Ive owned Rotties for 34 years, absolutely my favourite (only) breed of dog. Generalising I would say the 3 main differences between the sexes are: Female - Calm, Confident Male - Domineering Female - Protective Male - Territorial Female - Strong Male - Too Strong Depending on what you are after and where you live it will depend which you prefer. Living in a little town with lots of people/dogs/kids I prefer females (I currently have 2). Males are undoubtably more impressive physically but dont let that be your guiding decision. All rotties need lots of discipline, direction and leadership, you wont get away with a rottie behaving like most cavapoos running around jumping on people and being a nuisance. The argument about "not suitable as a first dog" i think is not valid, as Ive seen many people who have owned 5 labradors not able to raise a rottweiler because they assume it will be similar. If you want to raise a rottweiler, study, learn, and take ownership seriously. Dog training is more education of the owner than it is actual training the dog. If you put in the effort you will be rewarded with the greatest friend a human can have.
This is an accurate summary of differences between male and female Rotties. As he notes, generalizing sex-based behaviors carries risk of negating individual differences between dogs. Nevertheless, his summary fits my experiences with my 3.5 year-old male Rottie. My male Rottie, unequivocally, is the most dominant dog I've ever owned. He was a terror as a puppy, challenging every person and every dog. Now, at 3.5 years old, with extensive training and lots and lots of patience, he is a well-mannered boy. Still, he can go from calm and relaxed to warrior-mode in an instant. Even though he is well-trained, he requires a level of vigilance around other people and animals unlike any dog I've ever owned before. As this gentleman said, I would not get a male Rottie if this is your first dog, or maybe even if it is your second dog. And if you do get a male Rottie, seek a balanced-trainer who understands how to teach you, how to meet this dog's needs.
I think the temperament of the dogs parents also play a big role in the agressian/temperament in a rottie , I have a 12 week pup and hes so easy and gentle , but also still has that natural protective instincts that rotties have. Deffinetly do research on the breeder and parents of the pup you wan
I have a female pup that sounds very similar to your male. She’s dominant but overall sweet natured. She’s learning I’m boss but she fights it along the way and would take over if I let her 😀
My rottie came to us at 3 or 4. He wanted to challenge me. She tried to charge me (think not aggression but obviously trying to test me. I stood my ground and hip checked him. I have some pretty strong legs. I used to kick open doors for fun. Once he got pushed back a few feet. He was my buddy forever. He just needed some reinforcement. He was jealous of my husband. He would stand between us every time we got close. I am the queen b!tch of the house. The pecking order starts with me lol
Our girl is nearly 6 now. She was a rescue and has strong guarding and herding instincts. We have to watch her closely as she will grab at peoples clothing as they turn to walk away, or even sometimes just walk past. She is incredibly obedient and eager to please and her recall is rock solid but she also gets over excited - jumping and play-biting and we have to tell her to calm down. When her food is ready, she jumps up and down on the spot!
I have had both female and male rotties...Being a woman, I prefer males! I've found them affectionate, easy to handle, protective, playful...and I've had dominant and less dominant rotties. Great video...
I think it's vise versa just like humans, I prefer females to male for first time cos dey are very affectionate when she's the 1st she'll become the alpha of and other that comes in afterwards buh you will be the alpha of Dem all
My female Rottie passed away a year ago at 9.5 years. She was wonderful, my wife had a certain amount of trepidation at first due to the reputation of the breed but within months she was sold, she couldn't believe she was ever afraid of her. She was 8 weeks old when I brought her home and she was a pure joy for 9+ years. I'm starting my search now to find another one to bring home in the spring. Definitely leaning towards a female but I do have experience in temperament testing a dog so ultimately solid breeding, solid health screening, and temperament testing are going to determine which one I bring home. I do understand that getting a pup from proven German and Serbian blood lines are the best options for temperament due to the strict standards on breeding and the dogs temperament.
Our first Rottweiler was a male and he was much more attached to my wife. If there was somebody that he did not trust he got immediately between my wife and them which was his purpose. Our second Rottweiler was a female and she seemed to be more flexible between my wife and me. But she also very closely watched people she thought where risky. They both seem to agree on which people needed to be watched. We had a very belligerent gentleman come to our house and I was trying to gently talk him down and he was getting more upset and finally I said you see my wife you see the dog that is between my wife and you and he kind of slow down then I said and you see the dog that's behind you and he excused himself and quickly left. The dogs just watched the man with clear purpose and let the man go but I know that if he had done anything violent they would have stopped him.
