I was browsing through the net one day and a came across a Long Hair Rottweiler. He looks stunning.
Just wanted to know if this is common and do they come from the same litter or do they breed this type of coat.
Hi Lina
Actually I have never seen a Rottweiler with a coat like this! I have to say he is a beautiful dog, but the Rottie breed standard calls for a short, smooth coat and this has to be exceptionally rare.
He does look all Rottweiler in every other respect, but I tend to think there must be some mixed heritage in there somewhere (maybe a generation back even) to produce this type of coat.
I doubt very much if you’ll ever see another exactly like this, or find long-haired puppies. It’s simply not how the breed was intended to look. You may be able to get a similar ‘look’ from certain mix-breed pairings though!
Thanks for sharing this picture, it’s one of a kind I think.
We’ve had 4 short haired and 1 out of the 4 hit 12, another 11(our heart dog). 2 left us at 6. We now have a long haired rott and is beautiful, very intelligent and pure bred. To me, there is no such thing as a bad gene. Somewhere along the line in the long history of Rotts, the long hair happened. They are just as beautiful, loving and loyal as the short hair. Actually, our long haired is the brightest we’ve had. We named her Shiloh as the breeder called me with the news the pups were born and Neil Diamond’s song, “Shiloh”, was playing on the radio. Thought it was perfect. A Rottie is a Rottie no matter the hair and the elitists in AKC may very well be the reason pups are murdered by breeders who won’t allow one in a litter to live. How sad for you all.

Have been the extremely proudom of 2 long haired rottsNEW by: Anonymous
Please please try to find a home for long haired rotts, mine have been wonderful and my 2nd one is 3 and healthy so far. But I have dearly loved all 5 of my rotts. They aren’t as uncommon as one might think. If you seek one keep looking, you will find one!! Alittle extra work but worth every second.

Sorry leona, your wrongNEW by: Michelle
Good morning all, To Leona,
Yes long haired rotties are not common, you may still find another. More and more ethical breeders are learning there is nothing ethical about breeding to kill puppies that are longer haired or not the AKC standard. I have met several loving human parents of long haired rotties and they like many other people wish the AKC would change their standards and leave the long hair alone. There are so many designer dogs that become accepted by the AKC why not long haired Rottweilers. And one last thing, until you own a long haired rotties you will NEVER know or understand just how much better they are verses the short haired rottties.
Always standing up for thePerfect Long Haired Rotties.

Long hair Rottweiler NEW by: Leonie Peaker.
Thanks Lynne. I cherish her so much. She’s adorable. Lisa, I’m sorry to say you won’t find one. They are not standard. Ethical registered breeders will not breed them. Mine has a recessive gene. She is pure bred with pedigree papers & champion bloodlines. I really wish they would allow them because they apparently have better personalities & I can tell you, everyone wants one!

Leonie, she IS beautiful! Cherish every moment you have with her as we all know their lives are way too short. I lost my long hair, Max, 1 1/2 years ago to bone cancer and still miss him, that one took a piece of my heart as he was such a wonderful boy, a gentle giant.

Long haired rottiNEW by: Leonie Peaker
My beautiful girl is pure bred, excellent lines & is long hair. I am very sad that she is not considered standard. She has THE most amazing personality & is the most gentle, loyal & loving dog I have ever had in my life. I dread the day anything should ever happen to her because I doubt I would ever find such a loving dog again. I love her with all of my heart & don’t know how I coped without her. She’s 2 now & super pretty. I have people contact me on Facebook wanting one just like her, but of course they won’t find one. So unfortunate I think. She’s big boned, big head, amazing muscle & simply stunning to look at. Look me up on Facebook & you will see her.

