Nature Of Pitbull And Rottweiler Puppies
Having Pitbull and Rottweiler for parents, these puppies are bound to be smart and dominant. They are playful and demand attention from their owners. Although they grow to be big, their goofy nature makes them adorable. They’re great with kids if trained well. But mostly, their temperament depends on that of their parents’.
Training And Exercise For Pitbull And Rottweiler Puppies
Being a highly active breed, these pups need daily mental and physical exercise. One hour every day must be spent in running or walking. You can train them to jump higher because they are natural jumpers. Also, they can be trained from an early age to pull weights.
The right person will make their already sharp reflexes even more so. They are quick learners and are highly motivated. But the trainer must know how to handle a dominant dog. Otherwise, your pup won’t accept your leadership easily. That being said, if trained well from a young age, they make great companions.
Taking Care Of Your Pitweiler
They usually are not heavy shedders (a sigh of relief!) and their coat is easy to brush. A few brushings a week will suffice for most of the year. During the shedding season, however, a brush per day would be recommended.
Brush their teeth about 4 times per week. It is essential to take care of your pup’s oral health. Bathe them every once in a while to keep the coat clean.
