Whats the difference between a rottweiler and a doberman pinscher?
They are very different dogs who just happen to look a bit similar. The Rottweiler is stockier, heavier, longer, with a broad head. They were originally all-purpose farm dogs in Germany, bred to drive livestock to market, pull carts, etc. They are fairly independent, smart, strong dogs. The Doberman was deliberately created to protect people. Taller, lighter, leaner, more elegant. They are very smart and not independent at all… Doberman people refer to them as “Velcro dogs” because they stick to you. Both require training, both are housedogs (although a Rottweiler will enjoy playing in the snow… Dobermans get COLD), both are wonderful dogs, both make great family dogs and are great with children, both are extremely active and require lots of exercise. Dobermans I think require more time… they are not happy unless they are with their person. I would choose based on temperament and your lifestyle and what dog would be a better fit for you, personally, more than I would choose based
