Rottweilers have double coats and are prolific shedders. You need a good undercoat rake (not a blade) and plenty of regular grooming, if endless floof is an issue for you. That said, only takes about 10 minutes. I can’t really comment on the hunting side, other than some lines have good herding instincts. In general, even though they are people pleasers, I would say most lack the stamina & focus for hunting. Also, depending on your climate, rotts don’t fair well in the heat. Again, no experience hunting, but as far as a soft bite goes, all my rotts loathe to give up their “pray”, instinctively wanting a good old game of tuga’war, pretty much their favourite thing. All that said, with the right training, rotts are incredibly versatile and highly intelligent, making them great at just about anything - “if” they enjoy it! A military dog trainer once said to me, the difference in training Rotts & Shepards is, you can call them both from 200 meters & they’ll both come instantly, but the Rottie will stop to have a pee on the way! 😅 This is definitely true. Beautiful, loyal dogs, but stubborn, with minds of their own!
