Rottweiler

The Rottweiler (also known as the "Rott" or "Rottie") is a working breed originating in Germany. The dogs were known in Germany as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rottweil Butcher's Dog. They descend from ancient Roman drover dogs, and were used to herd livestock, pull carts loaded with butcher's meat to market, and guard cattle for their nomadic Roman masters. In modern times, they are used as search and rescue dogs, police dogs, and guard dogs. Their main use today is to guard property and people. Their name comes from Rottweil, a village in Germany, where there is a statue of their namesake dog.
