Rottweilers as Protection Dogs
Rottweilers are a versatile working breed which was developed in Germany to herd and guard cattle as well as pull trucks of meat to and from markets. While seldom used in pastoral roles today, it is most commonly found as a guardian and protector where it excels. Although poor breeding has made it harder to source reliable working-line Rottweilers, where we have found them, they have performed excellently reinforcing the breed’s stellar reputation. Rottweilers are intelligent and physically imposing dogs with a legendarily strong bite force. Few breeds can match the Rottweiler as a deterrent against would-be attackers and intruders.
