Rottweiler Versus Xoloitzcuintli: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Rottweiler and for the Xoloitzcuintli. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Rottweiler or the Xoloitzcuintli.
Rottweiler versus Xoloitzcuintli: Overview
Both the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli are similar in size. The Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli are both medium-sized dogs.
Furthermore, the Rottweiler belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
On the other hand, the Xoloitzcuintli belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
Rottweiler versus Xoloitzcuintli: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Rottweiler to the Xoloitzcuintli based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli
| Factor | Rottweiler | Xoloitzcuintli |

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Rottweiler in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Xoloitzcuintli. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Rottweiler is 69 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Xoloitzcuintli is 74 out of 125.
Despite the higher Better-Pet score of the Xoloitzcuintli, we still believe that the Rottweiler is a better pet than the Xoloitzcuintli.
This is because Rottweilers are much cuter but you cannot put a score on cuteness. If you could put a score on cuteness, then the Rottweiler will come out on top.
Also, we are biased in favor of the Rottweiler :-). We are for the Rottweiler. So get a Rottweiler!

Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.

Health Problems of Rottweiler versus Health Problems of Xoloitzcuintli
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Rottweiler is prone to more genetic health problems than the Xoloitzcuintli.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Rottweiler than for the Xoloitzcuintli.
5 health tests are recommended for Rottweiler while 4 tests are recommended for the Xoloitzcuintli.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Rottweilers and in Xoloitzcuintlis.
Rottweiler Health Problems
Rottweilers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Rottweiler puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Rottweiler puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Rottweiler breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Rottweilers for:

Xoloitzcuintli Health Problems

If you want a Xoloitzcuintli puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Xoloitzcuintli breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Xoloitzcuintlis, and how common these diseases are in Xoloitzcuintlis relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Rottweiler and in Xoloitzcuintli and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Rottweiler and the Xoloitzcuintli:
| Disease | Rottweiler Rank | Xoloitzcuintli Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Elbow problems | 3 out of 144 dog breeds | Not Common |

*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
