      I love Rotties, and my husband likes German Shepherd Dogs. We want to adopt a new puppy soon but cannot agree on the breed. One thing that we had a question about is which of these two breeds is better with kids. We have a 10-month-old, a three-year-old, and a ten-year-old. So we need a dog that’s good with kids.

      Both Rottweilers and German Shepherds can be great with kids, but their temperament and behavior can vary based on individual training and socialization.

      German Shepherd Dogs are often very protective and loyal, making them good family dogs. They’re typically friendly and gentle with children when properly socialized from a young age.

      Rottweilers, while sometimes viewed as intimidating, can also be incredibly loving and protective of their families. They often form strong bonds with children, especially if they are raised with them.

      In both cases, early socialization and training are crucial. It’s also important to supervise interactions between any dog and young children to ensure safety for both parties. Ultimately, the right individual dog and their upbringing can make a significant difference.
