They are confident, brave, and assertive. However, they can be wary of strangers.

Rottweilers are large and powerful, but despite their size, they are known for being friendly and gentle. They are intelligent and eager to please, which makes them easy to train. Because of their size and strength, they do require regular exercise. A daily walk or jog will keep a Rottweiler happy and healthy. While they enjoy playing outside, they are also content to lie around the house. As long as they have plenty of opportunities for exercise and attention, they will be happy.
