most intelligent breed of dog, behind Border Collies and Poodles.

German Shepherds are highly active dogs, The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. However, they can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly. An aloof personality makes them approachable, but not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient and some people think they require a "firm hand", but more recent research into training methods has shown they respond as well, if not better, to reward based training methods.

Hope this helps and good luck with your new dog x

How Big Should a Rottweiler German Shepherd Mix Be at 3 1/2 Months?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

should it be around 12 to 14 pounds?

My Labrador is 5 1/2 months old and he weighs around that much, so it sounds about right considering it is a German Shepherd cross Rottweiler.
If you are worried that it’s overweight or underweight a good way to tell is you shouldn’t be able to see his/her ribs but you should be able to feel them when you press there.

Can You Train a Rottweiler the Same Way as a German Shepherd?

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

I have a German Shepherd and have done an amazing job training her so my cousin wants me to train her Rottweiler puppy. Can you train them the same way if not how do you train them. Thanks in advance.

Rottweilers are very smart and very trainable! I have owned and trained Rotty’s for over 19 years and after a few years realized how easy they made my job when trying to train other breeds. All dogs have their own personality, but a major part of training is to teach the owner and get the owner involved and have the owner do the training. Otherwise it will not work. You lay the groundwork and give the owner all the tools necessary to train the dog. And her Rotty will respect and bond with her which is an awesome feeling for a Rottweiler owner.

Good Luck and I hope this helped!

Whats the Difference Between a Roman Rottweiler and a German Rottweiler?

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

im confused about this.
you didnt have to be so rude,i asked a perfectly normal question and you all start treating me like osama bin laden.
how was i supposed to know that they were bred by BYB’S.

A difference in terminology & proper breeding. My guess it’s the equivalent to "tea cup" in Chihuahuas, someone sticking their fingers where they shouldn’t & "creating" certain "types" of a breed.

German Rottweilers are Rottweilers that come from Germany. Not a "type" of the breed.

Don’t you love sale gimmicks? Ugh.

Is There Such Thing as AKC Registered German Rottweiler Puppies?

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Because…I’m clearly seeing an ad for one and…AKC.org is not listing this "breed" like I assumed it wouldn’t.

Just wanting to double check lol

A rottie and german shepherd puppy would be a mutt. Not a registered AKC breed.

Can a Rottweiler and German Shepperd’s Puppies Turn Out Being White?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I recently got a puppy from someone and was curious out its color. The mother was a German Shepperd and the father was a rottweiler. We saw both dogs, and they were definitely a German Shepperd and rottweiler. Most of the puppies had the colors of the German Shepperd, but 2 of them were white, mine is white. I was wondering how the dog can be all white, considering the parents.

Yes it is possible. There are white German Shepherds. Some where down the line there might have been a few in their family. Also, a litter of pups can have more than one father.

Is It Possible for a German Rottweiler to Exceed 200 Pounds?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009


Maybe, but, I guarantee you the breeder of that dog would have to commit a kennel and show and work and financial suicide as no one would ever want to get near it.
Read up on the ADRK rules about German bred Rotts, tell me who has better standards, the Germans or the Americans!
