Pitbulls: Friends or enemies

White, who lives in a fenced property with a second gate around the side of the house, confesses she couldn't blame them for their reaction. "They are a dominant breed and I can tell you they are a big dog, they're solid, they have sort of a low-pain tolerancy and look at them," she says eyeing Gretel, who is standing with her broad shoulders pushed back.

"There's no difference between crossbred and purebred in terms of stability, if anything a cross-bred has probably got a fresh blood in the gene pool but the American Pitbull Terrier Club will argue all the attacks are my cross-breeds.




The Difference Between An American Rottweiler And A German Rottweiler?

I had an american breed rottweiler and a friend of mine had purchased a german breed rottweiler..he paid what i call a fortune for his dog..over a thousand dollars..were as i paid just a few hundred for mine. At only 6 months old his dog was as big as mine was at 2 years old if that says anything. His head actually seemed a bit larger then my rotties head was. It’s said that the German breed rott is the best you can get.

All rottweilers are of German descent but are now bred in many different places all around the world. They all have the same general physique and personality with only slight differences when it comes to beign bred in Germany or America. Most likely you have an American bred dog, because if it was German it would be more expensive and the breeder would have told you this. German ones are said to be shorter, stockier with a more massive block like head while American bred Rotts are generally taller and leaner with less squareness to their heads.

If you have an official pedigree for your Rottie, it will be obvious from the names (and the fact that German-bred Rotties imported into the States will have Imp. beside their names – I think – this happens with dogs imported into the UK and registered here) whether she has German blood in her – and of course, I guess all American Rotties will have originally come from Germany.

I’ve found the main difference between American and European breeds (and that includes UK bred breeds) can be head-type and also sometimes colour shades. Google it – I just put in German Rottweilers, and then American Rottweilers. You might also contact an American Rottie Breed Club, and ask.

Add – can’t better Uhave for that answer!!! lol

If you own a Rottweiler you’ve probably been asked (on more than one occasion), “Is your Rottweiler a German Rottweiler or American Rottweiler?” When I was first asked the question I was a bit baffled because I thought that there was only one kind of Rottweiler. Then the all knowing individual I was speaking to proceeded to explain to me that German Rotties were shorter, stockier and have a bigger blockier head, and American Rotties were taller and leggier without as blocky a head. (Of course, there are several variations to this mythology – American Rotties have bigger ears, German Rotties have bigger teeth, you name it someone’s probably said it.)

Wow! I thought I’d really learned something that day. Well, I guessed Jericho must be a German Rottie because he had a really blocky head, and Sherman must be an American Rottweiler because he has pretty long legs. Now after hanging out in the Rottweiler community and discussing this issue with some friends who have been in Rotties for 20 years, it turns out my first impression was right. There aren’t any distinctive types of Rottweilers, and only one factor determines whether a Rottweiler is ‘American’ or ‘German’ – their place of birth. Rottweilers born in America are American Rottweilers just as people born in America are called Americans. Dogs born in Germany are German Rottweilers. Earth shattering, mind boggling stuff, huh? How can that be, you ask?
