He is nice but there are a few things I do not like about that dog. I guess we are all sort of picky about our favorite breeds though. 
He does look nice with you Xeph.
Are you thinking about getting a Rottie truly? Wow! Who thought a Shepherd person could be swayed to the dark side.

Are show Rotts' tails supposed to be cut so short? Moose's tail is at least 3 vertebrae longer than that. I don't like that short look. I think my Moose is handsomer . I'll have to post some really good pics of him and see what the show people think.

Is it just me, or does this dog look really stout? I don't know, I haven't seen that many Rotties up close and maybe this guy is an excellent breed specimen... but in the first picture especially, he looks a little short.

I don't know what gets the show judges hot and bothered--and don't really care--but he looks pretty good to me. As in many breeds, there are different types that appeal to different subsets of fanciers. I see a pretty well balanced working dog. I'd hate to have my life depend on a 6 ft. cyclone fence keeping him off me. He could probably go over, and if not, he could probably go through.
He looks well muscled, but he'd slim down if he was worked on cattle. He doesn't look to have such a heavy frame that that would be out of the question. I'm not a fan of the Gargoyle-weilers.

Love his face. Reminds me of Inga's dog.
.. However (and not that I know anything about show dogs) to me his hind end seems out of proportion with his front. Maybe it's just because he's not standing 100% square in the first pic. He just looks a little bit front heavy.

When a Rottweiler's tail is docked it is supposed to be at the first joint making it very short. The tail is only supposed to be long enough to extend the topline, visually.
My Olivers tail is a little longer as well. He was a rescue and not a good specimen of the breed from a show perspective. That said, he is a wonderful dog and I can find no fault in his personality.
Miss Mutt, yes, I think his face looks much like my dog.
Pretty cute.I think Xeph needs to get a Rottie. What do you all think? (hint, hint)