Long Hair Rotties – Important InformationNEW by: Anonymous
Just wanted to add my input on the long haired Rottens. Aside from the amazing fact that the are simply amazing, beautiful, loving and gentle. And I have owned a few over the past 20 years.
I also have had the opportunity to work with Rottweiler breeders as well.
A year and a half ago we got our newest Rotten Rottie. He is everything we love and more. However, when we decided to get another baby to fill the void in our lives after losing our last one to bone cancer at the age of six, we waited ten years before we could bring ourselves to open our hearts to let our sixth one in.
This little guy was special.We found him online and flew across several states to pick him up. We brought him home and because of my illness he was going to beging his service training immediately.
He did amazing in school and was well on his way we are very proud of him.
At 5 months old we knew something wasn’t quite right his eating was sporadic, and his coat started to turn white on his back. He looked 12 years old instead of 5 months old.
We had him to several vets, specialty’s and our best friend was a Vernon Oklahoma. We flew him to Oklahoma University to hopefully get some answers. We were devastated we didn’t know how to help him. He lost half his body weight but never lost his spirit. He was and is a fighter.
For those of you who don’t know, we had numerous tests run including a DNA test. We found out why he was so sick. He had been over vaccinated by the breeder as a newborn through 8 weeks with the Parvo ant-virus. This killed his immune system. We knew he’d been given extra. We were told he needed them because of the area he was born in Parvo was rampant in Rottweilers. Our excitement fogged our brains and stupidity over took us. Our fault.
Also an important thing is his DNA results. I won’t share them. But what I did find out from the Laboratory is the PUPPIES themselves are the only decisive Gene in determining whether they will be long or short haired coats. Meaning, doesn’t matter what the parents coats are. You can’t breed in and can’t breed it out. Don’t be fooled.
It’s like a dark haired father and a blond mother having a red haired child. The father immediately runs for a paternity test only to find out the child is his.
Our puppy is older, he has special needs. His immune system attacks and compromises itself when he is stressed or ill as well as he has to be on a special diet. He is still training to be a companion dog because he enjoys it. They love people. And everyone loves him.
He cannot have anymore vaccinations nor can he undergo anesthesia. We almost lost him during his simple neutering. His heart stopped and he had to be resucitated.
Love your Rottens, be careful where you get them. Please do your homework and don’t do as we did. Let stupid over ride our joy and love and hearts desire to give one a loving home. We do not regret our boy he is the love we were looking for but our heart breaks for him when he is not well.
Best of luck to all you spoiled Rotten Rottie Lovers!

Long hair rotties are getting more commonNEW by: Michelle
This is for the person who has never seen another long haired Rotti. I had a long hair and he was 100% Rotti. The long hair is a gene that breeders have tried to remove from the rotti line. SO SAD. No need to change something so beautiful.
I lost my long haired baby some 10years back and would love to have another, but GOD hasn’t put my next companion in my life yet. So, here hoping you get to see more and even one day be so very luck as to own one.
For the LOVE of all Rotties.

Caution with long hairsNEW by: AnonDCymous
I had a 2 1/2 yr old long hair beauty. She was the best. Had plans to train her for a therapy dog. She became ill after her vet check and vaccinations and Bravecto. With in a week her front leg swelled and she became weak, feverish, and her lymph nodes swelled. They gave here strong antibiotics and sent her home. The swelling went down but she dragged around. She stoped eating her treats and turned down ham slices. Back to vet and cortisone given. Started labored breathing and unable to control her bladder. She died two days later, Feb 16th. I believe it was the Bravecto. I also read where herding dogs should not be given heartworm medicine Heartguard because of the ingredient in it is deadly to them. Rottweilers were once considered herders. The dogs are so loveable and hard to find. So be extra careful with these wonderful babies. I miss mine so much. Would love to find another one. sciotobelle@yahoo.com

Long hair rotties are etting more commonNEW by: Michelle
I really love hearing other Rottie parents standing up for the long hair. More and more people are starting to understand that the long hair is one of the original genes and should be left alone. By breading the long hair out they have also been breeding some really great personality traits. My long haired baby (KC) was a wonderful wet mouth that loved giving love.
I am still looking for my next long haired baby. Hopefully I will be blessed soon.
Keep loving our Rotties,
Michelle

Love the long haired softies!NEW by: Liz
I too have a pedigree long haired rottweiler and I adore her, she’s not my first rotty and all of them have been soppy but if it’s possible she is even more loving and caring. She’s intelligent, playful and hugely compassionate, she adopted the puppy we got when she was two as if it was her own. Unfortunately it became very rapidly apparent that he’d already acquired Parva before we got him (unvaccinated parents + irresponsible owners) and despite every effort we lost him and she was depressed for weeks. Given a choice I don’t know how I’d ever choose between short and long haired again, they are all amazing animals but if you want extra super soppy then the beautiful long haired rottweiler might just be for you, I’m glad to see that people have stopped trying to breed the gene expression out as they might not meet show standard but they make the most amazing companions.

