Strong, loyal, and deeply intelligent — Rottweilers are more than just guard dogs. Let’s explore some fascinating facts about this powerful breed.

Rottweilers trace their ancestry back to Roman drover dogs. They were used to herd cattle and protect soldiers during long marches.

In medieval Germany, Rottweilers were known as “butcher’s dogs.” They pulled carts and protected money pouches tied around their necks.

Despite their tough exterior, Rottweilers are affectionate and devoted to their families. With proper training, they’re great with kids and incredibly loyal.

Rottweilers are working dogs by nature. They thrive when given tasks like obedience training, agility, or protection work.
