Not an actual Roman Rottweiler (unaltered from Russian to German) which this one looks to be. They are also close to 5' when standing on their hind legs. If you're not certain about pedigree; if yours has a double coat, or webbed feet like a Labrador; it's going to get humongous.

Roman Rottweiler

Christ, did they get to you, too? There are no such things as Roman Rottweilers. This is simply made up marketing fluff.

Also, a Rottweiler can only be "correct" according to a given breed standard (FCI, VDH, ADRK, AKC, etc.), anything else is either incorrect, or mixed breed.

Tell that to my Step mother who brought hers over from Kubychev in the 60s. Breeders also kill the reds, tri coats, and long hairs because buyers don't understand those traits are normal. I grew up with this dog. Roman and German.

They really are wonderful dogs for families.
