Rottweiler

Rott Rottie

The Rottweiler is a breed of domestic dog, regarded as medium-to-large[3][4] or


large.[5][6] The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning
Rottweil butchers' dogs, because their main use was to herd livestock and pull
carts laden with butchered meat to market.[3] This continued until the mid-19th
century when railways replaced droving. Although still used to herd stock in many
parts of the world, Rottweilers are now also used as search and rescue dogs, as
guard dogs and police dogs.[7]
