Historically, the dog has been used to help humans drag objects, fight, and guard, and is a large, multi-purpose working dog breed. During World War I, the dog was used extensively as a military dog on the battlefield, and was gradually trained as a police dog in the mid-20th century. Currently, the dog is one of the most popular police and military dogs in the world, and can be an excellent family guard dog after training. Smart and cautious, very loyal to his master, Rottweiler's size is considered medium-sized, but he is a dog with high energy and smooth personality without lack of confidence. He always gives the impression of being brave and powerful, and his calm majesty deters strangers from looking at him.
With a natural instinct to defend his home and family, he is a very intelligent dog, strong, adaptable and very happy to work, making him a great companion, guard dog and multi-purpose breed.
He should be disciplined in his demeanor in the ring, happy to be checked and adaptable, and tolerant of judges checking his mouth, testicles, etc. Dogs that are aloof or reserved are not defective, which is the general condition of the breed. Aggression or a tendency to attack other dogs is not a defect.
Any shy Rottweiler will be removed from the ring and a Rottweiler will only be judged to be shy if he: refuses to stand for inspection, dodges the judge. Threatening or intimidating someone it, and any sign of danger when the judge approaches from the rear for a normal inspection will leave.
Once used to guard cattle, the dog is a smart, strong and extremely approachable breed. It is now well regarded as a police dog, and can also be a valuable family dog.

It is better to bathe the Rottweiler once every 1-2 weeks. Human skin is acidic, while dog skin is alkaline. It is completely different in structure and texture from human skin. It is much thinner than human skin. Frequent bathing will destroy its natural protective oils and cause a variety of skin diseases.
Due to the difference in skin pH between humans and Rottweilers, human use can cause Rottweilers’ skin to dry, age, and shed hair. Apply special shampoo for Rottweilers. If it is not available in the area, you can choose a neutral shampoo for human use, and it must be a product that has no fragrance and no dandruff function, and you can choose a mild baby bath. Once itching or rash occurs, stop using it immediately.
Liver contains a variety of nutrients, and its unique fishy smell is loved by Rottweilers. But long-term eating liver can cause obesity, skin itching, vitamin A poisoning, calcium deficiency, hemorrhage, and postpartum convulsions, which is very dangerous.
Rottweilers do not like to excrete within their range of activities. This is its nature, but it does not mean that it is beneficial to its health. It should be trained to develop the habit of urinating and defecate in the bathroom, or to give it enough opportunities to go out and excrete, but it should be paid attention to actively clean up the excrement. Adult dogs should not hold urine for more than 10 hours. Long-term holding of urine can cause many diseases of the urinary system and bring great pain to the Rottweiler.
Rottweiler, like other dogs, also needs regular vaccination and deworming. After all, Rottweiler is a medium-to-large dog, and daily exercise should be essential.
