A mixed-breed dog has become a viral video sensation on social media after viewers of the uncommon crossbreed were left astonished by the canine’s striking looks.
Posting on TikTok, owner Chubbs (@ddsmcgees) enthusiastically showcased her “sweetie boy”, Duece, having first introduced her audience to his parents – a Rottweiler and a German Shepherd. The footage quickly transitions to Duece within his kennel.
“If you ever wondered what a Rottweiler x German Shepherd mix would look like,” Chubbs wrote in an accompanying caption. In a previous video uploaded in June 2025, she disclosed that upon rescuing Duece’s mother, Roxy, from an animal sanctuary, she was completely unaware the dog was expecting.
“When you come from the shelter you’re supposed to spayed!” she announced. “Roxy, I’m sorry girl, nobody knew you was pregnant. I just thought you were getting fat!”
Scores of TikTok users were left mesmerised by Deuce’s remarkable appearance, which seemed to combine his mother’s colour with his father’s stature. Indeed, one observer commented: “Every German Shepherd mix ends up having the GSD shape and the colour of the other dog.”
A second person highlighted: “Looks like a healthier version of both breeds.” A third recalled fondly: “I had a Rottie mixed with a Shepherd and she was truly the greatest dog, such a smart girl.”
A fourth TikTok contributor applauded: “Thank you, we think our puppy is a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix, but we couldn’t be sure. But he looks just like that fella.” And a fifth simply declared: “Wow he is so cute.”
Whilst the breed is often portrayed as military or police dogs in films, the RSPCA advises that German Shepherds are often thought to be aggressive. However, the charity counters: “But German shepherd puppies, like any breed, can grow into intelligent, loving dogs if you give them the right training and socialisation.”
Regarding Rottweilers, meanwhile, the RSPCA asserts: “Rottweilers are loyal, intelligent, and confident dogs known for their natural guarding instincts.”
“When appropriately trained and socialised, they are tranquil, affectionate with their family, and highly obedient. They are naturally protective but should never display aggression without cause.”
