Rottweilers were originally dogs bred to drive cattle to market. Later they were used to pull carts for butchers. They were among the earliest police dogs and serve with honor in the military. Most important, they are popular family guardians and friends.
The first impression of a rottweiler is of solid strength, and that is quite accurate. Rottweilers are slightly longer than tall, large dogs, ranging in height from 22 inches for a small female to 27 inches for a large male. Weights go from 80 to 120+ pounds (36 to 54+ kilograms). Rottweilers are blocky dogs with massive heads. Ears lie fairly tight to the head, hanging down somewhat.
