Rottweilers...love 'em. I've owned 3, one was faulted on conformation
but was one of the smartest dogs I even had the pleasure of knowing.
Rottweilers are originally bred from mastiffs. Rottweilers were originally
bred by cattle and sheep herders who would use the dogs for not only
herding but as guards of money. The dogs wore special collars that
were money pouches and when the herd was sold in the town the owners
could safely get drunk and passout with their money wrapped around
the dogs neck...if anyone tried to fuck with the owner or the money the
dogs would instinctively kill the robbers. Owners always woke up hung
over and still in possession of their funds.
Mastiffs were used by the Romans in battle. The dogs were outfitted with armor
and were the first wave sent in, the dogs would take out 10-12 of the
enemy before they were killed. Very valuable and formidable warriors.
