Rottenweilers

It's been a whole lot of years since I spoke German but I seem to recall that a noun that ended in ER denoted that it was a masculine noun. The hard part in learning German is trying to figure out just what a noun was supposed to be, nearly everythin is either femine or masculine which is strange to an english speaker as about the only thing we do that with is something like 'she is a good ship'. Then Rottweiler would be correct in this instance. Imagine saying 'put the beer in him' indicating the refrigerator, lol.