It all depends on your experience with the Rottie. I’ve had both and my male was a little stubborn but he was a gentle giant but looked very scary. He loved everything and everyone. My female always let him know she is the alpha female. I have a new pup she’s a year now and I’m getting a male. I’ve always had two dogs 🐕
I've owned 7 rottwielers to date and am now breeding them. I've never experienced it this way. I have always found the males easier to train and less moody.
I do agree with his points and it really comes down to the owner and also whether your dig comes from a working line or a companion line. I have had my Male Rottie for over a year and he is fantastic as we got the fundamentals right. He doesnt exhibit dominance with me and rarely has dod-dog issues - its actually my females (GSD & Boerboel) who seem to have more same sex issues with similar breeds. Great work and thanks for sharing
One thing is my female rottie can play real rough and have not met a dog she cant knock down to the ground and sit on.... She is a passive aggressive type but when she goes into protection mode she makes sure im behind her as she scares off whatever she thinks is a threat. These covid mask get a reaction out of her at times especially people with there hands in their pockets. Shes a woman what can i say! She once barked at my wife while we were arguing or while i was saying ok but she wasnt hearing it until bella told her to calm down. I never thought having a dog would be like having another child its wild and i love it.
Good video pretty accurate. He did mention working bloodline and more family pet bloodline. Those are 2 very different temperament. It a subject that's not talk enough about for first time owners that is also where doing your research comes in. 99% of good working line breeders won't sell to a first time owner but there is always a few bad apples
Ive seen videos of male rottweilers defending the kids from the parents who are acting angry but with my female she will help me instead of the kids is that weird? She loves my kids and runs off leash with them where ever we go. When i say she helps me she try to hold em down if im play smacking them or when my son was acting like he was shooting me with his gun bella barked and took it from him. My female is my absolute best friend on this planet shes a year old since may1st. I once got into a fight with a guys after i put my rottweiler in thank god i did but even though she wasnt there she tried to attack him the next few times, shes fine now when she see him but she somehow knew the man direspected me, strange i know but its true.
In my experience male Rottweilers, especially intact males, will challenge you strongly and almost constantly until they are an adult and you have demonstrated that you are the decision maker and the leader of the family. This doesn’t mean you have to be dominant or domineering, but you do need to be strong in the sense that what you say is what goes. This takes time to learn to do right and to communicate to the dog. I’m still learning and have had several large dogs in the past, and am on my second male Rotti. They are beautiful and amazing dogs once your relationship is established though, and we’ll worth consistent effort.
Nice video I was going to get a male as some people said they are more laid back and the female is more of a guard dog. Think I’ll try the female for the size first
As someone with over 40 years of experience with guardian dogs (Dobermanns for the most part), this is a very accurate video. I do not think that the video mentioned this, but taking appropriate care of a female in heat is also a big factor (or at least it has been so for me).
Fully agree, based on my own experience. The breeder argument could have been stressed a bit more: I ended up with a dog from anything but a reputable breeder (not by my choosing, long story). The result was my puppy having issues. Some we could iron out, others we had to learn to manage and to live with (both of which is challenging). Getting a dog from a reputable will certainly limit the chances of going there in the first place.
I have a 10 weeks old puppy rottweiler. She is lovely, but bites and nips our feet a lot and sometimes nips our hands when playing or frustrated. I understand the teething stage, but not sure how to teach her to STOP biting without accidentally teaching aggression 😳. Lovely accent and English, thanks.
Hey Sally, thanks for watching! We actually have a video looking at how to stop your rottie biting: th-cam.com/video/hHAvGiRBY30/w-d-xo.html hopefully this will give you some good tips!
My female was a royal PiTA!!!!!! Challenged me on every little detail. Once we reached an agreement (I was in charge, not her) things settled down. My males on the other hand, were wonderful, loving goofballs. On a side note: If you have two males, they may fight for dominance. But with solid leadership, you can stop/prevent them. If you have two females, they may get into what is called “bitch fights”. These are way worse than male dominance fights. And often do not respond to strong human leadership.
Howdy, awesome video! I’m going to be getting a rotti very shortly, but I’m a little scared. My roommate has a 2-3 year old corgi and he’s an awesome dog, but he is just an annoying barker! They practically give him treats to make him stop, and I tell them it’s not going to help but they think it’s funny because he’s cute. How could I avoid my rotti picking up those bad habits? Or is it even possible?
