Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Rottweiler / Mixed (long coat). We just can't say enough good things about Rex! REX found his BFF's at the shelter last week! He is finally getting to enjoy the playtime he had to miss when he was neutered and recovering from his surgery. He absolutely was the best with smaller female dogs, and was big brother-uncle all at the same time. We are thrilled, since that means Rex will be able to live in a multi-dog home when he goes out searching for his people. Rex is a four year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, neutered, house trained, and maybe not as fond of male dogs as female, but we have high hopes for him with correct introductions. If you’d like to meet the 70- pounder, just let us know! PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shepweiller, a robust crossbreed stemming from the German Shepherd Dog and the Rottweiler, originated from the desire to combine the intelligence and trainability of the former with the strength and loyalty of the latter. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs, typically boasting a dense, short to medium coat in black and tan, or solid black. Their temperament is generally confident, protective, and intelligent, making them excellent guard dogs and loyal companions. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial due to their strong will and protective instincts. While incredibly devoted to their families, their size and exercise needs make them less suitable for small apartments; a home with a fenced yard is ideal. As with many large breeds, potential health considerations include hip and elbow dysplasia, and they may be prone to certain cancers, so regular veterinary check-ups are important for their long-term well-being.
