Rottweiler Show Dog Markings. What is a pocket rottie? Rottweiler breeders aim at a dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings, whose powerful appearance does not lack nobility and which is exceptionally well suited to being a companion, service, rescue and working dog.

In order to show your dog at akc competitions, you must have a rottweiler that fits the official breed standard. Much shorter and squatter, if you are looking for a stumpy rottie lookalike, the american bully is your guy. The markings appear over the eyes, on the cheeks, on each side of the muzzle, on the chest and legs, and beneath the tail.
