The Rottweiler is like someone wanted a Doberman, a Pit Bull, a Mastiff, and a Border Collie but could only have one dog. So he asked someone to combine all four. Awesome dogs. =D
I've had 3 rotties in my life and thought I knew a "little" about them. This video is awesome and instructive on learning things that are crucial to understanding Rotties. Great job!
“You having kids man, you let yo kids be apart of he’s life from the beginning. And they will love that kid and protect that kid… like its nobody’s business.” Felt that one in my soul 😭😭😭❤️
Dale, you're absolutely spot on. My wife and I have had Rotts for 30+ years. Treat them right, train them right and you'll have a fantastic dog. Incidentally, our current girl shares her life with a Chow Chow, Brussel's Griffon and Mini-Dachshund, all girls who get on well.
@@wasntme3651 thank you. It’s an interesting dynamic. She’s a typical Chow, loyal but quite aloof with people she doesn’t know. She’s quiet but definitely the one the others look up to amongst themselves. She’s our eighth Chow in 40 years and like all the others will not tolerate aggressive behaviour towards herself or any of the others by another dog. The red mist comes over them.
@@cherrybrandy269 They are a very tough, take no 💩 breed. My mom had one while I was young. His name was Rusty and he was awesome with us but other dogs not so much. We got him when he was a few years old. It destroyed my mom having to have him put to sleep when he got old. Back in those days I was too young to understand. Now after having to have it done to a couple of mine I now understand. My neighbor raised many Chow Chows and his were only about him. One of the toughest breeds IMO. The purple mouths are really cool.
Smart man!!!! This would be someone I would trust wholeheartedly with purchasing a rottweiler from!!! He truly cares about the breed itself not just his own dogs! This is someone who breeders could learn from and they should strive to be this way!!!
Love this breed and so delighted to see this video of Dale Cunningham showing common sense methodology to go along with his wise view on tail docking, a horrible practice that should be illegal. Good for Germany!! And many good wishes to Dale and his fantastic approach, may it travel far and wide!!
Around 3:30": '...don't cut their tail...' Absolutely true! My parents had their first Rottweiler when I was 16 y/o. Its tail was cut off. That was normal back then. Now I'm in my 60s and I've never had another breed in the house. Back in the early '90, tail docking became prohibited in Europe. All my dogs since then had a full tail. Raising a Rottweiler to a well-behaved dog is easier when the dog has its tail! You learn to read the signs. As if he (she) 'picks up the phone' and tells you what his/her next move will be. You can anticipate that. I'm glad that Mr Cunningham here on the video shares this experience. Thank you, sir. Rottweilers have a certain: "Mmmm, let's see... yesterday's rules do not apply today unless they're to my advantage!" You need to 'rehearse' the rules frequently. Combine that with a fixed daily pattern and it will be easier to learn the dog what you want from him/her.
My Brother-in-Law had a Rottie close to 30 years ago, One evening when they went out the dog ate a feather pillow. A couple of years after that, my son stayed over night and she ate his jean jacket (everything but the strip with the buttons). He always brought her to the office where we worked so that she could socialize with people. We all took turns playing with her and taking her outside. Fetch and Tug-O-war were her favorites. I used to play Tug-O-War with her using just two of my fingers curled behind her canine teeth.
Very good video very good advice ...I had one and your bang on about how intelligent they are, personality and how much training and stimulation they need. Once if the beat breed big up Germany/deautchland
Hey guys. Great channel, & love the vid! My first Rottie, & my wife's second. We got a lil/big girl from a litter of four, & from a wonderful family. Everything you said was spot on, & she's only 3 months old. All 18 lbs of her!🐷 We got her at 8 weeks, & it's been amazing & frustrating, but I wouldn't change it a bit. I'll look for your other vids. Peace. 🤙
Love love Rottweilers. I’ve had 2, one lived to just shy of 12, and the second to about 3 months over 11. My 2nd had his natural tail, which I loved. If I were of good health I would get a 3rd.🇺🇸.
I finally have a Rottweiler after many years of having Dobermanns. I can definitely tell that Rottweilers are not for beginners. In addition to being very intelligent and loyal, Rottweilers are stubborn, easily distracted and very powerful. The advantage with them is that they can get more easily tired than more energetic dog breeds (if you can spend a couple of short daily sessions playing with them, that would be enough to keep them from being destructive). It is also key to socialize them heavily with other dogs and humans until they are four months old.
Blessings Dale and I just got a Rottweiler,Dogo Argentino mix and I'm in love...I have 2 bulldogs as well and she stole our hearts... thanks for the documentary... Blessings and 1 ❤ brother... Rastafari Sellasie1 ❤️🌱🌱🌱🔥🔥🔥🐕🐕🐕🐱🐰💯💯💯
For some reason I love Rottweilers with a tail back in the day I used to like him with a docktail, but in 2016 I actually like them with a tail because their tail is very thick like a labrador with Dobermen’s. It’s completely different because Dobermen’s have problems with long tails and floppy ears.
Very interesting talk! Good video!! Since the "you get what you pay for" statement came about, what is a good reasonable price amount for a rottweiler?
BREED INTEGRITY 🐾..The Rottweiler with the right breeding early training and socialization are the most loving family dogs with the greatest personalities,this breed needs to be around their people and do not like to be left alone and they enjoy the companionship of other dogs,especially other Rottweilers,best to have a female first,then a male about a year or two apart.
If i had to be in a room with a rott or akita, i would choose the rott everytime. Akitas are notoriously challenging dogs, would recommend them only to Dog people with experience.
Rottweilers much more friendly ! Depends though, I've seen "show bred" Akita that were super sweet & loved everyone. That just isn't the "normal" temperament
I'm glad the tails are coming back, but one thing that concerns me is some breeders are producing more brachycephalic rotties with the short faces and extra wrinkles. Just seems like health problems waiting to happen.
My second breed and I always love the Rottweiler a lot a lot of people over the years now are making them way too short faces like a bull mastiff and some people breed them for a really long muscles that’s not the correct breed standard a Rottweiler snout is supposed to be in between long and short so around in the middle
This dude has a lot of knowledge of rottys and dogs in general.. you don’t see a lot of breeders like this . Just like he said about the French’s breeders all more concerned about the money by only breeding for color not health.. greed…Aloha 🤙🏾
Unfortunately, ppl are breeding & ruining allot of great breeds by breeding for nothing but colors, looks or exaggerated features. Look at all the "blue nose" bully types, blue itself is a bad trait & lots of health issues follow the color. Yet, people STILL breed them.. shepherds with sloped backs , Doberman bred for size instead of athletic/lean structures & workability, Bullys bred to be huge & unhealthy with messed up bone structures. People do dumb things for money
Wasting six months of a dogs most impressionable stages by not training a pup early... got my rotti at 2 years old and i wish i had her at 8 weeks to start training, dogs turned out phenominal but i can only imagine the dog id have if i started training in the puppy stages, sounds like laziness not a strategy
Def a breed that is not what they were initially from a look, function and capability standpoint. The Rottweiler of today is not even close to what it was originally, and not different in a good way.
Agree, it was a multi-purpose dog. Unfortunately if you breed them like that today, people won't buy because they don't look like those bigger bulkier Rotts.
I have rottie that is not the biggest or has the blockiest head. It isn't about how they look, it's about how healthy they are and how well you can care for them. This thing about the dog appearance is just bs.
Plenty of folks breeding for work.. just don't see/hear about the dogs because they're busy working !! All my hounds, shepherds, livestock dogs came from strictly working breeders .
This was not a Video about doing bite work. It was about owning and breeding. I have been doing bite work from the start. I put working foundation in all of my puppies. This is the second video I have done for Zeke. The first one I worked my dogs.
This is someone who loves and respects the breed. You can tell he really cares.
No he doesn't SMH typical clown 🤡🤡🤡
I agree with you 100% ❤
A well bred rottie is a great guardian, loyal, hard working, confident, and incredibly smart. My favorite breed.
The Rottweiler is like someone wanted a Doberman, a Pit Bull, a Mastiff, and a Border Collie but could only have one dog. So he asked someone to combine all four. Awesome dogs. =D
Really close only thing is Dobermans come from rotts so it’s the other way around but close
why Border Collie?
@@FuryonKnight Because of the drover dog aspect.
Doberman is half Rottweiler.
Border collies aren't drovers. Heelers and Old english sheepdogs are drovers.
This is a great man to get a dog from. He respects the breed and looks to the long-term health of the breed. Wish more were like him
Me too

