THE ROTTWEILER The
Rottweiler: - A breed whose origins go back to
Roman times has changed its occupation several times over the centuries.
The Roman armies used the dog in battle and to drive cattle across the
country. In the Middle Ages he was used for bear hunting and from
there a cattle dog, driving the cattle by day, guarding them by night and
at the end of the drive guarding his masters money, usually in a purse
around his neck. From there he became a butchers dog, pulling a cart. He
was particularly associated with the region of Rottweil in Southern
Germany, hence his name Rottweiler (pronounced Rott-Viler ). |