Breed standardNEW by: TC
No one looking for a long coat cares about breed standard and they use to be long coated. Americans tried breeding it out of them. I have Rotts with the recessive genes so usually get a couple in each litter which will have Jan 9th. They are more loving and seem to be smarter if that’s possible.
Stop the negative people who want them it’s cause they love their personality and/or look.

Long haired RottieNEW by: Zena
I too have a long haired rottie…it is a recessive gene that comes out in some litters…it does not cause any problems with the health of the dog but does not meet the breed standards that “we” have set for them…I think they areven beautiful…my Zeus is wonderful…such a lovebug..wish I could share a pic of him here
I worked with a vet, on a farm call to vaccinate their dogs I seen a litter of Saint Bernard/ Rott mix, everyone of them looked like rotts except for the long hair of the saint. They were nice looking dogs and I would have loved to have one, the whole litter was wiped out from parvo.

Hi there, your photo looks just like my baby KC. He was a long hair rottie. The only difference is KC had his tail. He was beautiful, just like your baby. Now, you asked if long hair is common, no. At least not that I have found. You also asked if long hair is something the breed for, again no. Breeders try to breed it out. So sad.
So, love your long haired baby and enjoy every day. Your Rottie is special, just like KC was.
Thanks for the pic,

Love long hairNEW by: Michelle
My best friend for 10 years was a long haired Rotti. K.C. was a 120 lb. lover that wanted only to kiss children and love his 10 lb. Toy Poodle, Frosty. I Will have another Rotti one day. I highly recommend a Rottweiler as a family companion as well as for protection. Just their size is enough of a warning, no need for additional attack training, a well loved family member will protect their family. A foot note to families that wish to let people understand, in a non threatening way, there is a rotti on the property is to put up a couple signs (in a garage window, a back door window) that invite them to play with a rotti, tell them a rotti plays here, Rottweiler play ground. It Works!

Just got a wonderful foster, who hails from Dallas, poor guy, can’t imagine a long-hair dog in that weather. . .he was found wandering the streets and made his way east, where a wonderful rescue took him in and like I said, I am his foster Mom, though I totally expect this to be a failed foster situation, as I loved him on first sight and now that he is in my home, with my other loving rescued Rottie, I am thinking he is a permanent resident, though time will tell. . .He is a bit special, has some sort of deformity with back legs, which makes him get up like a camel, but other than getting into a car and sitting, he seems to do just fine. . .love his long coat and his temperament is very reminiscent of my friend’s Grand Pyrnese (sp?). Anyway, love Rottie’s, long, short, mixed or not, a wonderful breed, who is much maligned because of bad dog parents. . .

Long hair rottisNEW by: Peter morris
Long hair rottis are the genetic throw back
When the bred was almost wiped out after ww2
To save the bred the German breeders bread them with a pyrnies dog
It is thought that the bred originated from the Romans
Our girls have been trained to muster cattle as they where bred to do and are also great company for the family when I’m away

We have a long hair Rottweiler she is 9 in October
Got her when she was 12 months old
Have met her brother !!! (same parents) different litter
He is also a long hair
Their mother had. Four litters and managed to have along hair in each litter before she was fixed
Both parents where a breeding pair,
Absolutely a neat rottie but does not like strangers on the section unless we are at home,
She is kept company by a short haired rottie,
And we could not ask for a more loving pair of dogs
We have found that breeders are putting them down rather than let them live.

