According to the FCI Standard, the Rottweiler is good-natured, placid in basic disposition, very devoted,
obedient, biddable and eager to work. Their appearance is natural and rustic, their behaviour
self-assured, steady and fearless. They react to their surroundings with great alertness. The American
Kennel Club says it is basically a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that
does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is self-confident and
responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent
desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a
strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general
all-purpose dog.

Rottweilers are a powerful breed with well developed genetic herding and guarding instincts. As with any
breed, potentially dangerous behavior in Rottweilers usually results from irresponsible ownership,
abuse, neglect, or lack of socialization and training. However, the exceptional strength of the Rottweiler
is an additional risk factor not to be neglected. It is for this reason that breed experts recommend that
formal training and extensive socialization are essential for all Rottweilers. According to the AKC,
Rottweilers love their people and may behave in a clownish manner toward family and friends, but they
are also protective of their territory and do not welcome strangers until properly introduced. Obedience
training and socialization are musts.

The breed has received some negative publicity. In the US, in a 1997 report by the CDC, the Rottweiler
was listed as the second most likely breed of dog named in fatal human attacks, following Pit Bulls,
although at approximately half the rate of the Pit Bull. Breed-specific bite rates are not known, and less
responsible owners being drawn to certain breeds may be a factor. Dog related human fatalities need to
be considered in the context that there are fewer than 30 dog related fatalities in the United States each
year out of approximately 4.7 million bite incidents,  from a total dog population estimated by the
American Pet Products Association at 77.5 million dogs. A 2008 study surveying breed club members
found that while Rottweilers were average in aggressiveness (bites or bite attempts) towards owners and
other dogs, it indicated they tend to be more aggressive than average towards strangers. This
aggression appears unrelated to the fear of the dog, but is correlated with watchdog and territorial
instincts.
