Descended from the Italian mastiff, the Rottweiler was used as a herd dog during the Middle Ages. Bred in the German town of Rottweil, the breed almost became extinct but its popularity revived early in the 20th century.
The powerfully built body is about 25 inches long and around 100 pounds. Always black with brown markings on the cheeks, muzzle, paws and legs, this attractive breed is a very good watch dog and is also used in police work. It is also a good companion dog and is good with children.
