Rottweiler puppies are cute, as you already know if you've seen the pictures above. Unfortunately, like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers have an unfair reputation that precedes them.
As any breed, the Rottweiler can be aggressive and territorial if not trained or socialized . Fortunately, aggression is not a characteristic of this breed. They are known as loving, loyal jerks who strive to please their families.
If you are thinking about bringing a Rottweiler puppy into your life, there are a few things you should know and consider in advance.

In this protective nature, Rottweilers have a bad reputation for being overly aggressive.
Despite this innate need for protection, Rottweilers can be open to meeting new people and puppies if they are properly socialized. If you want a small Rottweiler puppy, make sure you set up lots of playdates with people and animals.
I'm really sure they will enjoy the additional cuddles and "awwwws"! that they participate in said play dates.
2. they love physical and mental exercise.

While your Rottweiler puppy will only weigh about 15 pounds at eight weeks, he will grow up to be an intelligent, strong, and large dog.
Rottweiler puppies need lots of physical stimulation. This breed loves to wrestle and fetch a lot.
Rottweiler puppies also enjoy obedience training. After all, they are considered one of the most intelligent breeds in the world!
If you consider yourself active, a Rottweiler puppy may be right for you.

Burping, drooling, and a little gas from the rear may not be something every Rottweiler puppy experiences, but it is something is common to the breed.
We believe that all the cuddles, exercise, and slobbery kisses your Rottweiler puppy will give you will make up for the occasional ability to clear the room.
4. they sometimes forget how big they are

Sometimes they act like little puppies when they lean on you. Your adult Rottweiler puppy is between 100 and 130 pounds.
They tend to lean on people because they were bred to help herd livestock. By nudging you, they try to lead you to treats just like they would lead a cow to a pen.
Rottweilers can also feel like lap dogs and have no problem making your belly their pillow.
5. despite the tough look, they need to spend time beautifying

And by "they," we mean "you."
Despite their short coats, Rottweilers can make an apartment with hardwood floors look like shag carpet in a matter of days.
Daily brushing and weekly bathing will reduce the amount of fur that ends up wherever your Rottweiler puppy sits.
