• It is illegal to dock the tale of a Rottweiler in the UK and Germany
• Whilst the Rottweiler's coat is thick, it is actually quite low maintenance
• The collar area of a Rottweiler is quite prone to picking up bacterial infections, so make sure that this area is completely dry after bathing or swimming before putting the collar back on
• You should start obedience training with your Rottweiler at an early age - it really is harder to teach an old dog new tricks!
• Spaying or neutering your Rottweiler as soon as possible will help to reduce behavioural problems
• Non-neutered females will reach sexual maturity between 6-10 months of age
• Male Rottweilers can become quite the escapologists when they scene a female in heat.
• Just because you have not been involved in the life of a Rottweiler puppy, this should not put you off looking to adopt or rescue a Rotty
