Introduction

The English Mastweiler is a breed that may seem like it does not exist at first glance, but we dig deeper and find an interesting creation between the German Shepherd and Bullenbeisser Wolf, specifically the Rottweiler. While the term 'English' in breeder's terminology might be confusing for English-speaking people, this breed is indeed recognized by the American Kennel Association or ACK and the United Kennel Club (UKC). As a crossbreed, they embody unique characteristics but will inherit traits of their parent breeds, making ownership highly interesting. This information guide focuses on understanding these hybrid breeds and shedding light on what they could bring to those who might adopt them.

General Care

Weight Range: Generally speaking, these animals tend to weight around 95-150 pounds or more.

General Health Concerns and the Issues English Mastweilers May Face

These hybrid dogs are likely robust with a healthy body that would easily resist most health complications common to both parent breeds. However, despite the fact they are relatively healthy, there could be possibilities of certain conditions inherited from their Rottweiler and German Shepherd lineage.

Feeding your Dog:

Proper food for your Mastweil dog is essential, but since hybrid breeds typically do not experience issues like those affecting pure dogs (especially with regards to size issues), feeding amounts may remain roughly the same as those for a Standard size breed.

English Mastweilers' Behavior and Training Tips

While generally strong will power could be exhibited by this particular breed, both its gentle loving nature and loyalty might also manifest in response to discipline and education which is very positive. Their intelligent nature can help facilitate learning from positive reinforcement training methods that include food for rewards as well as clicker methods, not just basic obedience but they have enough smarts and capacity to be housebroken.
