People are often wary of the Rottweiler, as these large, powerful dogs are commonly used to guard property and can look quite intimidating. However, the Rottweiler is also a beloved pet, currently ranked 8th on the American Kennel Club Chart.
Due to its popularity, the Rottweiler is often crossed with other purebreds to create very interesting mixed breeds. Intelligence, dedication, and the Rottweiler’s ability to get along with other pets and children are all qualities that lend themselves to crossbreeding.