Excellent video! Very useful content. Thank you! I currently have male OEB and will be looking to add a rotty as my next dog to my pack, and will likely be getting a female for the reasons stated in the video
Really excellent information Sti I'm confused rottweiler male or female which one is good for family I small kid I'm first time owner please suggest me
My Rottador Boy is working lines, energy of labrador and speed but power of Rott. He challenged quite a bit, regardless of positive training, negative consequence and put on his side. He became dominant to the point we had him fixed. He's always wanting to work, very protective of my partner and the home. My bitch, she's very domesticated in comparison, she's alert, but extremely affectionate. He will flick on a switch at people he doesn't like, but at the same time he will listen to commands. My girl is aloof more, needy but she's fearless with water and other dogs. Both very different, but my boy is strong willed and can be stubborn. Love the breeds.
Mate, you are fucking brilliant I’m soo glad I found you, my 1st Rottweiler passed away in February, he was 11 years old. I now have a four month old rottie pup, (got him at 8 weeks) was terrible for biting your hands) I found your channel and am doing exactly what you said, it’s calmed down a lot, but the only problem I’m having is he has super mad moments barking at me trying to jump on the couch, just goes insane. I’ve tried talking him out for walks but he gets scared and will only be out for about 10mins before he wants to (literally) full pelt back home, my first rottie (a male) was pretty calm and loved his walks even as a pup. Would love some advice, and to hear back from you, my new rottie is a male aswell, also he loves people and kids, he can’t get enough fuss from them which I love about him
We really glad you found us too! We have a couple of videos that you might find helpful...

We recently put down our male rottweiler dog of 6 years! He had a hip dysplasia and was never a energetic dog....but he took a turn for the worst...and we put him down in September near my birthday....so next we shall get a female
@@tarahughes3529 I also had a Rottie born with severe hip dysplasia. Despite the very valiant efforts of my vets, we lost her at 7 yo. We found out that having the hip dysplasia caused her gait to be off. That caused arthritis in her knees, hips, hocks, elbows and shoulders. And what we didn’t realize was it also caused arthritis in her spine. At the end, she was unable to walk or even stand because the spine was so full of arthritis. She passed away in 2008. And I miss her terribly.
@@1packatak hi pat, I'm sure she was a lovely rottie! My rottweiler was in the same senareo, when he was about 5 and a half he developed arthritis in his spine and we had to lift him everywhere and it caused him pain which made our decision clear but always hard to loose a pet 🐶
Thanks mate its mad that you have to explain yerself and yer English is good I have taken on a rottweiler he is a male he is a rescue dog 3 years old didn't have a good start bad owner so he is scared of his own shadow he is my mate but im the boss 99.9 of the time we are both learning humans need to be taught as well thanks I prefer males he had his nuts chopped he hasent been able to be a dog immtraing him to be my service dog so any thing happens tome he gets a good home we humans are to blame not dogs my dog is better than human beings we are bad not dogs
I just got my rottie puppy she's about 8 weeks old she's very gorgeous, when i went to fetch her the breeder gave her to me and she was fine but when i got home and i wanted to pick her up again she started growling and it almost looked as if she was in a defensive mode the next morning it was the same can someone please give any insight or information what can i do
Hello from Brisbane and thank you for this very helpful and informative video. Ivy is a beautiful Rotti, looking at getting our first female Rotti next year.
Hey Manny, which part of town in Aus are you in? would love to get to get my 6 month old pup socialized or if interested in showing him on the videos for comparison. Great summary of the differences between male and female well done
I just got a female Rottweiler puppy she’s 8 weeks and I’m having the same issue where she seems very calm and she’s so calm it scares me because I was expecting so much energy this is my first pup so I could be judging it wrong but she had her first vet visit today and they said she looks healthy do you think she will get more energy as she grows up? I was planning on putting her in k9 camps once she gets all her shots but with this type of low energy idk hoping she gets better
I've heard this also. I'm hoping to get a Rott baby in the next 3 years. I definitely want to make the right choice. I'm definitely going to do tons more research
Im a man and grew up with a female Rottweiler and she definitley bonded with both myself and my childhood friends in a way I can only describe as maternal. She knew when we were upset and would comfort us. I only ever saw her angry 3 times over a decade and every single time it was a response to someone or something she perceived as a threat to us as we all spent a lot of time together after school. She tried to jump off a boat and fight a Tiger shark once. She truly loved us.
