The Rottweiler, also known as the Rottie or Rott, descends from mastiff-type dogs that drove and guarded cattle herds alongside Roman troops during long marches, breeding with local dogs across Europe to lay the foundation for the breed. These strong, muscular dogs were later used by butchers to drive cattle to market and pull carts until motorized vehicles reduced their need, leading to a breed club formation in 1901 to revive the Rottweiler. The Rottweiler arrived in the United States and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1931 as other countries began appreciating their strength and working abilities. These large, compact dogs feature broad chests, muscular legs, a wiry medium-length double coat that is black with mahogany accents, docked tails, and ears that hang close to their cheeks.
Confident, alert, and self-assured with a strong work ethic, Rottweilers are affectionate and devoted with family but tend to be aloof with strangers, though never aggressive without cause, displaying a calm and observant temperament rather than hyperactive behavior. They require firm, consistent training with clear leadership established early to prevent bossy behavior, and when properly socialized do well with children and other pets if raised with them during puppyhood. These high-energy dogs need about an hour of daily exercise to maintain weight and happiness, making great hiking companions who benefit from swimming opportunities and a fenced-in yard for running and playing. Their short coat is a moderate shedder requiring minimal grooming with weekly brushing to manage year-round shedding and maintain glossiness, periodic baths or damp towel wipe-downs, and regular nail trimming due to fast growth.
