I saw a site on the internet that said there are long-haired rottweilers. Is this true? I thought rotts were supposed to have short hair.</BLOCKQUOTE>

 

[rutylr]

They are but things happen ,and long coats and white spots do happen.These of course should not be bred.

I was wondering because on the standard I saw it said it was a fault but some guy was advertising them as rare.</BLOCKQUOTE>

 

[rutylr]

They are rare,but not in the get more money for them rare.It is not some thing you see alot.It's like Red and Albinos Rottweilers.


It is a fault and should not be bred.But people will do anything for money.

I have seen sites for rare white rottweilers, but they never called them albino. Do these dogs have normal colored eyes like a standard rott, or are they lighter. Is there a difference between a white rott and a albino rott?</BLOCKQUOTE>

 

[rutylr]

I'm guessing the white Rottweiler has blue eyes like the white Doberman.


I have never seen a white or Albino Rottweiler,but I have heard of them.I think it would look really scarry.

Yeesh, me too! Same for a white doberman-it just wouldnt look right. So are these animals temperaments the same as the standard for the breed or are they unstable? </BLOCKQUOTE>

 

[rutylr]

I did meet some white Dobermans once.They were friendly,but they have very bad skin problems and lots of health problems,They can not be out in the sun for too long.

I figured there had to be some kind of throwback from them not meeting the standard.

Its a shame there are people out there who will try to make a profit off of these dogs. I heard the breeding standards are closely regulated in Germany, is this true? If so, do you see it happening here?</BLOCKQUOTE>

 

[rutylr]

I wish we had standards like they have in Germany.There would be alot less people breeding,but that will never happen here.We have the right to do what ever we want with what we own.It's a shame .

I agree. I think people who are going to breed rotts or any other animal should have to pass certain criteria, and take some sort of courses to learn about properly breeding a animal.</BLOCKQUOTE>

There is a club in the states that is trying to be like the Germans,but their rules only apply to people who belong to the USRC.It's a start.

ya just like people .... some
people shouldnt breed either .....






Hey Donna ,



I know we have gone
over this in the past BUT
.... when people say is that
a german rott ..... would
i be right in saying .....



REAL german rotts have tails
..... cause i know in
germany they have tails .....



so when someone is
bragging you know there
lying .... ALL rotts are
german BUT real rotts
from germany have tails right ??????

 

[rutylr]

Yes and no.


It started in Scandinavia(Denmark,Sweden,Finland and Norway) in 1987


In Germany all docking had to be stoped by 1/1/2001


France,Belgium,and Italyand a few other countries still dock,but if they follow the FCI standardthey have untill 1/1/2006 to stop docking.Austrailia has stoped docking also.


So yes anything born in Germany after1/2001 must have a tail(tho some people dock once the dog gets here),but just because a dog has a tail does not mean it's German(some breeders don't dock here to cut back on the cost of rearing a litter(cheep)).


Again(this is my thinking )if the dog is such a great German dogwhy is it not in Germany?They don't sell the good stuff.Since the Germans have much higher standards for breeding,if the dogs don't meet their standards they sell them to stupid people.We get all their junk and they laugh all the way to the bank.


There are a few people who improt good dogs,but the key word here is few.

See yes and no.


And yes all Rottweilers are fromGermany.The dogs that are being shown and the ones the BYB are breeding.They all came from the same blood lines.Every Rottweiler on this planet came from the same place.


Rottweil,Germany

My sister's neighbor got a white dobie puppy a while ago. I haven't seen it yet, but my sister told me about it. I didn't think of the skin problems, and needing to stay out of the sun, Donna! We're in AZ, so hopefully he'll keep his boy inside and in the shade.
