The Rottweiler (UK /ËrÉtvaÉªlÉ/ or /ËrÉtwaÉªlÉ/) or (US /rÉtwaÉªlÉr/) is a breed of domestic dog, regarded as medium-to-large or large.The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rottweil butchers' dogs, because one of their uses was to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat to market.
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.
