There are many reasons why the Rottweiler is a better dog than the Pitbull. They have superior strength and can easily kill any pit bull with one bite.
The Rottweiler has much more power in its jaws than any other breed. Their body size is bigger, making them more suited for fighting than pit bulls because of their ability to take on larger opponents than themselves.

Pitbulls Are Weak And Mostly All Bark
Pitbulls are not big on the biting and ripping flesh, but rather on the barking. The Pitbull is not a killer by nature. If a dog does get so aggressive that it attacks another dog, then the pitbull will probably be killed in response. This happens because a Rottweiler is bigger and stronger than your average pitbull.

Rottweilers Have Bigger Heads
Rottweilers have bigger heads. Their heads are longer, wider and bigger than pitbulls.
The shape of your dog’s head is important because it determines how much damage he can cause to another animal or person. A larger head means more room for powerful jaws and muscle, but a smaller head means that you don’t need as much muscle to do the same amount of damage!
| Breed | Average Head Size |
|---|---|
| Rottweiler | Larger |
| Labrador | Smaller |
| Golden Retriever | Similar |
| German Shepherd | Comparable |
Rottweiler’s Have Stronger, More Powerful Jaws
The Rottweiler’s bite force is 320 pounds. This means that the Rottweiler has a much stronger bite than the pitbull, which has a bite force of 235 pounds.
The Rottweiler is also described as being more intelligent, confident and courageous than other breeds. In fact, this breed was originally bred in Germany to be a guard dog for cattle and sheep farms. Thus, it’s no surprise that they tend to be quite protective of their owners!
Training a Rottweiler can have its challenges, but with the right approach, it’s definitely achievable. Learn more about the training process and techniques in our comprehensive guide on Training Rottweilers to set your furry companion up for success.
Rottweiler’s Are Bigger And Heavier
Rottweilers are a bit bigger and heavier than pit bulls. Pit bulls are generally between 35 and 60 pounds, while Rottweilers can weigh anywhere from 75 to 130 pounds (19 to 59 kg). Bigger dogs have an advantage in dog fights because they can use their weight to knock down smaller dogs, but when it comes to actual biting power, the size difference isn’t significant.
A large dog like a Rottweiler has more mass than a small one like a Chihuahua, but not enough extra mass to make much of a difference in terms of bite strength or jaw pressure.
Rottweiler’s Have Longer Necks
One of the most common misconceptions about rottweilers is that they have a long neck. As you can see from the picture above, this simply isn’t true.
While it’s true that pitbulls have shorter necks than rottweilers, the length of a dog’s neck doesn’t determine who would win in a fight between them.
When it comes to muscle mass and power, rottweilers are at an advantage over pitbulls because they have more muscle mass and strength in their bodies (especially their necks).
That being said, if we were to compare two different types of dogs with similar size builds and abilities—like say a Great Dane versus an Irish Setter the Irish Setter would likely be able to outrun its opponent due to its longer stride length!

Rottweiler’s Are Stronger And Faster
Now, you might be thinking, “What does this mean? How fast do Rottweiler’s run?” Well, to put it simply: they’re faster than pitbulls.
You see, the average speed of an adult male Rottweiler is around 28 miles per hour (mph). A pitbull? They can only achieve speeds of 25 mph at best.
The same goes for stamina; a Rottweiler will last much longer than a pitbull in any physical confrontation or race because they have more endurance and are less likely to tire out first due to their larger muscle mass and natural strength.
Rottweilers Have More Stamina Than Pit Bulls.
Rottweilers also have a lot more energy. They can run longer, swim farther, and jump higher than pit bulls.
So if you ever want to play fetch with your Rottweiler, he’s going to be able to chase that ball for hours on end without getting tired.
On top of their stamina and activity levels being higher than pit bulls’, the Rottweiler breed has superior strength too!
| Breed | Stamina Level |
|---|---|
| Rottweiler | High |
| Pit Bull | Moderate to High |
The Rottweiler Is Bigger Than The Pit Bull
If you have ever seen a Rottweiler and pit bull face off, you may wonder why the pit bull does not kill the rottweiler. The answer is simple: size. The rottweiler is much larger than the pit bull, weighing in at about 80 pounds to about 30 pounds for a male dog.
The Rottweiler’s neck is also longer than that of a Pitbull’s, giving it an advantage when it comes to leverage during confrontations.
Lastly, rottweilers are stronger than Pitbulls and have more stamina than their counterparts; this makes them better fighters since they can last longer without tiring out as quickly as their smaller opponents would be able to do so after an extended battle with one another

The Rottweiler has a very strong body compared to other breeds like the German Shepherd or Doberman Pinscher (who are also known for being good guard dogs).
Pitbulls don’t stand a chance against these larger and more aggressive dogs, especially if you’re talking about an encounter where both dogs are being trained specifically for these situations!
