Description
Dog Breed: Rottweiler (short coat). CHARLIE - 1 Year & 10 months old, 75 + pounds, house trained, dog tolerant Charlie arrived at VBACAC after he started guarding important items from his family. He is a big boy, 75+ pounds, who has bright white teeth, deep black and tan fur and a great smile. Charlie is nervous with new people but warms up quickly. I met him in the playgroup yard and he almost immediately approached me, sniffed and started licking my hands. Within a short time he would run to me after being pushed a bit too hard from another dog and sit on my feet leaning against me. He is young and needs training. We are doing some at the shelter and see this boy is eager to please you. He's smart, loves to chase tennis balls, and loves toys. Puppies use their mouths a lot and Charlie is no different. The mouthiness can be managed with training, tug toy play and treats. He can be trusted free to roam with his family but is used to a crate when left alone. He is scared of loud noises and is known to guard items he finds important. The guarding can be managed as well by an owner willing to put time in training. Charlie is dog tolerant. He does need some time getting used to other friendly well-balanced and respectful dogs. We are seeing him come out of his shell from scampering to a safe spot and growling if another dog gets too close to actually running, chasing, and playing with others. He also has moved from not allowing other dogs to sniff him to letting others get close and sniff. Charlie is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask. *Please do your research on Rottweilers and German Shepherds before considering adopting. Both have specific breed characteristics which you should make sure align with your family's lifestyle.

Overview:
The Rottweiler is a powerful and intelligent breed, originating in Germany where they were primarily used to drive cattle and guard property. Physically, they are robust dogs, instantly recognizable by their medium-large size, strong build, and striking black coat with distinct tan markings, particularly on the muzzle, chest, and legs. Their temperament, when properly socialized and trained, is one of unwavering loyalty and confidence; they are known for being calm and courageous, making them excellent guardians. While generally good with children within their own family, their protective instincts mean they require supervision with strangers. Due to their size and need for regular exercise and mental stimulation, Rottweilers are generally not ideal for apartment living and thrive in homes with secure yards. Health-wise, they can be predisposed to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions, necessitating responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary check-ups.
