Meet Ricky and Lisa Jones
We here at Lone Star Rotts have over twenty years experience in breeding excellent Rottweilers. We believe our Rottweilers are not just pets, they are our family. We do not personally show our dogs in events, however all our sires and dams come from champion quality bloodlines. We believe our Rottweilers should not only be bred with exceptional physical qualities in mind, but also the best of the best of temperaments. Our pups are bred to not only be your noble guardians but your lifelong family member!
We love our Rotties!
What is a Rottweiler?
The Rottweiler (/ˈrɒtwaɪlǝr/) is a breed of domestic dog, regarded as medium-to-large or large. The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rottweil butchers' dogs, because their main use was to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat to market. This continued until the mid-19th century when railways replaced droving. Although still used to herd stock in many parts of the world, Rottweilers are now also used as search and rescue dogs, guard dogs, and police dogs.

What are Rottweilers Like?
The Rottweiler is a robust working breed of great strength descended from the mastiffs of the Roman legions. A male Rottweiler will stand anywhere from 24 to 27 muscular inches at the shoulder; females run a bit smaller and lighter. The glistening, short black coat with smart rust markings add to the picture of imposing strength. A thickly muscled hindquarters powers the Rottie's effortless trotting gait. A well-bred and properly raised Rottie will be calm and confident, courageous but not unduly aggressive. The aloof demeanor these world-class guardians present to outsiders belies the playfulness, and downright silliness, that endear Rotties to their loved ones. (No one told the Rottie he's not a toy breed, so he is liable to plop onto your lap for a cuddle.) Early training and socialization will harness a Rottie's territorial instincts in a positive way.