I am preparing to be a rottweiler owner and I learned so much from this video. Thank you !
This man is a real one. Nothing but respect for the breed
More breeders like this needed. Such words of wisdom

He keeps saying Rock and its burning my ears lol
Great content!!!
This might be the firer time me seeing a Rottweiler with a tail
I would say the Rottweiler is the primary mastiff bred for tactical use. Cops and military all have used them.
@DogumentryTv_on_te-legra-m what?
Is it safe to adopt a 2 year old Rottweiler? What should I do to introduce the dog to his new house effectively.

2-3
@mr.b3168 too much money, IMHO! I'm starting to believe these breeders are asking this much just so we can support their lifestyle, IMHO.
@@sunvegeta what do you think is fair?
@mr.b3168 what's "fair" for me would not be the same for you! For my money's worth, the most I would pay for a dog would be $1500, tops!!

of course it matters, You buy a Rottweiler because of the way it looks and for it's temperament. Otherwise adopt a rescue dog.
@@donsazon3608 my dogs temperament is just fine. Guarding at home, loyal and most importantly healthy.
I really! Don't like the cutting off their tails either it's also banned in the UK to cut off their tails as well
Man the way breeders inflate prices and start being some German lineage . “ not a 1100$ dog “ that’s crazy , what the dog shooting gold ?
where are their tails? are they pulling carts??? so sad.
Now days people want a 3500$ dog for 500 😭
I don’t dock either the rest of the world stopped that crap 25 years ago.
Too many breeders are breeding for the fun of it......none of these breeders are breeding working-class dogs
blah blah blah
