Rottweilers are prone to seasonal allergies such as pollen and weeds or other particles such as dust mites and mold. Flea saliva is another cause of Rottweiler Puppies allergies, as they are very sensitive to the protein in the saliva and the allergic reaction comes from the flea bite.  Just like us, they can be allergic to certain shampoos, household cleaners and chemical garden products.

Common symptoms of Rottweiler Puppies allergies

The symptoms that a rottweiler puppy will display when affected from an allergy may include excessive itching or scratching, constant head shaking or pawing, skin irritations or rashes and patchy hair loss. Less regular symptoms are vomiting, discharge from the eyes or nose, flatulence, coughing and scaly or flaky skin. Some rottweiler puppies may show behavioral problems stemming from their allergic reaction, but this is quite rare.

It is compulsory to work out what is causing your Rottweiler’s allergy.  A flea allergy is easy to find by checking his / her coat for fleas, and this can then be treated with a preventative application of an adequate product.  An inhalant allergy can be established through allergy skin tests administered by your rottie’s vet.  If you think that the allergy is caused by the puppies diet,  an elimination diet or switching to a hypoallergenic dog food may help.

Rottweilers can live on a vegetarian diet and be just as healthy as a meat-eating Rottweiler, but you must make sure you provide the required balance of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. Meat-eating pets on the B.A.R.F. diet or similar feeding regimen should be fed raw meat more often.  Meat should always be of high quality to avoid risk.

An adult Rottweiler should be fed twice in a day unless a vet has recommended once per day for health reasons.

In some of the cases Rottweilers have begun herding cattle without any experience at all.

Because of this the various Rottweiler Breed clubs have had x-ray testing regimes in place for many years. Osteochondritis Dissecans, affecting the shoulder joints, can also be a problem due to the rottweiler puppies propensity for a  rapid growth rate.  A reputable rottweiler breeder will have the hips and elbows of all breeding stock x-rayed and read by a recognized expert. They have certificates that their breeding animals do not have entropion or ectropion and that they have full and complete dentition with a scissor bite.

As with any of the breed, hereditary conditions occur in some lines. Due to over breeding, cancer has become one of the leading causes of early death in Rottweilers.

They are aware of their power make much use of their ability to intimidate.  Well bred schutzhund Rottweiler Puppies often carry their head on an even plane with the back or carries the head up but with the neck and shoulders slightly lowered or bowed. Some of the females lower the entire front end slightly when using the eye. Males also do this when working far off the stock in an open air field, but this is rarely seen in males when working in confined spaces or restricted such as stock yards.

Rottweiler Puppies working traits outside of the sport of Schutzhund

The Rottweiler has a reasonably good natural sense of balance, force-barks when essential, and when working cattle uses a very intimidating charge. There is a natural and normal change in forcefulness and energy when herding sheep. When they are working cattle it may use its body and shoulders and for this reason should be used on horned stock with caution. The Rottweiler, when working cattle, searches out the most dominant animal and challenges it. After proving its control over that animal it settles back and tends to its work.

The Rottweiler is a medium to large size breed of domestic dogs that are originally from Rottweil, Germany. The dogs were actually known as “Rottweil butchers’ dogs” (German: Rottweiler Metzgerhund) because they were used to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat and other products to the market area. Some records indicate that earlier Rottweilers may have also been used for hunting; there attacks were fatal, although the modern Rottweiler has a relatively low hunting instinct.

Typically, rottweiler puppies and adults were usually employed in their traditional roles until the mid-19th century when the railroads replaced droving for getting livestock to market.  Although it is a versatile breed of dog used in recent times for a variety of purposes, the Rottweiler is primarily known as one of the oldest herding breeds among dogs.

Modern uses for the Rottweiler Breed

A multi-faceted and intelligent herding and stock protection dog, rottweiler puppies remain capable of working all kinds of livestock under a variety of conditions.  While they are still used in herding to this day, Rottweilers are now also used in search and rescue work, as guide dogs for the blind, as guard or police dogs, and in other roles useful to human beings.
