Rottweiler

The Rottweiler is a large dog breed originating in Germany as herding dogs. They are frequently used as guard and police dogs. It is a hardy and very intelligent breed.

In the hands of a responsible owner, a well trained and socialized Rottweiler can be a reliable, alert dog and a loving companion, but early socialization and exposure to as many new people, animals, and situations as possible is very important in developing these qualities.