Good choice.. my advice... don't over feed .she likes to eat.unless getting tons of exercise here comes the extra pounds.. leads to bad joints..my vet said it best.. rottweilers are an orthopedic nightmare good luck.. just be cautious and aware..
Is it a European thing or wherever you're from to not doc the Tails it looks weird seeing a Rottweiler with a tail usually the dock them or whatever it cut them at Birth pretty much I don't really like that kind of looks like a bully or a pitbull that didn't have his ears clipped do you guys also leave their dew claw and not cut that off
Every dog is different. You have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. If you have the time to take care of the dog then go for it. Make sure everyone in your family understands what they are getting. Just because you can handle the dog does not mean everyone in your family can. Be honest with yourself because most people don't understand how much patience these dogs require. Also, make sure to get it from a proper breeder which will be expensive as well. Most breeders that sell Rottweiler puppies at a cheap price don't do any sort of temperament tests on parents. So even though the puppy might be pure breed it can have issues later.
@@rroohhaann123ful i am ready for every thing even more than his requirements he need 2 long walks i will give him 3 long 1-2 hour walks + lot of mental stimulus... i am free AF and i am researching from 5 years but still i am confused between Rottwiler or European doberman pinscher that's a problem bruhhh ! 😂
@@prathviparihar7857 if you're ready for providing everything like you said...go for a female Rottweiler rather than male as you are a first time dog owner. Also don't get a European Doberman as a first time dog owner as they are a working breed and need lots and lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation too.
Borderline racist comment. Attacking aspects like accent is one sign of racism, something they have no control over. Not everyone speaks clear mother tongue English
Ive owned Rotties for 34 years, absolutely my favourite (only) breed of dog. Generalising I would say the 3 main differences between the sexes are: Female - Calm, Confident
Male - Domineering
Female - Protective
Male - Territorial

Male - Too Strong
Depending on what you are after and where you live it will depend which you prefer. Living in a little town with lots of people/dogs/kids I prefer females (I currently have 2).
Males are undoubtably more impressive physically but dont let that be your guiding decision. All rotties need lots of discipline, direction and leadership, you wont get away with a rottie behaving like most cavapoos running around jumping on people and being a nuisance.

Hey Sally, thanks for watching! We actually have a video looking at how to stop your rottie biting: th-cam.com/video/hHAvGiRBY30/w-d-xo.html hopefully this will give you some good tips!
Hey brother, you mentioned reccomedations in Australia. If youre still active id enjoy hearing who you recommend
My female was a royal PiTA!!!!!! Challenged me on every little detail. Once we reached an agreement (I was in charge, not her) things settled down.
My males on the other hand, were wonderful, loving goofballs.
On a side note:
If you have two males, they may fight for dominance. But with solid leadership, you can stop/prevent them.
If you have two females, they may get into what is called “bitch fights”. These are way worse than male dominance fights. And often do not respond to strong human leadership.
Sounds just like my 2 females and 1 male - male was a clown, females overly protective - maybe the potential mother in them?
I was waiting on this video but I already had got my Rottweiler male nice video
Glad you enjoyed it, hope all is going well with your Rottie
Female Rottweiler is less aggressive
I love your illustration, i prefer the female 1st. Then a male afterwards
Proud owner of both!!!❤

We recently put down our male rottweiler dog of 6 years! He had a hip dysplasia and was never a energetic dog....but he took a turn for the worst...and we put him down in September near my birthday....so next we shall get a female
So sorry to hear about your Rottie ❤️
@@willathertonrottieshow1721 aw thanks you so much he had a hip dysplasia when he was born and it never got better ❤️👋
@@tarahughes3529 I also had a Rottie born with severe hip dysplasia. Despite the very valiant efforts of my vets, we lost her at 7 yo.
We found out that having the hip dysplasia caused her gait to be off. That caused arthritis in her knees, hips, hocks, elbows and shoulders. And what we didn’t realize was it also caused arthritis in her spine. At the end, she was unable to walk or even stand because the spine was so full of arthritis.
She passed away in 2008. And I miss her terribly.
@@1packatak hi pat, I'm sure she was a lovely rottie! My rottweiler was in the same senareo, when he was about 5 and a half he developed arthritis in his spine and we had to lift him everywhere and it caused him pain which made our decision clear but always hard to loose a pet 🐶

Where did u buy your rottweiler
I have a male Rottie and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Hello from Brisbane and thank you for this very helpful and informative video. Ivy is a beautiful Rotti, looking at getting our first female Rotti next year.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully our video has helped as you decide on the right dog for you!
