Appearance of the Rott Pei
|
| The Rott Pei's appearance can vary according to the genetics it inherits from its parents. One thing is certain: the body is strong and well-balanced, muscular and robust. Leg length may vary, but he's strong and quick on his feet. A broad, deep chest and a powerful head, often block-shaped and quite large, are their most recognizable features. The muzzle is strong and powerful, and the teeth come together to form an impressive scissor bite. Your Rott Pei may have facial or body wrinkles inherited from the Shar Pei parent, and the color may be either black and tan like the traditional Rottweiler, or rather soft fawn or brown/gold like the Shar Pei. Ears are often high, with tips that fold back on top. Dark amber or dark brown eyes are round and alert. The coat is short to medium-length, with a rough texture. The tail is of medium length and is held fairly low or curled over the back. An attractive, muscular and impressive dog with a confident, loyal nature, the Rott Pei is a rare hybrid that proves popular with owners. |

Needs and activities of the Rott Pei
|
| The Rott Pei is a large dog that needs exercise to stay healthy and well socialized. Although he's not hyperactive, he still needs a good daily walk of about an hour, and makes an ideal companion when jogging or biking along a trail. He can be a little reserved when meeting other dogs and people, but he's a confident dog with few fears. They also like to romp in the water and are ideal playmates for older children. Their size can impress little ones, as they can easily knock them over without meaning to. The Rott Pei learns quickly and is very receptive to training. They are obedient and respectful of their masters, but need a firm hand to control them, as they are strong and confident animals. |
Maintenance of the Rott Pei
|
| The Rott Pei is a low-maintenance dog, with a medium-length coat that only needs brushing once a week. The use of a stiff bristle brush removes loose hair and keeps the coat clean and healthy. These dogs only need a bath when they're dirty, as their coats are almost self-cleaning. Using a mild dog shampoo preserves the skin's natural oils, helping the coat to withstand the elements. The Rott Pei can withstand most temperatures, as it comes from a rustic breeding program. Other maintenance issues include cleaning teeth at least twice a week and checking ears and folds for infections or sores. The Rott Pei is an attractive, loyal and affectionate dog, and a rare new hybrid breed that is gaining in popularity. |