Long Haired Rotties are the best…NEW by: Anonymous
Just lost my best friend, a long haired Rottie named Toby. He was a gentle, sweet, low energy dog who was my canine soul mate. I am disabled and he was with me every day for almost 13 years. I would love to eventually have another one as they have a quiet, reserved nature that suits me perfectly. Our house is so sad without Toby but when one door closes, as they say… I hope to adopt another long hair after our hearts have a bit of time to heal. If you find a log hair Rottie and have room in your life, you can’t go wrong with one of these charming old souls.

not uncommonNEW by: Dagmar
Long-haired Rotties are actually not that uncommon. They are not necessarily of mixed breed either. Most breeders don’t sell their long-haired Rotties or make it known that one showed up in their gene pool because they are not allowed in the breed standard. It used to be very common practice in Germany and I am sure in the US and around the world, that these “faulty” puppies were culled off 🙁 no one wanted the word to get out that their gene pool produced long-haired Rotties!

please don’t put down long hairsNEW by: Dawn Struble
Hello, long hairs are so so wonderful. Please sell them to people with the agreement for spay and neutering. People are looking for them. They might be a little extra work (hair) but are so worth it. This web site is full of info and can hell locate an animal or ask questions. Both of my long hairs are just so precious. And my life is just not the same without a pup. There’s nothing wrong with a long haired Rottweiler. But I loved my short haired ones also.

She was the sweetest dog and everyone loved her. I just adopted another rotti, although he is not long haired. If someone has a longhaired puppy and they are thinking of putting it to sleep, please don’t. Contact me and I will take it. I’ll make sure it is spayed/neutered so as not to pass on the gene.

Long haired RottsNEW by: Larry Illinois
I just lost my second long haired Rottweiler. Both of them were the best dogs I ever had. Sasha, and Sadie both came from short haired parents both from good registered blood lines. Sadie’s breeder said that the female she came from would throw a long haired pup about every other litter, and that it was a recessive gene from the dogs that Rottweiler’s were bread down from. He normally put down any long haired ones early and made us promise to spade and not breed her. I have always thought he was an Ass and thought some one should have put him down after having her with us for the 10 years we enjoyed with her. I’m looking for a new one and anyone who thinks that long haired Rottweilers should be put down and has one let me know I have a home for one right now.

LONG HAIRNEW by: T.C
Thanks Dawn. Folks I am a breeder and they are as pure as they can be. First off if all of you did your research most pure breds came from mixing breeds way back. The long hair comes from Burmese Mtn Dog, AKC has been trying to get rid of this gene by inbreeding dogs which is what AKC does, it’s called line breeding. It’s a practice I don’t much care for, that is why they fault the long hairs, you can show them and that is all. I have that gene cause my dog has thrown a few long hairs, people love them or hate them. Years ago my very first Rott was the long hair, hard to find now. I have 2 AKC reg rotties and do breed, I will not try to breed out the long hair. I also agree with Dawn who got her pup from me, for whatever reason the long hair gene does make them a bit sweeter if that’s possible, I think even a bit smarter.

I’m also glad I know I have a long haired rot this time. My last one wasn’t apparent til about 9 months. This one is going to be stunning. After having 5, I just think the long hairs have just a smidge sweeter personality. I’m not a show dog person or a breeder. If you find a long hair don’t be afraid. I’m having so much fun with this very smart very social sweet boy. I take him everywhere with me and even though he’s one of six pups in my kids and my homes he plays plays and plays. He also looks is so similar to my previous rot in personality and looks. I could not be happier and yes I want looking and my patience paid off. Please breeders don’t get rid of the coated or different pups. They are pure and need a good home. Just glad the last one of his litter was for me. My prayers were answered!

Long Haired RottieNEW by: Cheryl
Hi,
I just wanted to comment on the Long Hair Rottweiler. We were blessed to have a litter of Championship Rottweilers and YES, our Bitch was inseminated and out of 11 pups she gave birth to a runt male, rare long haired pup. We named Conner.
This is a very rare genetic as the breeder we worked with called an glitch in the recessive gene. It is more common than one may think. We kept him as a pet for our girls and he lived to the age of six when he developed bone cancer and he lost his battle and will to live and we let him pass.
Although sad, most breeders will humanely euthanize these pups at birth because they are not breed standard. Which is understandable if you are a breeder and you show or sell your stock.
I would love to share a picture of Conner if you wish to see him. He i stunning.
Thank you and we have owned five wonderful Rottweilers. Conners mother gave me 14 beautiful, wonderful loving years of her life to me. She lost her battle with kidney cancer in 2006. We have since not been able to add another Rottweiler to our family after losing five our hearts are simply to crushed. Yet every one I see I have the same thought, maybe it is time. When we do we will be rescuing one in need. God Bless.

