How to know if you can care for a rottweiler
Consider your current home.
Think about your home before deciding to adopt a rottweiler. Because of their nature and history as cattle dogs, they need lots of space and a yard to run around.
Rottweilers do not tolerate extreme temperatures. Since rottweilers are good guard dogs, you should be cognizant that they will bark or even scratch at doors if cooped up in a confined space at home.
