 Roman
Rottweiler
The Roman
Rottweiler is an oversized Rottweiler, which
are truer to the original dogs which existed
hundreds of years ago.
This
recreation of the original Rottweiler is a
descent from the Tibetan Mastiff and
possibly Italian mastiff. These ancient
roman ancestors were inbreeding with local
shepherd dogs and fighting dogs. The first
written thing on Rotties is 74 A.D. The
Romans used this mountain dog during the
Middle Ages to herd and protect cattle for
the Roman Soldiers crossing the Alps.
It is a larger dog than the
standard Rottweiler, who is shorter. The
Roman Rottweiler is to the Tibetan Mastiff
as the standard Rottweiler is to the
Australian Shepherd. Calm, confident,
trainable, athletic, courageous, protective,
reliable, and devoted. They have a reliable
temperament.
The Roman Rottweiler needs
plenty of exercise. You can't give these
robust dogs too much work or exercise; they
thrive on it. They need to be taken on a
daily walk or jog. Running in the woods and
in open country makes them very happy and
they have no desire to wander from you.
Swimming or running beside a bicycle are
perfect activities for this dog and it ...
loves retrieving a ball. |