I have 3 long haired AKC puppiesNEW by: Anonymous
I have a high quality litter that threw 3 long haired puppies 1 female and 2 male puppies. They are deep mahagony , large head type and 100% pure breed. We are seeking loving homes for them with limited AKC papers they are ready Sept.18th 2014. Adoption fee is $1000. They are vet checked, up to date on wormings, crate trained , very socialized and of strong Russian, Hungarian and German lines. They come with a 2 yr health guarantee and must be spayed or neutered. I will come back and add photos for people to take a look at these puppies. Serious inquires only. This is obviously a recessive gene i was not aware of in this line but none the less they are here and need loving homes .

NewNEW by: Anonymous
I have a long-haired girl. We rescued her from a shelter 10 years ago. I had never seen or heard of a long-haired rottie, so I hit the internet. This is a natural genetic mutation due to overbreeding. They are 100% full blooded rottie in every way. (It would not have made a difference to me becuase I fell in love with her face and heart the moment I laid eyes on her.)

Long Hair Rott at Milwaukee shelterNEW by: Pam G.
I found this site just now because I was browsing through the dogs listed online at Milwaukee County Animal Control and saw a long haired male Rott up for adoption. Never saw one before and Googled it to see what came up. Much to my surprise, yeah, there really are long haired Rottweilers. I’m not in the market for one but if anyone is interested in the boy at the Milwaukee County shelter – send out the alarm as like most county shelters, the dogs’ days are numbered in that place.

long hairs are pure breeds just not commonNEW by: Dawn Struble
To the comment above please research long hairs and you will concur that they are not common. It is a recessive gene and once you have one you want another. I would love another also. But you may not know they are long haired until 9 months or so. The DNA testing is not available in my area. The parents if mine were gorgeous short hairs. In two days it will be one year since mine passed and I keep holding out that I may come across another.

Money makers PT2NEW by: Anonymous
I had to split this posting to make sure it all got posted.
My point is that if you want a pet and know that you want a rotties there are many options in purchasing a puppy. Also it is up to the buyer to be informed and make the right decisions when it comes to buying a pup. There are way too many dogs that are unwanted and put down due to people not getting the right dog for them.
On this thread I have read that the reason that some rotties have long hair is because of bad people beading bad dogs and that is just plain ignorant. It is a recessive gene that can happen in almost any line of rottie pups. Nowadays DNA tests are available and if you purchase a pup, the breeders should have had these tests done on both parents. Again it is up to the buyer to do their homework.
About me…I have always neutered or spayed my dogs. I am not a BYB and my dogs have never been parents. I just got my latest rottie pup after looking for almost a year.
Sorry for this long posting but it just bothers me when I see the “professional” breeders say how great they are and how bad BYB are. The professional breeders have reasons to stop BYB and with many of them it is all about money. I have 3 dogs and it takes all my time taking care of them and loving them. So many professional breeders have 5-6 and more dogs. I would like to know how their dogs can be part of their family when you have so many. They are kept in kennels or runs and not treated like pets. They are treated like Money Makers.
Last point is that there are good and bad with both BYB breeders as well as the so called professional breeders. Make sure you do your homework about the rottie breed as well as the people you buy them from. I think we all can agree that there are way too many dogs that end up in shelters due to irresponsible buyers and sellers of rotts.

Money MakersNEW by: Anonymous
I know my comment will upset some people. First thing I want to say is that, the puppy mills are the real threat to any breed of dog. They produce inferior puppies with many genetic problems. The conditions in these puppy mills are horrid.
Now the part that will upset some. I see many postings on many forums on how bad back yard breeders(BYB) are and how they are ruining the breed. This is not entirely true. Yes some BYB’s are unethical just as some professional breeders are unethical. Over the last 30 years I have purchased many dogs, many breeds from BYB’s. If you do your homework, see the puppies, look at the lineage, spend time with the puppies and the owners, I do not see any issue with buying puppies from the RIGHT breeders. When you buy from BYB, do your homework and are looking for pets, they can be a great place to purchase a dog.
I know that many of the postings about how bad BYB’s are come from the so called professional breeders. I know many professional breeders are great people who are looking to improve the breed and are good places to purchase a puppy. I do think that one reason that some professional breeders hate BYBs is that it cuts into the money they make. They can charge huge amounts of money for a pup that is no better then you will get from a BYB. On a hole these professional breeders charge huge amounts of money, have you put a large NON REFUNDABLE deposits down on liters that many not have been conceived or not born. I hate the reservation process, you put a large deposit down in the hope you may get a puppy. The will never give your money back and will tell you that your deposit will be transferred to the next liter. I know one person who waited two years and never got a puppy.

