Why Rottweilers?
Rottweilers are one of the most popular dog breeds used for protection and guarding work. Originating in Germany, they are formidable guardians, and a breed we love working with. Here are five reasons why Rottweilers are one of the best breeds for family protection work:
1. Rottweilers were bred to protect. Developed as a guard dog, early Rottweilers shepherded cattle to and from markets. They were also responsible for looking after money which was traditionally strapped around their necks. To this day, Rottweilers are often aversive to being touched around their necks
2.Rottweilers are intelligent and highly trainable. A true working breed, they love to have a job and purpose meaning they readily take to all sorts of training. Incentive-based training works best with Rottweilers
3. Rottweilers love human company. As a member of the mastiff family, Rottweilers are bond strongly with their owners and are often known as “velcro” dogs because of their legendary loyalty. A Rottweiler will be a friend for life
4. Rottweilers act as a powerful deterrent. Their size and reputation are often enough to deter would-be intruders and attackers. With the strongest bite force of any dog, they are a force to be reckoned with
5. Rottweilers are highly adaptable. While originally bred to guard and herd cattle, they have excelled as family protection dogs and companions ever since. We have bridged that gap, and can provide you with some of the best family protection Rottweilers in the US
