Honest review: the Rottweiler is wonderful but definitely not for everyone

I want to give an honest review because I think there's a lot of romanticization of the Rottweiler breed online. Yes, playful with family. And trainable with consistency is genuinely lovely.

But here's the reality: heavy and powerful. This is not a small thing — it genuinely impacts daily life. high insurance costs also caught me off guard. I've had to rearrange my schedule significantly.

The health considerations are real too. cruciate ligament tears. I've spent more at the vet than I budgeted for.

Three stars because the pros and cons feel about equal for my lifestyle. If you're the right fit for this breed, they'll give you 5-star love. Just make sure you're that person first.
