WITH PROPER training and socializing, the Rottweiler can be a great family pet, companion, herding dog, tracking dog, obedience dog, etc.
They are very loyal, dedicated, loving, beautiful and intelligent.
As a rule they do not bark a lot unnecessarily and they are generally good watch dogs who will let you know when something's up.
With proper training and socializing they will enjoy and participate in nearly any outdoor activity you desire. At the same time, WHEN MATURE, a WELL EXERCISED Rottweiler is a very sedate house dog that wants nothing more than to sleep on the bed or chew on a Nylabone.
However, they are not perfect and do have their down sides.
They are not mature until after 2 years of age and the average life expectancy is only 8 - 10 years.
They are very susceptible to a wide range of cancers and they have a poor immune system (particularly when young) and need a more specialized vaccination schedule as a puppy in order to develop proper immunity.
They are also prone to contracting more viruses than the average dog, especially when fed improperly.
They are susceptible to hip dysplasia, tearing cruciate ligaments and heart problems as well as cancer. They are strong willed and need LOTS of PROPER training and socializing when young. IF you fail in your duties to select, train and socialize them properly, they can be dangerous (sometimes inadvertently) as adults. They are mouthy as puppies until properly taught bite inhibition. Puppies also tend to have temper tantrums. Similar to baby Grizzly bears!

Young dogs require a lot of very good food (poor quality food can cause health problems) SOME young males CAN require as much as 8 - 10 cups of excellent quality food per day, that's 2 - 2 1/2 lbs!
When shedding they leave black "mouse balls" everywhere.
Young dogs require a lot of exercise and need some form of work (obedience, agility, herding, etc). They can be destructive if bored or improperly housed.
They CAN be very dog aggressive especially if not spayed/neutered or if not properly socialized.
They play hard and can easily injure someone unintentionally. They also herd children and other animals and can bump, or nip them while doing so without meaning harm.
It CAN be difficult to obtain homeowner's or renters insurance if you own a Rottweiler.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen
in Chrome. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd
post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the
problem resolved soon. Cheers
