Should I Get A Rottweiler Or A Rottweiler/German Shepherd Mix?

I don't have a fenced backyard, so I can't let it run around outside in my backyard. Other people have answered and said none, but which one would be MORE suitable for this premises? And I will be walking him/her at least once a day if not more.

    Rottweilers make good house dogs but they need exercise  if you can't take one for  a long walk at least 2 times a day plus have plenty of chew toys for it don't get one. I have had Rottweilers as lovable pets for 30 years and couldn't ask for a better dog. Just be prepared for a bit of stubborness ,snoring, and the need for taking them everywhere possible with you while they are young. Just remember if you want them to ride in the car start them out in the back seat. Once they are used to sitting in a particular spot in the car that spot is theirs so if you want to use the front seat for passengers don't let your dog in it. If you don't  make sure they meet as many people and other animals as possible while they are puppies you are looking for trouble. Also if you get one that is not house broken make sure to pay attention to its potty habits. I had one that would come and get me one that would bark at the door one that would scratch at the door and my latest just looks at the door she doesn't make a sound and it doesn't matter if you can see her or not she will stare the door open. If possible get your yard fenced in just to make your life easier if nothing else put up a runner cable to use for short periods of time to give you both a break. I could go on for a lot longer but my other advise is to talk to your local vets look up the breeds online and also make sure your town has not outlawed Rottweilers some have. Never raise your hand to them in anger;& find a treat they think they can't live without for training you would be shocked at the things they will learn for that special cookie. Good Luck
