Rottweiler and Siberian Husky The Rottsky is a highly active dog that will require plenty of exercises and a job to do to keep them from misbehaving. This dog is perfect for someone with a large family or several acres of land that it can run on to burn off its excess energy. It usually has any of the colors available in either breed, and it keeps the wide head and broad muzzle of the Rottweiler.
- Golden Rottie (Golden Retriever x Rottweiler Mix)

Rottweiler and Border Collie The Borderwieler is one of the newer mixed breeds, and there isn’t much we know about them yet.

In addition, it has a medium-length coat that often resembles the Rottweiler, and it has plenty of energy that will require time set aside each day playing.

- Rotthuahuia

Rottweiler and Chihuahua The Rotthuahua is smaller than many of the other mixes on this list, and on occasion, it can get quite small if the body takes after the Chihuahua parent more than the Rottweiler. These dogs are better suited to an experienced owner because the Chihuahua parent can cause this breed to be stubborn and difficult to train. However, with the proper training, these dogs make wonderful pets.

A post shared by Moo & Theo (@moo_and_theo)
Rottweiler and Dalmation The Rottmation is an interesting breed with a tall and slim body. It’s a low-maintenance dog that can often weigh up to 100 pounds. It makes an excellent watchdog but will prefer to play with small children if any are available. It’s smart and easy to train, but it does not like being left alone too long and doing so will usually cause it to become destructive, tearing up furniture and pillows.
Summary As you can see, there are several different mixed breeds available, and new ones come out every day. If you are looking for a new pet, we recommend the Golden Rottie or the Pugweiler as both dogs are extremely affectionate and will make a great pet for your home without barking a lot or having a tendency to get into mischief. However, if you have experience and patience, we’re sure you would be happy with any of the dogs on this list. We hope you have enjoyed reading over this list and found a few breeds you hadn’t heard of before. If we have helped you choose your next pet, please share these Rottweiler mixes on Facebook and Twitter.
