Behavior

The Rottsky is a very active and determined dog breed. It needs a lot of exercise and mental challenges to stay healthy and happy.

This breed enjoys activities like long walks and runs, but they also enjoy other things like sledding, Schutzhund classes, obedience, or agility training. However, it may be difficult to persuade them to start swimming or participating in water sports.

These dogs are very courageous and determined, which makes them great at hunting, protecting, watching, and guarding. They are very smart and eager to make people happy, which means they can learn things easily. To avoid getting bored and doing bad things, it's important for active people to do plenty of exercise and keep their minds busy.

Rottsky dogs are very loyal to their families and have a natural instinct to protect them. They make great watchdogs and will quickly let their owners know if there is a danger nearby.

However, because they like to do things their own way and have a strong sense of determination, it can be difficult to train them. So, it's really important to make clear rules and limits right from the start to stop behavior problems.

These dogs really enjoy being around people and love spending time with their owners.

Making sure they interact well with other people and animals can help them become good with kids and other pets.

Because Rottsky dogs have Siberian Husky ancestry, they might really want to chase and catch small animals such as squirrels or rabbits. However, if trained and introduced to other people and animals, they can be great friends for a caring family.
