What Rottweilers are like to live with

The Rottweiler was developed in the German market town of Rottweil as a drovers' dog that could also guard. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "strong, intelligent and protective German drover's dog" and says it is "territorial and protective of his owner and his property". It adds that in modern times the breed has been used by the armed forces and the police.
