The Rottweiler Temperament
The Rottweiler is aware, loyal, obedient, protective, loving, aloof, clownish, and playful. They love the family and are calm, and even, they are always on the lookout for people and things who don’t belong in their house.
They need to be socialized at an early age and trained, this is not a matter of “Oh, I’ll train and socialize him/her later.” If that does happen, then you are setting the stage up for a tragic end.
When you take on this breed, you need to tell him/her who is the alpha. That starts right when you get home; they learn extremely quickly, and they are always ready to play and learn.
The Rottweiler needs a strong pack leader, they will test you to see if you are fit to be an alpha leader each and every day. The moment they sense weakness they go in for the kill (Not literally lol!) there are ways to curb their constant testing.
When training, if the Rottweiler decides that they do not want to follow your commands, don’t give up! Keep telling them the order until they finally do it. What they are doing is testing your resolve and spirit, so again don’t give up! Otherwise, your Rottweiler will continue to try and roll back the rules.

The Labrador Temperament
Labradors are gentle, ready to play, eager to please, loving, loyal, trusting. Labradors are great for first-time pet owners, they are easy to train. They have a soft and easy-going temperament, which makes them great for first-time pet owners.
Unlike the Rottweiler which needs an experienced alpha male/female human pack leader, the Labrador is again great for first-timers because they do not have that constant drive to be the alpha.
Labradors are playful with strangers, outgoing and very kind, like the Rotties and Labrotties they need exercise and not just a short walk, but rather a long run, swimming, and or fetching.
They also need socialization with other pets even though they are not known to get aggressive it is better to be safe than sorry. You also need to control their chewing, and mouthiness, they feel with their mouths and therefor anything around them unless trained not to chew on, is fair game for them.
