The
Doberman Rottweiler Mix
, or Rotterman, is a hybrid of two large breeds that have unfairly attracted bad press in the past. Both the Rottweiler and the Doberman Pinscher are known as affectionate family pets, but both require a lot of exercise to stay healthy and fit, and to avoid bad behaviors, such as chewing and destroying. Female Doberman Rottweiler dogs typically reach 23 to 26 inches (58 to 66 cm) tall and weigh about 70 to 100 pounds (32 to 45 kg). This breed can hold you back with its looks.The Rotterman is a cross between a Rottweiler and a Doberman Pinscher. These big, powerful dogs tend to be intelligent, energetic, and protective. They are known for being loyal and affectionate dogs with their families. Generally speaking, Dobermans are slightly taller and yet lighter than Rottweilers, which creates a very slim and sometimes silly appearance.
The Rottweiler breed was one of the parent breeds used to create the Doberman in the first place, meaning that these two breeds mix well and create an attractive, strong-looking dog. The Doberman Rottweiler Mix's temperament is loving, affectionate, loyal, playful, alpha-driven, vigilant, possessive, a great guard dog and many more. You can always train the Rottweiler Doberman Mix to be kind and gentle with new people he just met. Public opinion tends to be that the Doberman Pinscher is more aggressive than the Rottweiler, but both breeds can be trained.
The Doberman Rottweiler Mix is considered to be relatively healthy, although they can suffer from a number of problems as they age, such as heart and joint problems. On the other hand, a Rottweiler-Doberman Mix that isn't well trained, socialized, or exercised is an accident waiting to happen. Keep in mind that the Doberman Rottweiler Mix can weigh up to 120 pounds when fully grown and will grow to 25 inches when it is a healthy adult dog.The Rotterman is an impressive canine that requires an experienced owner who can handle them properly. They are intelligent animals that are very loyal to their family and will protect them at all costs.
The adoption fee usually guarantees a veterinary checkup, vaccination and castration (if considered appropriate and necessary; the best thing is that they are 2 or 3 years old), as well as a constant supply of food and, hopefully, time for human interaction.If you invest a lot of time and resources in your Rottweiler-Doberman mix, this could be a great option for your family. The Rotterman has a relatively healthy prognosis for medium and large dogs between 10 and 13 years old. With proper care and training, this hybrid breed can make an excellent companion for any family.
