Like the mythical Greek hero Hercules, the Rottweiler is strong with a loving heart. The Rottweiler was originally dog bred to drive cattle to market. Later on, they were used to pull carts for butchers. They were among the earliest police dogs and served with honor in the military.
In modern times, they are popular family guardians and friends. Rottweilers are a great choice for experienced pet parents with strong, intense personalities. They need consistent and energetic owners who can provide them with the exercise they crave! With his muscles rippling beneath the fur on each side of his body, this dog appears strong and powerful. But when you look into his eyes you see warm, dark-brown pools reflecting a mellow, intelligent, alert, and fearless expression.

GROOMING YOUR
ROTTWEILER
Brush your Rottweiler twice a week with an open. Firm stroke brush to remove dead hair and distribute skin oils. They'll shed annually, so you may want to brush more frequently during that time period in order to keep the loose fur under control, usually around summer. Bathe him as needed if it's not warm enough for long sleeves or coats outside; this will also prevent gum disease or bad breath.
