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

I wouldn't get either as they need room to run and can be destructive if bored.  What about a smaller mixed breed from the pound?  You'd be saving a life and would have a great companion!

Agree absolutely. No large dogs would be suitable for the premises you describe.  It may not seem 'macho' but go for a smaller breed.

I know for certain that german shepherds are high energy dogs.

I don't know about the energy level of rottweilers.

Do you HAVE to get one those dog breeds?

The responsible thing to do would be to get a dog that you can properly care for in every aspect of its life. This includes exercise, and mental stimulation. Big dogs do not do well cooped up in houses all the time.

I would recommend a smaller mixed breed also i have a german shepherd/rott mix, fortunately i have a huge back yard. I see my dog run across the yard tirelessly though out the day before and after i take her for a 3 mile run. Honestly your best bet is a smaller dog or if you can try to find a bigger place with a good sized back yard.

I would recommend a german shepard rott mix.  I got one a few months ago, we had really bad issues for the first week.  You have your good and bad days.  Since now it has been four months later he is doing awesome, and he knows i am his master and does not tread on me.  He is very gentle, very protective at the same time.  He is a family dog.  As far as walking time goes, 2 hours a day is good enough for a rott/shepard mix, i have been doing that for the last 4 months and it does wear him out.  I am training him to be a service animal, and this is the first dog i have ever attempted training.  He has never bitten me, or anyone for that matter.  When he gets some junk from the ground in his mouth i open his mouth and get it out, he doesn't like it but he does as he is told.   Remember this, dogs are very good at reading emotions, and if you project fear he is going to jump up, and get all protective and freak people out.  Stay calm, at least give off that body language and he will obey youas confidence is key.  You are his pack leader, or he walks all over you.  It is your choice.
I wish you the best of luck.  Ps.  I live in an apartment, it can work cause it works just fine for us.

I had a rottweiler/German shepard mix for about 10 years. If you dont have an area where they can run around freely and have something to do then I dont recommend it. These dogs love to run around the yard and need to have an active owner to play catch with, go on walks, etc. However, they are very loyal dogs and protective over their home and territory. My dog was very friendly when he met people behind the fence, but when they were on the outside of the fence, he wasnt very friendly. As a companion, they are great! You just can't leave them alone and bored, because they will find something to do, which leads to destruction. The first time I got him, I left him alone in the house during christmas. I got home, and the xmas tree was destroyed! Overall, great dog, I sure do miss him alot.

I would get a rottweiler/shepherd mix. Great mix!

No because it has to be outside more than 2 hours a day

Get a pure bred rottweiler, as long as you have time to walk or exercise them, I don't see any problem with that. I have a rottweiler for almost 5 years already and I live in a condo. But I have to warn you, Rottweiler is not for everybody unless you can socialize them and control them at an early age with proper training you should think twice of getting a rottweiler.

Can rottweiler and german shepherd live together in a single home??

That depends on how much devotion you are willing and/or available to give.i have one myself and they are truly a hand full but with enough patience it is worth it. Brutis is five and still acts like hes 8 months old as far as energy levels and jelousy.they are not as destructive as people say although can be if neglected for excessive periods of time,also require lots of attention all the time.as far as the exercise goes as long as he gets either one long walk or two decent walks a day hell be satisfied trust me.TUG OF WAR will be a fave and DISCIPLINE is a must and be patient you will not regret it. Truely is and has been the best dog anyone could ever ask for, if i were you i would get one they are deffinatly worth it.
