Once known as "The Butcher's Dog of Rottweill", after a butcher's dog who guarded his money and herded cattle on route to auction, this strong, trustworthy breed originated in the area of Wurttemburg, Germany. The descendants of the
Rottweiler dog breed can be traced back to dogs that were left behind to guard outposts for the Roman Army on it's march across Europe.
The Rottweiler, also called the "German
Rottweiler", is a devoted family and protection dog, and excels in police work as well as obedience training, which should be started while the dog is very young. Rottweilers require regular, thorough brushing and need plenty of outdoor exercise. Be sure to read: "Is the Rottweiler the Right Dog for You?"
