Rottweiler

If you’ve never spent time with a Rottweiler, you might not truly understand what these powerful dogs are really like. Myths and stereotypes surround the breed — many people see them as aggressive because of their strength and their past use as guard or fighting dogs. In fact, some regions have even banned them altogether. Yet behind their protective instincts lies a loyal, affectionate companion with a gentle side that often surprises newcomers. It’s this mix of devotion and misunderstood reputation that has made Rottweilers both cherished and controversial, and one of the most beloved breeds in North America.
