T3 Meeting Rottweiler First Time In Park

It is the 8th most popular dog according to the American Kennel Club, one of the 10 smartest dogs, and one of the most loyal breeds. Descended from the ancient Roman drover dog and related to the Italian Mastiff, the Rottweiler is thought to be one of the oldest dog breeds. It was developed in Rottweil, Germany, where a Roman army had settled in the 2nd century. It was used to herd cattle, for bear hunting, or for pulling small carts.

Through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Rottweiler was employed by butchers to carry their money in a neck pouch when they went to market. Today, the working dog makes an excellent police, service, or guard dog, or family pet.
