The Rottle is a large, athletic mixed breed resulting from crossing a Rottweiler with a Standard Poodle. It is described as intelligent, loyal, protective, confident, affectionate, and energetic. Because it is a mixed breed, individual appearance and temperament can vary widely. The Rottle is not recognized by major kennel clubs, and its recognition status varies by registry. Estimated adult weight ranges from 27 to 57 kg, and height from 56 to 69 cm, with a lifespan estimated between 9 and 14 years. These measurements are modelled estimates, so actual size and lifespan may differ.
The Rottle is a modern designer crossbreed intentionally developed in the United States by mixing a Rottweiler with a Standard Poodle. The goal was to combine the Rottweiler's loyal guardian nature with the Poodle's high intelligence and potentially low-shedding coat qualities. However, because it is a mixed breed, coat type and shedding can vary. The Rottle is not recognized by major kennel clubs, and its recognition status varies by registry. There is no documented history of the breed's development beyond this intentional crossing, and its exact origins are not well recorded.
