My next door neighbor loves my dog so much that he wants a big dog. He decided on a boxer. He got one from a rescue full grown. After a few weeks we planned on getting our dogs to meet each other at a park. His boxer saw my dog through the fence and now tries to jump the 6.5 foot fence. Could he jump it and would he be able to survive going in a rottweilers territory. My dog is usually good with other dogs, but he only lets one dog in his territory and that is our chihuahua.

Whether he could survive or not depends entirely on the severity of the injuries, if he were to be attacked. That isn't something that can be predicted. Aside from that, your dog could still be injured too, and your chihuahua could easily be killed by a larger dog.

Given that you have these concerns, the best thing you can do is talk to your neighbor about training his boxer to stay in his own yard. Should the dog ever get into your yard, it would be the neighbor who is at fault, as your dogs would be on their own property. Still, talk to the neighbor about working on training the boxer to stay in his own yard in the first place, before something DOES happen.

I am looking for akc rottweiler puppies near dallas. I no the breed and know what im getting into. Any suggestions?

The AKC

I that they are big, but does that mean all of them are bad. I've grown up with those kinds of dogs my entire life!

Most reasons are they'd rather listen to how the media portrays them as, rather than the real truth. Mostly people don't know the true temperament and history. Also, some may have had a bad experience with one, which I understand, but honestly there shouldn't be a reason to deem the whole entire breed dangerous because of one dogs doing!

@Natty: Excellent Vid!

I am now more interested in getting a Rottweiler more than any other dog, i know they say there police dogs, so I am whondering how well do you think or know they are as Search and Rescue dogs, i seen on a info website about the rott, breed and say they are good at tracking now is that the same or no, can anyone who knows pls answer……………………Thanks…………….

YES! They are such capable and versatile dogs and can most definitely excell as in SAR work. Finding a reputable breeder is paramount especially with a rottweiler. So look on your local clubs website as a good place to start. Talk to the breeder(if that is the route you go instead of adopting) and tell them you want to do SAR.

SAR dogs need confidence, prey drive and bidability(desire to work and please). Rotties are good at those things so its just a matter of finding a good breeder and parents with those qualities; which of course are correct for a rottie.

Good luck!

The Humane Society in my area is selling dogs for $17.76 (sorta like a 4th of july sale) and they have a German Shepherd there (a rarity in my area) that my family wants to adopt. Then there is another shelter that has fallen on hard times I guess and their dogs are free. They have a Rottweiler (again a rarity) that my family also wants to adopt. BUT our pit bull is pregnant, she is only due to have 5 puppies though. There's no telling how long these dogs will be available so if we want one of these dogs we have to decide, well now. Do you think it'll be alright to buy another dog while our current dog is pregnant? And yes she will be spayed when the puppies are gone.

Provided you can afford the vet bills and have a home for the expected pups. Both dogs you are considering adopting need a lot of space, so please have a large fenced backyard before you take either of them.

Also, have them spayed or neutered as soon as you get them.

I was actually looking for an adult Great Pyrenee to be a companion and also to help keep me safe when I go for walks, but it's so difficult to find people that sell Great Pyrenees and a lot of people that I spoke to said that Great Pyrenees can be quiet dangerous to be kept in the city.
They recommended a Rottweiler or a German Shephered, but I have always been afraid of these dog's.
I am lost now.

I answered your first copy of this question, and sent you a private email, so I won't repeat what I already said.

If you are living in a city, it's more difficult to keep a pyr, but some people have done it successfully. I own 4 pyrs and I invite you to join our pyr group. The link is below.

The reason for not recommending to have pyrs in the city is not because they are a high energy dog, because they are NOT. It's not because they "can be dangerous"… that's hogwash. If you join the group, you can ask if others have their pyrs in a city or town, as I haven't kept track if any live in town or city. The problem is that pyrs love to wander over good distances. They were bred to live in the pastures and make independent decisions to guard the sheep at night so the shepherd could sleep. But people have successfully raised pyrs in cities. It's just not the ideal situation and you have to take them to dog parks, or out into the country for some good walks. But it can be done. You need to learn the breed well.

I wouldn't recommend a Rottie or GSD unless you're a really high energy person. They tend to be less calm than pyrs. Pyrs have the calm assurance that gains them the name "gentle giant".

You obviously have a strong interest in pyrs and my recommendations for this are:
1) read all you can online about breed traits
2) join a pyr group and ask lots of questions to learn who's in group that lives in town or city and what they do to make life good for their dog(s).
3) look into Petfinder (I don't know what city you're in) and see if there are pyrs in rescue that need a loving family.

I really don't think it will be all that hard to find people that sell pyrs, but I can't tell because I don't know where you live. But you can put your city/state into Petfinder and search for pyrs that need to be adopted in the areas near you. If you work, it would be better to get an older pup or young adult dog rather than a 8 week old puppy. In rescue dogs, your main question is "will this dog have separaton anxiety". In cities, the rescue groups usually test the dog's personality.

Please keep in touch and join the group and check out petfinder. @->–

just look at those big eyes, droopy puppy ears, cute little nose and wagging tails… so irressistable!! im tempted to get one but i could never handle a rottweiler. how can something so cute turn into something so mean and scary?

They're adorable, I agree.

But they don't turn "mean & scary" more than any other dog. You just gotta raise 'em right & love them.

I'm about to get a 9 week old male rottweiler as first pet. I'm curious to know that in general how is the personality and temperament of a 9 week old rottweiler? Since he is in his baby stage, I expect him to be harmless. How to make sure he remains harmless forever — even to strangers?

You posted your question in the bird section. You will get a better response if you repost it in the dog section.

However, I do own 5 dogs - 2 of which are 85 pound pitbulls. The key to keeping any dog harmless is to keep it socialized. We take our dogs to the park and the petstore regularly.

Rotts generally aren't aggressive unless they have been raised or trained to be that way.

I would also recomment obedience classes. Working with your puppy regularly will make a big difference.

I was given a puppy for free and her mum and dad are rottweiler.Where can i take her to register her in Atlanta Ga because the owner does not have any papers for her.

if no papers you can't register with akc.
don't know of any other worth bothering with.
