User added info
Some tend to have the long legs and lean body of a Doberman Pinscher and others favor the bodies of the Rottweiler. Most tend to have Doberman faces and very heavy chest.
This breed gets a long well with children and cats if properly socialized from birth. They are very smart and easy to train. They occasionally bark when playing. They may also bark protectively when a guest is at the door. They are an extremely family oriented dog, always alert and protective. They are also known to be loyal and intelligent. They are not as nervous as a Doberman, but do require a lot of human affection and attention. They need daily exercise to prevent anxiety and destructive behavior. Toys will help with chewing.
This breed needs plenty of space and daily runs. A daily trip to the dog park should burn excess energy. Proper training is a must. Start leash training from puppy-hood in order to get the dog under voice command when it's older. This breed requires a firm but gentle pack-leader. Exercise is a must to prevent unwanted behavior.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
I have a rotterman of nearly 7months now, and i haven't cuted his ears or his tail. I think its not needed and the dog looks not very aggressive. I have also discussed with some other people who own dogs, and they told me that the ears of their dogs get very dirty every day, and if they don't clean them up the dog risks to have a lot of pain and maybe an infection. so don't make anymore changes to your puppy. and the ears need to be blended for 2-3weeks, and the doc needs to see them.
Lucky is a 2-3 year old Rotterman who lives with Charlie, another Rotterman we rescued about 9 months after Lucky. They appeared to recognize one another and we believe they may be from the same litter. These are great dogs that were easy to train and great with older kids.

Best dog I ever had. Passed away recently and can never be replaced. Smartest do I have ever seen. Great with kids and babies. Our 4 year old girl kept him occupied and he loved every minute. Definately a dog for a family. I can not think of one negative thing to say about our Rotterman. So gentle with everyone he met even at 111lbs

Description:
Tyten is a 2 1/2 year old, well trained, true-cross Rotterman of a bloodline known as Omikyah. He has the speed of a Doberman and the power of a Rottweiler and the extreme drive and resolute temperament of both. Though the Doberman Pinscher has always been my breed of choice, I have trully come to love the Rotterman; in my opinion they are definitely a 21st Century addition to the Working Dog Class and a hybrid masterpiece!

Age :

Name:
Mira
Color:
Black and tan
Description:
About 55 lbs, Mira is an energetic and loving Rotterman (so I suspect) rescued from the Yavapai Humane Society (Arizona). She loves to run, FAST, and play tug of war. She loves to chase and track, always aware of her surroundings. She gets along with everyone and everything-- kids, cats, dogs-- everything except vacuum cleaners! She barks, occasionally, when she sees something in the dark outside the house or is nervous of something, i.e. an object that startled her as it fell and crashed or a stand-offish cat that hisses when she tries to say hello. She is prone to fits of destructive anxiety (chewing, going through garbages, etc.) if she is not given adequate attention and exercise on a daily basis, though this is her only shortcoming.
