We have a new dog and it's a rottweiler. I was hesitant at first to have a dog which is known for its aggressiveness. I heard rottweilers are commonly used for dog fights. Some say that they are more aggressive than pitbull and doberman dogs. But when i first saw this cute little puppy, i instantly had a changed of heart and mind. He would just follow you and never leaves you whenever you put him out of his cage. He is so shy and naive and even more tamed than Spock and Teacup - our 2 mixed-breed chihuahuas/mini-pinscher. I named him Boxer.
Anyway, i still did some research about rottweilers and according to Wikipedia:
The Rottweiler is a breed of domestic dog known for its medium to large size and its strength. They originate from Rottweil, Germany and were known as "Rottweil Butcher's Dogs" (German: Rottweil Metzgerhund) because they were used to herd livestock as well as pull cartsladen with butchered meat and other products to market.[1] Some records indicate that earlier Rottweilers may have also been used for hunting although the modern Rottweiler has a relatively low hunting instinct. It is a hearty and very intelligent breed.
The Rottweiler was employed in these traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railroads replaced droving for getting livestock to market. While still used in herding, Rottweilers are now also used in search and rescue, as guide dogs for the blind, as guard or police dogs, and in other roles.[2]
