Thoughts on Rottweilers?

It's a no brainer! A "gamebred" APBT is the super athlete of the canine world. I guarantee a gamebred bulldog will have that Rottie squealing like a stuck pig!!!

 

It all comes down to gameness. Sure a Rott is bigger and stronger than an APBT, but a game APBT will keep fighting regardless of injuries. A Rott will back down eventually. Basically, if a Rottweiler doesn't completely destroy the APBT in the first five minutes, he's fucked.

To answer your original question, I do like Rottweilers. I think they're awesome dogs and I'd love to own one some day.

Great looking pup btw, what's her name?

 

I was raised around them as a child up thru my later teens. My god mother whom was also my neighbor and favorite person to be around daily when I was growing up bred them so they were always around. I loved them other than the fact I am allergic to them. Very good protection dogs. They were from German lines. Ranged from 110 to 170lbs. Very loyal to their masters and would fuck your world up if you made a dumb move towards their owner. However in the 2nd picture shows one of my 3 month old pups, 20lb tops, that got into it over a bone with the 90 lb 1.5 year old rottie. That pup latched on to the side of that rotts face and it screamed and squelled. Wanted no part of the APBT. Those are just pups, an adult would in the end more times than not smash a rott in short order. The only proof I need of this is the simple fact if they were good against other dogs then they would too be used and since they are not, well, what more proof does one really need?

The reason they don't last against a bulldog is a simple explanation. While the rott will most likey dominate the first initial 10 to 15 minutes, it will tire, after that happens that bulldog is just warming up and will pick their big asses apart. As long as the bulldog don't sustain massive damage in those first 10 to 15 minutes. Rotts are not going to stay there very long once the tide turns, they will cur like most any other large breed will. If they were good as match dogs then obviously they would be used however they are not. Pretty basic idiology.

Me as a child with a female named Jenna, shes about 10 years old in the pic. Lol I'm probably about that age as well.



The pup I was refering to and the 1.5 year old.

 

Uncle had a couple when i was younger, the female stood out ver protective of us kids from a young age, by 6 months old she could not be trusted alone, at 9 months killed a stray dog that wandered into her yard by the time she was 3 had to pretty much be on chain all day cause she wanted to kill anything that moved that wasnt a few trust 3-5 ppl

 

When I was a kid with my first APBT on our daily walk and these punks had about a 150 pound rott and they let him go he rushed my dog from across the street my 50 pound APBT and that rott hit my took lunged for his throat latced on and was slamming that rott from one side to another like a big rag doll finally after about 2 minutes that rott was running away real fast..

 

They don't like to get bit back.....

 

Not really a fair comparison to compare a gamebred bulldog to a average rott.

 

Lol if it isn't gamebred it ain't got a shot at being called a bulldog

 

You can compare them as if you have a middle of the road bulldog, game bum type dog to your average rottie. Or your best example of a rott against the best example of a bulldog. However one wants to take it. There is nothing even about it any way you look at it since the rottie outweighs the bulldog 3x over. Yet, they will still tire and cur way faster than even an average rough cur bulldog will more time than not. That rottie is not scratching after 15 whether it's the best example you can show or the worse. JMO and I've spent a lot of time around both. The rottie will bring down a man faster since that's more up their ally than dog on dog combat is. I think history has proven time and time again why the best dog for the box is the APBT. 2 totally different breeds bred for different things and that rottie isn't built to go the distance lIke that bulldog is.. Comparing the 2 in that venue is just like comparing apples to bacon.

 

I have a video of a rot vs apbt..not really suitable for this site..but the video is 6 mins long..and the Rott gave up..I don't have anything against rotts and my best friend bred them for yrs as true working rots..but I think u guys are giving them to much credit saying they would even go for 10 mins..I've seen this more than once and never seen a rotts for over about 3-5 mins then give up..

 

Hus father is in his 50s and been breeding then for decades..he had a male named Diablo about 160 pounds and did not discriminate..if u moved the wrong way he was on you.they own alot of land and he would leave for days but always come back..I remember being in high school and this mofo came back with a baby deer still alive..I still don't know how he managed to do that

 

Nice read. One question though, how did each of you enter the homes?

 

@slim12 - thanks for sharing the data.

Which of the dogs you tested, in your view, would actually target the human - and not the equipment (sleeve/suit)?

Needless to say, big-big difference.

 

I have seen plenty of kangals vs apbt when smart kennels site was still up. More times than not the Kangal lost. The times they did win it always looked like 150+ lb dog on someone's 40lb house pet that always looked hog fat. The difference I always believed was that all those other breeds will bounce the first time things are not going their way. They don't want to be there when things aren't working out in their favor and that's the major difference between a APBT and these other breeds. It's been beat to death on here for years. Lol anyone remember the slew of APBT vs this that or the other breed that ran a muck all over this site like 2 years ago. I do cuz I had to delete like 2 a day for months. Lol.

Sorry slim I meant to quote the post you quoted with the picture of the Kangal not your post. Too lazy to fix it lol. Good post though and that would be pretty cool to have a chance to wear the suit.

Every dog has his day but all in all, more times than not, the other breed isn't scratching back. I used to watch those videos constantly and the only time the other breeds won was if they killed the smaller dog fast. If it went more than 10 minute the other breeds always packed it in.
Pound for pound, there isn't a better breed at that task. Been proven over and over again throughout the dogs history.

 

I had a friend who had a female rot and she was the sweetest dog, her name was Bella. Very docile. Love that the tail is still intact.
