Rottweiller

ROTTWEILLER

R eady to serve
O pen to kindness and understanding
T otally dedicated and devoted
T olerating only one true master
W illing to learn
E ver faithful
I mmense heart filled with love
L onging only to be loved as he loves you
L oyal and accepting to the end of his days
E xacting in his duties giving what he thinks is expected from him
R ottweiller - A good dog but not for everyone.

The Rottweiller is probably descended from the Italian Mastiff during the Middle Ages
and was originally used as a herding dog. 
It was bred in the German town of Rottweill.
It has a massive, powerful body, powerful scissors type bite and dark brown eyes 
with an expression of quiet good will and loyalty.
His personality is nervous around others but tranquil, brave and obedient with his 
family. He is easily trained with someone who knows what they're doing and has 
great desire to please. If he knows what is expected of him that's exactly what you 
will get. HE IS A NO NONSENSE DOG and becomes vicious if he thinks he or his master 
is in danger. He will give his life in the protection of his master or his master's property.
He is used as a herd dog, in police work, and as a watch dog and body guard.
Extremely affectionate but NOT the dog for everyone.
He needs a master with common sense, not some idiot who wants to beat him into 
submission. NO DOG NEEDS THAT!!
THEY HAVE AN INNATE NATURE TO BE CLOSE TO SOMEONE.
DOGS ARE PACK ANIMALS AND NEED TO BE PART OF A PACK OR FAMILY .
IF NOT THEY SUFFER HORRIBLE MENTAL ANGUISH. 
DOGS LOVE COMPLETELY AND NEED THAT LOVE RETURNED.
THEY ARE THE NOBLEST OF SLAVES.

I'm not a dog owner but I have a soft spot for them. I've petted so many but I stay away from Rottweilers, however. I have no doubt they're wonderful and loyal dogs, but they're way too intense for me. They scare me just like Dobermans and Pit bulls do, lol. Awesome poem, Judy:- )

I use to like them, until one day two Rottwellers came out the door of this house as i was walking my little dog, they both jumped on him and tore him to pieces. I picked one of them up and threw them aside, it is true you do have more strength when you are afraaid. these dogs were not very well trainined i blame the owner, not the dogs. he paid for the vet, my dog was lucky he was not killed,. I NEVER blame the dog, but the owner, just like pit bulls, it is they way they are trained.

Rotts are one of my favorite dogs, it is ashame that so many abuse pets of any kind. the bible says do unto others.... I wonder how a person would feel if someone did unto them what they do unto animals? great write you have penned.

We have a German Shepherd too. His name is Major. Tiara raised him and now he is 11yrs. old and blind in one eye. Still very healthy though. Major owns a Chihuahua named Jewel. We brought her home at Christmas 4yrs. ago just before Tiara died. He looked down and then looked back up at me and said, "For Me? She's beautiful, I love her." and she has been his eve since. He locves her. Thanks so much my friend. God Bless, JB

Not sure this would be a dog for me. I am not good with training animals But I am sure he is a cool dog for the right person. Informative poem!
