The Rottweiler is an above average sized dog. The Rottweiler was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1950. In recent years, the breed's popularity has increased in America as the dogs are being used for police work, tracking, and obedience competition and as a brave family pet. The breed was developed from the mastiff type of dog used for herding and guarding. The Rottweiler was known as the "butcher dog of Rottweil," a title earned by driving cattle to market over the Alps in the Roman times.