Had two, Raven and CaesarNEW by: Anonymous
I’ve had coated rotties on both ends of the “friendly” scale.
Raven was the sweetest, sweetest rottie, but Caesar was another story. He was aloof with strangers and other dogs, and would tolerate being petted if I said it was okay. At home though, everyone thought he was a “frothing beast,” which did come in handy when our place in the country was the only one that didn’t get broken into.
People always asked if Caesar had some Newfie in him .. he didn’t; was just a very handsome coated rottie. He was average size, approximately 100 pounds. Raven was on the smallish side, 80 pounds, and she could be trusted with babies, cats, puppies, and the elderly. If someone visited us who was really afraid of rotties or dogs in general, I would get Raven out, let them spend some time with her, but also have them understand that all dogs (rotties) were not like her, and to always, always ask the dog owner’s permission before approaching/petting any dog, and especially a strange one.

Wonder if I have a long coat RottieNEW by: Ann
Hi all!~ I recently adopted a dog from a local shelter and they had him listed as a Rottie / Bernese Mountain Dog. I’m wondering though, since there aren’t many of that breed in the area he was, if he couldn’t be one of these ” long coats “. He is on the small side ( about 60 pounds ), but his body and head look just like a Rottie and nothing about him looks like any other breed. He was found as a stray in a not so great area, so maybe he could just be a poorly BYB guy? Reading the comments here, he is also the most affectionate and friendly dog I’ve ever had. Just had him certified for therapy work. Just wondering if anyone had experience with a smaller version…

Good to know I’m not the only oneNEW by: Stewart
I rescued my long haired rott Matteo from a local shelter & we love him! They told me he was a mix with a Bernese Mtn dog. Curious I had him DNA tested & it came back 100% rottie. I felt like I got gipped out of $50, but now I understand. He is allergic to corn gluten. 3 inch super thick hair & curly ears like an Aussie. I thought he was big at 110lbs when he was 2 years old, but now at 5 he’s still growing. I thought he was done but his feet got bigger again this spring & the rest if him has caught up. Yesterday at the vet he was 145lbs. Sounds like being overly friendly is common for long hairs & that’s an understatement. He spawled all over the floor at the vet & naturally expected that everyone was there to see him. He looks like a bear & occasionally lets out a grunt when he gets his boogedie on – he has endless energy & sometimes just can’t hold it in, he tries, but it’s almost like he can’t & has to run & run & run like a maniac to blow off some energy then comes back to me like ok I’m good now. LOL! He knows you have 2 hands & expects to be touched with both at all times. He likes other animals, but won’t allow them to get attention he feels belongs to him & lets them know. Love him, love him, love him! Weird tho doesn’t like camo or uniforms.

Long hair is rare but normalNEW by: Jessie
I grew up with rotts and the very first 2 i grew up with were sisters. They were both from the same litter and they were German Rottys, Buddah was a tipical short hair beautiful rotty and her sister Fuman was a long haired rotty. It isnt common but it dose happen. They were both fullblooded and and papers and all. Fuman had a litter of pups and we kept one i named him Bear and he was the only long haired pup in the bunch which we didnt know till he got a little bigger. As you know they are poof balls when they are small. 😛 Either way they are beautiful dogs 🙂

Health riskNEW by: Anonymous
Anonymous,
You may need to calm down, you sound like you may have high blood-pressure-rage.
Clearly the long-haired Rottweilers tend to be at least as good a companion as their shorthaired breed mates. Congratulations to those fortunate enough to have connected with these rare throwbacks. They can trace their wavy fetlocks to a time before standardization became more important than health.

