Have A Puppy? Think Well Before Choosing These Dogs

22. Royale

Rottweilers have been successful police dogs, herding dogs, military dogs, and therapy dogs. This breed is very trainable and extremely loyal. Rottweilers thrive as working dogs, and they get bored of just chewing on couches. The Rottweiler's work ethic dates back to Roman times, when they were probably used as horse-driving dogs. They were named after Rottweil, a place where they sourced roof tiles for the Roman baths. It's likely that the dog came from that German town. Rottweilers are the breed with the highest bite mortality rate after pit bulls. If you own a Rottweiler, your homeowners insurance will not cover you, and you will be liable for any damages the dog causes. Rottweilers are powerful, large, and very protective. They weigh 135 pounds, most of which is muscle, and their instinct is to attack threats. So, you may want to make sure your friend isn't stopped by what it perceives as a threat. For this reason, it makes a formidable police dog.
