Each one has their pros and cons just depends on what your looking for. I'm a Rottie fan personally, but I won't pass a "good" Dobie.

Which one would you guys want to be at your side when a wolf,thug or any kind of danger approches you?

Rottweiler

... or mother-in-law, it can be hard to tell the difference.

Sorry I havent posted to much on this one Ive owned rottweilers my entire life and it was the ONLY dog growing up my mom would own...if it wasn't so hard to find decent ones id probably own one, they are super dominant and need a good owner il tell you that..but mine were clingy and smart..didnt bark too much and when they did it was normally worth looking outside (one time a kid was going around checking car door handles my old boy didnt like that) ive always heard Dobermans have worst health issues but TBH they are both in poor shape...My rotti died in 2007 at 12 ..so not bad but good luck finding that too often..

If a rotti barks you should see what he is barking about. In my case with the Rott/Chow I really better look as Chows almost never bark. They bark a little more now that Jade is here. She barks at a cat 100 yards away.

I used to have 2 rotties and my neighbor had 2 dobs they would play together all the time and the rotts would abuse the dobs in a playful way...I'll take the rottie hands down

I own rottweiler but i would go for a dobe cause they were created for personal protection,more athletic,have more stamina and would give you extra time to get help and to me they look more intimidating.How about you guys?

 

[DMikeM]

Having been bit by Dobermans twice and only having surface wounds and a few stitches I would still go for the rottie. Seeing Dozer destroy a mans hamstring through a hiking boot with one bite tells me all I need to know about Rottie bite force and ability to protect. The Rottie was a cart dog but it was also the money keeper, they are known world round as personal and home protection dogs.

Than why most special forces uses doberman or german shephard in the operations or war.I never saw a rottweiler.So are you saying that doberman's bite is much weeker than rottweilers?Sorry for my weak english.

Rottweiler's have a tendency to overheat faster than Dobermans and GSD's. Dobermans and GSD's also have slightly more stamina and have better body shapes to carry them over obstacles like walls or barriers.

Rottweilers have a much higher bite strength, wider mouth and head gives them a bite advantage, but as Kelsey said they have other disadvantages due to climate and build. When my Doberman bit my arm after being attacked by a raccoon (I don't fault him he was in shock and blinded). I got some punctures and the skin pulled from the muscle but no tears. He did rip my finger open to the bone though. When my Rotti/Chow bit my attacker in my home he went through the boot and tore the hamstring away from the mans heel, then bit the calf and tore open the leg and muscle. This from a not even pure Rottweiler of only 110 lbs (50kg)

Oh MY! Were their any reprocutions for your dog because he attacked that man? Or was it ruled "Just Cause" because it was an intruder?

 

[DMikeM]

Nope no problems. He was not an intruder but a girlfriends ex boyfriend at a small house party. He smashed a chair over my back and I threw him on the floor and was about to pound him when he started screaming then I heard Dozer growling and looked back, this was when he grabbed the guys calf and tore it open. I told him I wouldn't press charges if he wouldn't but the doctor called the police and reported the bite. When they questioned the guy he told the truth and since my dogs were vaccinated and registered they were not quarantined and the police felt it was the other guys stupidity that got him bit. The whole thing was pretty nasty all around.

Well I am glad the whole situation worked out for the best!

I think the dobe didn't bite you with all its force,cause i've seen what damage they can do when they bite.They will just pull away your muscles from your bone.but the rott actually gives bone crushing bite,but sadly they are smaller in size than dobes.

There are more gsd in us,uk,bd,indian army than malis.Check for yourself.Malis are actually getting more faborable day by day but still a fact is fact.

 

[Tiger12490]

LoL I live in the U.S have trained in all those countries and thats BS and your wrong my police department has 5 cop dogs and 1 is a GS... I was in the Marine corp and they DO NOT USE SHEPHERDS anymore there are residual but there aren't too many up in coming shepherds around...i know they guy who breeds dogs for the SEALs.. the dog with them when they caught Bin Laden (was a mali BTW) he doesn't train Shepherds...There are people who will train the occasional shepherd but they are a DYING WORKING BREED.I did check for myself lol I know these people lol....and noone really uses Dobies at all good luck going to the Dobie community and getting them to even talk about bitework

Here in Canada (At least in Alberta) we are still using GSD's. I saw 3 police GSD's just the other day.
