"Dogs in general seem to be a very pragmatic lot and the Rottweiler in particular exemplifies this, sometimes to the extreme. They tend to do what brings them pleasure and avoid what brings them displeasure. However, a good handler will recognize that this trait can be made an asset rather than a liability, for the Rottweiler's reticence to do what bores him is surpassed only by his boundless enthusiasm for doing what he enjoys."
