by Sharon Davies

Most people do not realize that there are two types of Rottweilers. This is because there is very little difference between the two. The two types of Rottweilers are the American Rottweiler and the German Rottweiler. The German Rottweiler is shorter, stockier and more muscular than the American Rottweiler.

These dogs are happiest when performing a task. They often do not realize their strength and can be referred to as gentle bears. The American Rottweiler is a highly intelligent dog with a fun sense of humor. The male is quite large and range between eighty-five and one hundred thirty-five pounds. The female ranges between sixty and one hundred pounds.

The only difference between the American Rottweiler and the German Rottweiler is their size. The American Rottweiler is taller and thinner in the face and body while the German Rottweiler is shorter, stockier and more muscular.

If the American Rottweiler is not properly trained in obedience at an early age he may become a bully, which can lead to additional behavior problems. American Rottweilers are not difficult to train and should be trained. They can be stubborn dogs and therefore they need to know who the boss is. Their size alone can be very intimidating and results in making a good guard dog. They excel in sports such as carting, flyball, herding and agility.
