It isn’t such that a male Rottweiler is going to be neglected while you shower all your love on a female Rottweiler. And if that is the case, don’t buy a male Rottweiler. Simple. Apart from that, a male Rottweiler is obviously quite different from a female Rottweiler, in size, stature, and temperament. There might be slight changes in their training and diet too. All you need to do is research and find out what is it exactly that you have to do.
