The Guardian Angel
The Rottweiler originated in Germany and was bred to carry out difficult tasks. Rotties were commonly used to pull carts for farmers and butchers. Not only were they used in the farming industry, they were used in the military and police to sniff out illegal substances.
The Rottweiler is a very proud breed and that can be seen in their muscular chest. Although they have been used to perform hard tasks, they are still seen as one of the best guardian dogs amongst families.In general, the rottie is a calm breed. They are very alert dogs and have the instinct to protect their loved ones. However, without the correct and consistent training, this breed can easily become destructive.
It is important to note that this breed is very active, so they need lots of exercise to work out that energy or your yard will become a mess. Rotties that are socialised and trained correctly, learn how to handle their protective instincts. As a result, they become very playful, gentle and social dogs around their families and other animals.
If you are in need of a guardian angel and a loving family member that you are willing to consistently train with structure and firmness, then the Rottweiler is a perfect match for you.
