Rottweiler

The Rottweiler, or Rottie, is a large and rugged dog with a hard-working and confident demeanor, known for its confidence and intelligence. This breed also has a playful and affectionate side that it reveals when at ease. Few Rotties have an aggressive nature, despite what some people think. They are usually very calm, loyal, and loving companions to those they trust. But remember that Rottweilers aren’t the easiest to train, so they’re not best suited to first-time owners.

The Rottweiler is considered to be one of the oldest dog breeds. Its origin goes back to Roman times. These dogs were kept as herder or driving dogs. They marched over the Alps with the Roman legions, protecting the humans and driving their cattle.