That was my dog…NEW by: Anonymous
So much ignorance and misinformation, as usual…I have listened to ignorant comments from day none of my 35-year-ownership of this wonderful breed.
Again, this was my Rottweiler in the photo (he passed in 2009) and he was an agility CH and titled in obedience and tracking as well as being a certified therapy dog and ATTS tested. Yes he was a Rottweiler from known lines and extensive pedigree and yes he was AKC and UKC registered (limited reg) and I got him as a baby puppy from Evrmor/Shalakos lines and loved him until the day he died.
Anyone who attempts to distiguish “German” or “Roman” Rottweilers or even uses these terms is de facto ignorant about the breed. Just ignore those people, they know not of what they type. As is anyone who prattles on about registration without even knowing what that entails.
Jun 16, 2013
Just some infoNEW by: Anonymous
Although the long hair disqualifies them from being registered it doesn’t mean that it isnt full blooded. The long hair comes from a recessive trait that is generally seen more in the German/Roman heritage lines. Its just like traits that humans pass, the trait could be passed for generations before it pairs with the right one from the other dog making a long haired pup. There is nothing wrong with it unless you are wanting a AKC registered rottie that you can show… it makes no difference to how they act or anything. I have one and he’s amazing, I do get him shaved tho because his coat is so thick and he looks just like a short hair rottie.

Long Hair Rotties TempermentNEW by: Dawn Struble
I have written before, Titan from Iowa, which is why only one shaving a year, except for his hind legs which looked like the feathering of a golden retreiver. He was the town greeter, no need for a leash he stayed with me unless a human was around, then he had to go greet them, squirrel, rabbit or cat I could stop him. But humans had to pet him. It got to be a joke and everyone knew him. He made alot of friends. Its very lonely walking without my little boy who was 152 lbs at his heaviest, 110 lbs before steriods for allergies, and 132 for years and at the time of his death. Pro Pac was the best food for his allergies and my children who have 2 german shepards, one doberman and one boxer, all are one PRO PAC and look amazing.

in addition. NEW by: Christin
i forgot to mention, Tessa has the best personality of any of her siblings, or most other Rotts I have met. she is what i like to call ” stupid happy”. She has a permanent smile, and is constantly wagging her butt. She has been the easiest dog to train. She is 3.5 years old, and I have never heard her growl at anything, ever. everyone and everything is her best friend, according to her 🙂 She is a ball of energy, and a bit ADD, but I definitely made the best choice in keeping her 🙂 Extra friendliness seems to be a common trait of long hairs. For this reason, I wish they were breedable within the registry.. Maybe we could change the ignorant stigma against Rotties if more dogs with their personality were available..

Long Haired Rottweilers.NEW by: Marie
I have been raising wonderful healthy Rottweilers for 25 years now. This is my first experience with long haired puppies. I was unaware of the existance of this coat and thought my puppies would lose it once they shed their puppy coat. Before I realized what they were I already found a home for my male puppy. i kept the female. She is one of the most wonderful dogs in this breed I have ever had. She’s sweet, gentle, huge I might add. Not as bullheaded as some of the other Rotts. I love her. I feel anyone who wishes to experience these wonderful dogs should have that opportunity. I feel the term unethical should apply to the mixed breeds such as morkie-poo’s and so forth. When I was a kid…mutts were free! To view my female go to www.camarrrorottweilers.webs.com

Long hair rottiNEW by: Dog lover
Hello,
Awhile back at a job site a rotti came to us and the next day again, so we took him in and no one knew whose it was. He weights 140pds. He’s a beast! Very kind! Everyone loves him! I was always confused that he had long hair and kinda reminded me of a St. Bernard. But he was clearly rotti and cropped tail already. So reading this I guess there is such thing. My vet checked him out and said he was neutered. I got a Doberman that’s a show breed. And to my surprise she was prego. So confused because no way, he was neutered. Apparently the vet was wrong and wasn’t so know I have 10 pups. Now I’m going to see if any has long hair.

long hair rottweilerNEW by: Dawn Struble
I got a very cute fuzzy puppy in 2002. This would be my forth rottweiler. By 9 months of age it was quite clear his hair just kept growing. I called from where I got him and asked if any of the other pups had long hair, I was told no. Research at the time said it was a recessive gene from long ago. He did have some serious allergies. I figured that was from the long hair. As I read that is not the consensus. He was well mannered and kind. We absolutely would get another. I do not think you can tell they are long haired when puppies but the new DNA test would be fantastic. We also shaved ours every spring he was much more comfortable. He lived almost 11 years with old age as his cause of death. If I could have cloned him I would have without the allergies. RIP Titan

