Some facts and information about the Rottweiler -

The Rottweiler, also known as the Rottie, the Rott, or the Butcher’s Dog is an impressive breed originating from southern Germany.  Rottweilers were bred to herd cattle to market, defend livestock, and haul carts for butchers, hence the name, “butcher’s dog.”  The Rottweiler came to the United States in the late 1920s, and during World War II they increased in popularity.  Throughout the 1990s it was quite in vogue to own a Rottweiler.  This handsome breed is quiet, confident, and intelligent, but is not recommended for new dog owners.  They are very affectionate with their family, and want to be with them all the time.  The Rottweiler is very defensive, loyal, and protective of their family.  The breed is powerful, strong, and does adore children but supervision is advised especially with younger children.  It is important that other pets and animals be introduced slowly and it is best if they are raised  together.  Rottweilers are very teachable and compliant, but can also be stubborn.  Early socialization and training is crucial in order to develop a well behaved dog.  Rottweilers do require at least 45 minutes to two hours of exercise a day, such as hiking, walking, swimming, or any kind of physical activity.  The breed does make a great therapy dog due to its sensitivity and protective instinct.
