Toy Rottweiler Breed Standard
General Description
The Toy Rottweiler has a compact muscular body. The head is broad with a rounded forehead. The muzzle is well-developed. The eyes are dark and almond-shaped.The ears are triangular, carried forward. The tail was originally docked however following in the worldwide movement away from tail docking, the Toy Rottweiler tails are now docked only by about 50% of breeders.
The Toy Rottweiler should resemble a Rottweiler in miniature with a slightly more refined and athletic structure allowing a healthy and active little dog.
The common Toy Rottweiler coloration is a black base with tan, cream or red agouti points. Lending variation to color the breed has also been developed in dilute and chocolate with the appropriately matched color points.
Due to the breeding just nearing it’s second decade of development there are some mis-markings which still appear in coloration, white markings on the chest, feet etc.. These dogs should be allowed registration, but only used in breeding if the overall temperament, conformation and health of that dog brings overall quality to the breed development.

The Toy Rottweiler is loyal, trainable, courageous, and devoted to their owner and family. They want to be with people. Being a companion breed, temperament of breeding stock has been kept in high priority. Toy Rotties are entertaining, learn tricks easily, and will make you laugh!
Size
Weight: 5-20 pounds with focus on an overall balanced animal rather than height.
Health
The breed development began in 2002 and there have not been genetic health issues. Early testing was done on breeding stock as initially selected for improvement of the breed.
History
The Toy Rottweiler was originally started in 2002 as part of the Pocket Bear breed developed by the the Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle Foundation breeders. Only child safe breeds were used that were stable in temperament and were not snappish.
In 2010 it was decided that the dogs of small Rottweiler type be separated into their own breed, the Toy Rottweiler. The Get-A-Wag program was founded in 2010. Their team of breeders early recognized the gentle nature of their dogs ideally suited them to be therapy dogs and put these pups into the homes of special need kids and adults to increase public awareness that these dogs make ideal Emotional Support Animals.
A companion breed of toy grouping
The Toy Rottweiler will do fine in an apartment. Their small size makes them a great alternative for someone who loves the larger Rottweiler but cannot have a large breed dog for various reasons.
