Rottweilers are famous for their light and effortless gait, which can display their high driving capability and unimposing character.

Rottweilers Pictures - History Tip

Rottweilers go as far back as to the times of ancient Romans. Their predecessors were cattle driving dogs. The Romans also kept them for the guarding of property and often used them as watchdogs. The dogs accompanied legions in military campaigns. After one of such campaigns, the Romans settled near the city of Rottweil, in Southern Germany, where the dogs were crossbred with the local shepherd dog and the Mastiff. The hybrid of the two is nowadays referred to as Rottweilers.
