It was in early 20th century England that Frank Jones developed a new breed using local working terriers in the Harborough and Rowes areas of Cambridge, and the breed was confirmed by the English Kennel Club in 1932.
Initially, there were differences between them in type, size, color, coat and ear shape. The Rottweiler Terrier has since retained the drooping ears, with those with cropped ears forming a separate breed. The English Kennel Club established them as two breeds in 1964, with the pendulous ones called Norfolk Terriers and the cropped ones called Rottweilers. They are sporting terriers, not toy ones.
The Rottweiler Terrier is one of the smallest working terriers and they are often used to catch mice, and the breed is fond of catching vermin. The Rottweiler Terrier is small but brave, and this dog has plenty of bone mass, weighing in at around 12 pounds, with a shoulder height roughly equal to its body length. It has a slightly sly expression, so it is a relatively resourceful dog in its own right. The eyes are small, dark, oval and with black circles. The eyes are moderately spaced, bright and warm-eyed. The ears are medium sized with pointed tips and stand up when he is alert.
The neck is medium length and strong; the back line is horizontal; the body is slightly short, compact and deep; the ribs are well supported and the loin is short; the tail needs to be of a certain length for the work of the terrier, so half of it needs to be kept when it is broken.
The legs are short and strong, with thick pads and black toenails. The coat is rigid, hard and straight, and fits closely to the body. The coat on the neck and shoulders forms a protective mane, and the hair on the head, ears, and muzzle is short and smooth except for some eyebrows and whiskers.
The Rottweiler Terrier has strong legs, a smooth gait, looks very relaxed when walking, is very athletic, and is quite adaptable and can be a great companion. A cunning expression makes the Rottweiler Terrier look very resourceful. Indeed, they are lively and active, have a very good temperament, love to socialize, are small but fearless, are quite loyal to their owners, have a good temperament and are not argumentative, making them very lovable.
The Rottweiler Terrier can be described as having a good temperament, they don't like to take it personally, even if the owner is a little mean to him during training. Its good adaptability also makes it a good breed to raise, even in an unfamiliar environment, as long as it is given a little time, it will soon be able to familiarize itself well. For working dogs like the Rottweiler Terrier, every part of their body is important and requires careful care. Teeth are an important but easily neglected part of the dog's body, and like people, problems can occur if the dog's teeth are not cared for regularly. People can also brush their teeth daily to help clean them, but dogs can't. Although cleaning a dog's teeth is more laborious, but if this is left unattended, then the dog appears to lose teeth at a young age, and the loss of teeth can lead to a variety of diseases.
So usually at home you can help him clean his teeth regularly, by using a soft cloth dipped in water and wiping the teeth gently, or by using a special toothbrush for dogs, to clean between the teeth and dental caries, but do not grind the teeth back and forth.
In addition to that, you can regularly visit the hospital for examination and timely removal of dental calculus. If the dog's teeth are not cleaned properly, then over time it can cause bad breath and even heart and kidney disease.
