The Rottweiler is a strong, intelligent, and loyal breed originally bred for herding and guarding livestock. They are protective and confident, making them excellent guard dogs while also being affectionate with their families. Their short-haired coat requires minimal grooming, but they shed moderately year-round, with seasonal increases. Training is generally easy, as Rottweilers are highly intelligent, but early socialization and firm, consistent training are essential to ensure a well-mannered and balanced temperament.
The Rottweiler descends from Roman drover dogs used for herding cattle. Over time, they became valued as guardians and police dogs, known for their strength and dependability. Today, they are loyal companions and skilled working dogs.
