My Rottweiler Blog

With over 30 years of experience, I, Liz Gutierrez, share real-world insights on raising, training, and understanding Rottweilers. Much of what I know comes from years of learning alongside my husband, a professional Rottweiler breeder, as well as from my own personal experiences and observations. This blog is my perspective, in my own words, on this loyal, intelligent, and powerful breed.

Topics reflect lessons learned through years of responsibility mistakes success and long-term commitment to the Rottweiler breed

Real Experience. Real Rottweilers. Real Truth.

These are not assumptions or popular talking points. Instead, each topic reflects lessons learned through years of responsibility, mistakes, success, and long-term commitment to the Rottweiler breed.

The Real Rottweiler Personality – Not The Internet Version

Rottweilers are not “one-size-fits-all” dogs. I explain the true temperament of the breed, how confidence, dominance, sensitivity, and loyalty actually show up in daily life, and why misunderstanding their personality causes most owner failures.

Why the Rottweiler is Not for Everyone

Love alone does not raise a stable Rottweiler. I break down the lifestyle, mindset, structure, and consistency this breed requires, and why many well-meaning owners are simply not prepared for what a Rottweiler truly needs.

Genetics vs. Environment – The Truth No One Wants To Admit

Genetics matter, but they are no longer a convenient excuse for everything that goes wrong. I explain how environment, handling, and early decisions often outweigh bloodlines, and how owners unknowingly create the very problems they blame on genetics.

Male vs. Female Rottweilers – The Differences That Matter

Males and females are not interchangeable. I discuss the real behavioral, emotional, and developmental differences between the sexes, how they mature, and how choosing the wrong sex for your household can lead to long-term challenges.

German vs. American Rottweilers – Separating Fact From Fiction

This topic is filled with misinformation. I clarify what these labels truly mean, what they do not mean, and why focusing on geography instead of structure, temperament, and breeding purpose leads people in the wrong direction.

Runts, Shipping, and Other – Topics Breeders Avoid Discussing

I cover a wide range of misunderstood topics, including why love alone is not enough for some breeds and how early experiences such as shipping can affect a Rottweiler mentally and emotionally. These are important factors most people never consider, yet they play a critical role in long term development.
