Hi mother has a female rottwieler she's great with kids. My mums had her since she was eight weeks old. She has a great temperment i have a two year old and a one year old and she doesn't even bat an eyelid at them. So if you do purchase one you would be better doing some research on reputable breeders and making sure both dogs have excellent temperments. If you do end up purchasing a rottwieler pup make sure you take it to obedience classes so it gets loads of socialisation as it's beneficial to dogs espcially a large breed