Hey Manny, which part of town in Aus are you in? would love to get to get my 6 month old pup socialized or if interested in showing him on the videos for comparison.
Great summary of the differences between male and female well done
I just got a female Rottweiler puppy she’s 8 weeks and I’m having the same issue where she seems very calm and she’s so calm it scares me because I was expecting so much energy this is my first pup so I could be judging it wrong but she had her first vet visit today and they said she looks healthy do you think she will get more energy as she grows up? I was planning on putting her in k9 camps once she gets all her shots but with this type of low energy idk hoping she gets better
Has there been a difference in her energy levels now?
My wife and I decided to get another dog we decided rottweiler female it is thank you for explaining
Great advices, thx for the video.
How was guarding mentality
Is your choice any dogs that gros yo with love and a
Dogs the to bond more with people of the opposite gender
I've heard this also. I'm hoping to get a Rott baby in the next 3 years. I definitely want to make the right choice. I'm definitely going to do tons more research
Im a man and grew up with a female Rottweiler and she definitley bonded with both myself and my childhood friends in a way I can only describe as maternal. She knew when we were upset and would comfort us. I only ever saw her angry 3 times over a decade and every single time it was a response to someone or something she perceived as a threat to us as we all spent a lot of time together after school.
She tried to jump off a boat and fight a Tiger shark once. She truly loved us.
good video!
Thanks so much!
Thanks brother..........
Good choice.. my advice... don't over feed .she likes to eat.unless getting tons of exercise here comes the extra pounds.. leads to bad joints..my vet said it best.. rottweilers are an orthopedic nightmare good luck.. just be cautious and aware..
What’s your opinion about Best age to spay a female rottie
2 years of age, once fully gown.
What does “ bitchy” mean to you, regarding Rottweiler?
Is it a European thing or wherever you're from to not doc the Tails it looks weird seeing a Rottweiler with a tail usually the dock them or whatever it cut them at Birth pretty much I don't really like that kind of looks like a bully or a pitbull that didn't have his ears clipped do you guys also leave their dew claw and not cut that off
It’s the law now in that part of the word, no docking of tails or no cropping ears.
Sono l'unico italiano che segue sto canale?🇮🇹🇮🇹
I disagree
❤....Rottweiler for ever...😉
My rotty ( jessy) is very attractive to me
Smaller dog. Smaller poop. Sold
Is female much cheaper than male
I think they are more expensive because they have the potential to have puppy's 💰
They should be priced the same.
To feed probably cheaper, they’re smaller and lighter
Too much "um" "uh"
I have 3 times experience... Can i get male rottie as my first gaurd dog ?
Every dog is different. You have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. If you have the time to take care of the dog then go for it. Make sure everyone in your family understands what they are getting. Just because you can handle the dog does not mean everyone in your family can. Be honest with yourself because most people don't understand how much patience these dogs require. Also, make sure to get it from a proper breeder which will be expensive as well. Most breeders that sell Rottweiler puppies at a cheap price don't do any sort of temperament tests on parents. So even though the puppy might be pure breed it can have issues later.
@@rroohhaann123ful i am ready for every thing even more than his requirements he need 2 long walks i will give him 3 long 1-2 hour walks + lot of mental stimulus... i am free AF and i am researching from 5 years but still i am confused between Rottwiler or European doberman pinscher that's a problem bruhhh ! 😂
@@rroohhaann123ful and the biggest thing is i don't know my mom can hendal him or not 😩
@@prathviparihar7857 if you're ready for providing everything like you said...go for a female Rottweiler rather than male as you are a first time dog owner. Also don't get a European Doberman as a first time dog owner as they are a working breed and need lots and lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation too.
@@kabir1557 bro i am not first timer i had 7 dogs together back than but never have a guard dog ! But now i have 😂
Why is her tongue so freaking huge lol
Is this Chinese accent?
No.
🤣🤣🤣
Probably Italian, Chinese? Not even close
A male I hate my girl Rottweiler
who the hell is this guy
Manny with his rotti Ivy
As before almost incomprehensible...
Come on man. He's trying his best. It's obviously not his first language.
Clean ur ears I can hear loud n clear
Borderline racist comment. Attacking aspects like accent is one sign of racism, something they have no control over. Not everyone speaks clear mother tongue English
