Both rottweiler males and females make equally good dogs. Males are a little larger than the females. Some males mark their territory inside your house by urinating on your walls and furniture, a behavior that can be quite diffucult to stop. And because they are genetically inclined to attack, males tend to fight with other male puppies, especially with another male rottweiler. Female rottweilers also have the tendency to fight with each other, but are less likely to do so. Furthermore, female rottweilers experience what is called "estrus" or heat cycle, twice a year. Estrus lasts for three weeks, although neutering usually helps to avoid it.
When deciding which rottweiler puppy to pick out of the litter, try to choose the one with the best parents and grandparents you can find. Keep in mind that although all rottie puppies look extremely cute, their faces do change as they turn into adults. If looks are important to you, be sure that the breeder has the look that you like. You can determine how the puppies would look like as adults by looking at their parents and grandparents.
Consider the basic features of a good rottweiler. Rottweilers are very strong and muscle dogs. The puppy of your choice should display strength, speed and energy. Watching how the parents act will give you a good idea of the puppy's potential temperament. If the parents show signs of curiosity and positive energy; their puppies will more likely develop like them. In addition, puppies can have a long lifespan, if their parents have been living long...
Observe how each puppy behaves with the rest of the litter. Bossy rottweiler puppies are prone to become dominant adults. Choose the oen with a temperament that falls somewhere in between the two extremes. The puppy that curiously comes to greet you with excitement and follows you around is a probable choice. If the puppy doesn't resist to being held and stays relaxed while you lift him up should be the perfect puppy for you.
All rottie puppies look adorable. You need to spend time with as many rottweiler puppies as you can so in order to see the differences in their personalities and therefore, pick the best for you.
