Rottweilers do best with a job.. protection..friend..livestock..K9 Etc!
Rottweiler, a breed of working dog which is thought to be descended from drover dogs (cattle-driving dogs) left by the Roman legions in Rottweil, Germany, after the Romans abandoned the region during the 2nd century. The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rotweill butchers' dogs, because their main use was to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered to market. This continued until the mid-19th century when railways replaced droving. Although still used to herd stock in many parts of the world, Rottweilers are now also used as search and rescue dogs, guard dogs, police dogs and service dogs.
In more detail....
According to the FCI Standard, the Rottweiler is considered to be one of the oldest dog breeds. Its origin goes back to Roman times. These dogs were kept as herder or driving dogs. They marched over the Alps with the Roman legions, protecting the humans and driving their cattle. In the region of Rottweil, these dogs met and mixed with the native dogs in a natural crossing. The main task of the Rottweiler now became the driving and guarding of the herds of cattle and the defense of their masters and their property. This breed acquired its name from the old free city of Rottweil and was known as the "Rottweil butcher’s dog". The butchers bred this type of dog purely for performance and usefulness. In due course, a first rate watch and driving dog evolved which could also be used as a draught dog. Rottie's were used a lot 1st and 2nd Wars for protection to camps while soldiers were resting, ambulances, messengers and officers of war.
The first Rottweiler club was established in 1914 to up hold the standards for the breed of working dogs. The first two established clubs combined had 3500 members by 1924. They set the standards for how the breed was to be. Docking the tails was a traditional look prior to 2018 where in became illegal in some countries. Per AKC it is still part of the standards of champion showmanship.
