•   Dog Breed Pictures: Rottweiler The Rottweiler originates from Germany. It was a cross between Roman war dogs (mastiffs) and local dogs from the Rottweil region. It is a strong willed breed that requires a master with a firm but fair hand. •   Rottweiler Breed Standard The ideal Rottweiler is a medium large, robust and powerful dog, black with clearly defined rust markings. His compact and substantial build denotes great strength, agility and endurance. Dogs are characteristically more massive throughout with larger frame and heavier bone than bitches. Bitches are distinctly feminine, but without weakness of substance or structure. •   Rottweiler Dog - Breed Information The Rottweiler was known as the "butcher dog of Rottweil," a title earned by driving cattle to market over the Alps in the Roman times. The breed was developed from the mastiff type of dog used for herding and guarding. In recent years the breed's popularity has increased in America as the dogs are being used for police work, tracking, obedience competition and as a brave family pet. •   Rottweiler Pictures A collection of photos and pictures of Rottweiler dogs.
