If you own a Rottweiler you've probably been asked (on more than one occasion), "Is your Rottweiler a German Rottweiler or American Rottweiler?" When I was first asked the question I was a bit baffled because I thought that there was only one kind of Rottweiler. Then the all knowing individual I was speaking to proceeded to explain to me that German Rotties were shorter, stockier and have a bigger blockier head, and American Rotties were taller and leggier without as blocky a head. (Of course, there are several variations to this mythology - American Rotties have bigger ears, German Rotties have bigger teeth, you name it someone's probably said it.)
The truth is all Rottwellers have a German back ground, and are German if they are born in Germany. American if they are born in the US. We have Florence, Co. Rotts.
US and Germany have Kennel Clubs. Like AKC and ADRK. But we breed CKC Rottweilers.
