About this title

Synopsis

This German breed takes it's name from the town and area of Rottweil in southern Germany. In ancient times, the romans, moving over the alps toward the town of Trier in Germany brought dogs to work the cattle herds brought along to feed the army. By the middle ages, Rottweil had developed a dog, based on local breeds and the cattle dogs of the Romans, which would care for stock, pull a cart and guard the master against robbers. Because the dog brought the cattle in for slaughter, then pulled the cart which delivered the meat to customers, the rottweiler was often called "the Butcher's Dog." This was a breed which originated with the poor man of the medieval times who needed a dog to help him in a variety of work, not the single purpose of the wealthy. To learn more about the Rottweiler, if the breed is right for you and where to locate a breeder look in "The Basic Guide to the Rottweiler."