Long hair rottieNEW by: Linda
I too have a long hair Rottweiler. His name is Otto, and one of the smartest sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. We shave him every few months and his fur is puppy soft, long or shaved, at 4 1/2 years old. Too bad that the long hair is an undesirable trait because I’ve had countless people asking where I bought him and even inquires to breed him!(He is fixed)

Long-haired RottweilersNEW by: Anonymous
These long-coated Rottweilers may hold one of the keys to strengthening the breed.
Many of the health problems and weaknesses in dog breeds come from an arrogance in unnatural selection…breeding for desired traits without an abiding care for the genetic diversity with which all animals naturally improve their immune systems, adaptability, performance, and overall health.
The same throwback traits which cause the long coat may be connected with traits that can help the breed …and maybe they are actually better than the vaunted standard.

That was my dog and…NEW by: Carina
I was the owner of the dog in the photo.
It is not necessarily the fault of “bad” breeders – as stated, this dog came from an extremely reputable breeder but in 2000 there were no DNA tests to determine whether sire and/or dam carried the recessive gene for a long coat. Both his sire and dam were beautiful, multi-titled and show-quality Rottweilers with perfectly correct coats – there was no way to know that the recessive gene for the rough coat existed at the time.
Now there is, thanks in small part by my dog who contributed DNA to an MSU study that identified the gene and developed a test for it. 🙂

Long Haired RottieNEW by: Anonymous
Long hair on a rottie is NOT something that is bred for, as it is not the standard. These types of dogs are typically produced by unethical breeders, who are looking to turn a quick buck, with little emphasis on good breeding practices.

That was my dogNEW by: carina
That was Cooper and YES he was a pure bred Rottweiler with a (limited) AKC registration. An Evrmor U R The One (call name Duke) son. Dam a Shalako Rottweiler. Google kennel names & see these are most definitely reputable.
He was also an agility champion, titled in obedience and a TDI therapy dog. Best dog I ever owned: smart, wise, strong, strong personality. Coat was a nuisance to keep up, though it looked stunning and he was a real head turner! He died of bone cancer in 2008. 🙁

Long Haired RottweilerNEW by: Paul Courville
I have a beautiful rottweiler girlie girl named Lola, she’s three… I thought it was about time that she had a live-in playmate so I found a beautiful 11 month old male at a local Rottweiler rescue. I thought it was odd that his coat was a TINY bit longer than Lola’s but now at 15 months old it’s about 3 inches long and he is the smartest Rottweiler I’ve ever seen.. He is a little bit spoiled (aren’t they all?) cute as can be and he’s a very gentle giant of around 100+lbs and that damn hair still feels like puppy fuzz rather than anything else and he is as handsome as any boy can be… Long hair on a Rottweiler IS a non-standard trait, but then again my long haired boy Rocko is well above the “standard” in intelligence, gentleness, energy and attitude.

We have just had a litter 2girls 1boy. The Girls are short/standard coat and the boy is a long hair. Both Parents are canadian kennel club / American Kennel Club registered and both have dna cert, so imagine the surprise whn this beautiful fuzzy boy showed up. He is wonderful gentle with his mouth always watching you and ready to play and oh yah he is gorgeous. He can not be bred but is registered with ckc. I can’t wait to see him grow up.

Max came to us from people in Maryland who claimed they did not have time for him; their loss! He has THE most wonderful dis position, I wish I could clone him. He is a gentle giant, very light on his feet but does not realize how big he is. He was originally found in D.C.

my long hairNEW by: Matty
My first rotti female ended up being long hair. She was purchased from a reputable breeder. After doing research, it is a recessive gene.
She was the most loving and devoted dog i ever had. Unfortunately at age 8, i had to put her down because she had bone cancer.
RIP Bear….

RareNEW by: Lina
I came across a link about long haired Rottweilers. Have a read.
Sue – you have one more photo to add in your RARE rottweilers section 😀
few options which can result in this
1) a recessed gene – may be the other pups from same litter may not be same and with short coats
2) mix breeding – any another breed mix up along the blood lines. a tibetan mastiff combination with rotty 😀
