New Rottland History
The New Rottland is a mix between the Rottweiler and the Labrador Retriever. The mix is commonly referred to as a “Rottweiler Lab” or a “Labrador Mix”. The history of the mixed Rottweiler and Labrador goes back to the 70s, when several breeders of Rotties and Labs began interbreeding the two. The intention was to create a border collie-type working dog, but the resulting pups weren’t that good.

New Rottland Temperament and Behaviour
The New Rottweiler is intelligent, fearless, and loyal to their owners. They are very protective of their families, but are also very friendly and affectionate. They enjoy being with their pet parents and will be very attached to them, even to the point of being a bit needy.
New Rottland Activity Requirements
The New Rottweiler is a relatively new offshoot of the original Dutch and American Rottweilers. They were developed to be larger, heavier, and more powerful in order to better handle livestock. While they are not as high-energy as some other large breeds, New Rotties still require regular exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. They are happiest when they have a job to do. While they don’t necessarily need a yard, they do need lots of room to move around. They also like to be with their families, which means they need to be inside with their humans. If you are looking for a dog that will be content to lie around the house all day, the New Rottweiler is not a good fit. They do best in homes where they are given a job to do and where they are welcome to be part of the pack.
