All Dog Breeds >>Appearance of Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is a medium to large size breed of domestic dog that originated in Rottweil, Germany. The dogs were known as "Rottweil butchers' dogs" (German: Rottweiler Metzgerhund) because they were used to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat and other products to market. Some records indicate that earlier Rottweilers may have also been used for hunting, although the modern Rottweiler has a relatively low hunting instinct. It is a hardy and very intelligent breed.
Rottweiler Training
The Rottweiler is the most intelligent and easiest to train of all dog breeds! He learns new commands quicker than any other breed, which makes him very easy to train.
Rottweiler Shedding
The Rottweiler sheds a fair amount of hair. You'll find hair stuck to your couch, carpets, clothes and everything else in your home.
Rottweiler Grooming
The short coat of the Rottweiler only requires an occasional brushing. But because he sheds you may find yourself brushing him once or twice a week to remove loose hair. (What you get out with a brush doesn't fall out in your home!)
