What dog does a Rottweiler look like?
Rottweilers are blocky dogs with massive heads. Ears lie fairly tight to the head, hanging down somewhat.

Rottweilers should always be black with tan points, and the ideal coat is quite short, dense, and a bit harsh.
How do I know if my Rottweiler is purebred?
