Strong, courageous and intelligent, Rottweilers are versatile and faithful dogs. They have outstanding characteristics and are devoted to their family. Butchers dogs were used to herd livestock in Germany. Do you know why the name “butcher” was used? The carts were full of “butchered” meat and other products to sell. So, when the dogs pulled the carts they were called “butchers” dogs. Today, Rottweilers are found not only at home, but also in law enforcement. They form a part of search and rescue teams and help the blind as guide dogs. This ability extends to work as police dogs and guard dogs. The AKC standard defines Rottweilers as “calm and confident.” They also note a “self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” This statement helps us to understand the level of socialization required for a Rottweiler. It also helps us to learn how much training is needed for a friendlier, more outgoing pet. Rottweilers are excellent watchdogs and guardians. Their alert and protective nature can serve to protect both you and your family from strangers. However, like other dog breeds, this aspect of their personality may not appeal to you, if you are looking for a more guest friendly dog. This breed has a high energy level and strong territorial instincts, which are other aspects to consider. A slow lifestyle is not ideal, as they have a tendency to get a bit overweight. For this reason, they require daily exercise and space to expend that energy. Mental exercise is another very important factor to take into account. Despite their strong personality and characteristics, Rottweilers are highly recommended as guardians and protectors. With proper training and firm attention, Rottweilers make an excellent addition to the list of … man’s best friend!
