Springer Rottie

Springer Rottie History

The Springer Rottweiler is a newer hybrid or designer breed of canine. The Springer Rottweiler is a mix between the English springer spaniel and the German Rottweiler. The origins of the Springador are unclear, but the name “Springer” most likely came from the fact that it is a mix between a Spaniel and a Rottweiler. The mix of the two breeds came about when breeders began to combine their two favorite breeds to produce a dog that was better able to hunt. In 2000, the Kennel Club recognized the Springador as a distinct breed. The Springer Rottie is a medium to large sized dog, with males typically measuring 24-27 inches in height and weighing between 80-100 pounds. Females are typically smaller, with males measuring 22-25 inches and females measuring 19-22 inches.

Springer Rottie Activity Requirements

Springer Rottweilers are a fairly new hybrid breed of dog. They are a cross between the German Rottweiler and the American Staffordshire Terrier. They are a popular pet and do well in homes with big yards. Springer Rotties are not a very active breed. They can tolerate moderate amounts of exercise and will do well with a daily walk. They also respond well to puzzle toys that will keep them mentally stimulated. While they are not as high-energy as some other dogs, a Springer Rottie still needs daily walks and time outside. Like most dogs, they can be destructive when left home alone. Be sure to consider their activity level when deciding if this is the right dog for you.
