Rottweiler Performance
Rottweiler breeding aims at a vigorous dog that, though powerful in general appearance, is not lacking in refinement and is particularly suitable as a companion, guard, and utility dog.
It is above the middle size, sturdy, slightly elongated, stocky, and powerfully built. The body length should exceed the height at the withers by 15% at most. That corresponds to a ratio of 10:9.1 and 10:8.7. In the case of a dog 65cm high at the withers that represents a length of 71.5 to 74.5 cm.
The Rottweiler is a trotter. In motion, the back remains firm and relatively still. The course of motion is harmonious, secure, powerful, and unchecked with a good length of stride.
The body of the dog is adapted in its construction to forward motion, for which reason the center of gravity of the whole body lies in the front half of the trunk. Trotting is the kind of gait in which the center of gravity of the body is supported exclusively by diagonal pairs of limbs and these always move synchronously, ie. are approximately in the same phase at each moment in the course of motion. In trotting, the trunk is propelled forward by powerful muscular contraction, whereby motion experiences considerable acceleration. In this, the musculature of the trunk, and especially of the back and neck, play an essential part by tightening the spinal column, which is flexible in the dog, and taking part in the synchronous interaction of the diagonal limits. As the latter throws the center of gravity constantly forward in a straight line, sideways swinging movements of the trunk are absent in trotting, while the back remains relatively still.
Faults of appearance can blur and distort the image typical of the breed. Such faults include a general appearance that is light and lacking in substance, and a body which too long, too short, or too narrow. There should not be a lack of refinement. Refinement implies in the dog, descent from forebears which rose above the average in form and working performance. A dog with refinement is also one that is beautiful, noble, and proud-looking. Size is not the main feature of the refined dog, but beautiful clear outlines and a harmoniously proportioned body. Refinement does not express itself only in the form, but also in posture and character. Temperament without pushiness, courage without wildness, friendliness with a touch of the reserve.
The results of breeding are presented at shows and taken together, they reflect the status of the breed. Here we find that within the range of variations among the top animals, the type leans more towards the upper limit so far as substance is concerned. It is often massiveness that strikes one. Body weight approaches the limit where pleasure in work, agility, endurance and finally health as well as character attributes are unfavorably affected.

If a Rottweiler is producing white spots in the litters, can you rebreed the dogs?
White spots don't usually show up in litters. You may only experience 1 puppy in the entire litter to have a white spot. The next litter my not have any white spots, therefore is is ok to breed the same dogs again, but if the female produces a entire litter of white spots, then you need to do some research on your dogs pedigree and start looking to see where the trait is coming from. Some pedigrees have traits that come out all the time. If you have a male bred to several females, and each litter has white spots in more than half of the puppies, then the trait is probably coming from the male. If the same females are bred to a different males, and no white spots are present, the the male you picked is a better match for your female to reduce white chests. This means the bloodline was matched properly.
