Pitweiler - Pit Bull Rottweiler Mix

There are so many different dog breed mixes, so it's not uncommon to find funny names for some of the more common mixes. One of the popular pit bull mix breed dogs is the Rottweiler Pit Bull mix, which is more commonly referred to as the Pitweiler, Bullrott, Rottbull, Prott, RottPit, and various names in-between. But, when it all comes down to it, the Bullrott is nothing more than a Pit Bull Rottweiler mix.

This mix of dog can be a powerful dog. This mix will be an emotional dog, loving, and affectionate. This mix will be loyal, noble, and very goofy. The Pitweiler will have a great temperament, especially as long as it is socialized at a young age.

A Pit Bull Rottweiler will have a tendency to have high energy and dominance concerns. Being that both breeds are great with children, you'll find that the mix will also be great with kids, but with any large breed dog, you'll want to make sure that you don't leave any young child unsupervised with this mix.

As for looks and the overall appearance of a Rottbull, you'll find that as a mix, the appearance will vary. The overall appearance, will be strong, powerful, and  pronounced. The dog will weigh about 45 to 100 pounds, and will have short hair, large muscles, and large feet.

The health issues will vary, as this is a mix breed dog, but you can average the health concerns by those of the parent breeds- Pit Bull and Rottie. Hip dysplasia, chicken allergies, and dry skin, are potential health problems to keep in mind.


The average lifespan will vary between 10 to 15 years.


If you think that you want to bring a pit bull rottweiler mix into your home, check your local shelter for something like what you're looking for. As with any dog breeds and mixes, shelters and rescues are always going to be your best place to look first.

I have this mix and got her from a shelter at age 2. She was a bit difficult to train at first. Confident and headstrong. But she came around with persistence by the owner, regular exercise and lots of love. A very loving dog, good with my kids although perhaps a little rough with little ones. I watch her carefully around small children just for her exuberance. When I got her she was slightly unstable--could be fearful/aggressive of men and being "surprised" but that is all gone now. She is barely interested in leaving the couch to see who is at the door. Best thing: regular exercise.

My sister, husband and sister in law and her dog we just attacked by two pitweler's on Monday. The little dog who was on his leash being walked may not live. The three adults are now a mess and are terribly freightened by the sight of a dog. Not sure why they attacked them but they did. If you have dogs like this please make sure you take care of them and make sure they can not get out of your home or yard

Im So sorry to hear that, i hope that, theut dog will survive, but i i in inly can say this that in every Dog Breed there are Bad and Good DogsD.. "IT'S DEPENDS SO MUCH HOW A OWNER RAISED THEM" Person can have Tinny small Puddle but With so much Aggression that will attack anything and anyone Except their Family, (SOMETIMES THEY ATTACK EVEN INSIDE THE FAMILY) EXCEPT THEIR OWNERSO... THE DOG LIVES BY PACK RULES, AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SHOW TO ANY DOG THAT INSIDE THE PACK (YOUR FAMILY) YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER "SO CALLED ALFA THE OACK LEADER" IF YOU LET THE DOG TO TAKE CONTROL. AND LET IT DO ANYTHING IT WANTS, TRUST ME IT WILL LITERALLY DO ANYTHING IT FEELS IT'S RIGHT, (INCLUDING PROTECTING THE TERITOTER, PROTECTING THE OWNER KR JUST TO SHOW THAT HE IS THE DOMINANT) THATS WHY MOSTLY PROBLEMATIC DOGSD COME FROM PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EDUCATE THE DOG OR JUST DONG CARE ABOUT DOING ALL THAT!!! (THEY JUST WANT TO HAVE DOG BUT NOT TO HAVE ANY TRAINING INVOLVED WHILE RAISING IT)
I HAVE MYSELF "AMERICAN BULLY & ROTTWEILER MIX" BUT I MADE SO MUCH RESEARCH BEFORE BRINGIN HIM HOME, AND I MADE SURE WHEN I GOT TIM HE WAS ONLY 6 WEEKS OLD, SO I COULS HAVE RAISED HIM EXACTLY THE WAY I WANT HIM TO BE. RIGHT NOW HE IS 18 MONTHS OLD, MAYBE HE IS NOT 100% matured but i i made sure he goes out every single day and Socializes with people on the street and Dogs in the park. ( Even tho its cold, but i know its for hes own good when he will grow up) because i love him like my own babe, he sleeps right between me and my GF, getting under the blanket and putting his head on the pillow just like we do) he trying to copy everything he is so cute. But i really understand where u ckming from, and its all about Owner not the Dog!!!
