Rottweiler:
F.C.I.-Standard Nr. 147 / 19.06.2000 / D
►Brief historical summary
The Rottweiler is considered to be one of the oldest dog breeds. Its origin
goes back to Roman times. These dogs were kept as herder or driving
dogs. They marched over the Alps with the Roman legions, protecting the
humans and driving their cattle. In the region of Rottweil, these dogs
met and mixed with the native dogs in a natural crossing. The main task
of the Rottweiler now became the driving and guarding of the herds of
cattle and the defense of their masters and their property. This breed
acquired its name from the old free city of Rottweil and was known as
the "Rottweil butcher's dog". The butchers bred this type of
dog purely for performance and usefulness. In due course, a first rate watch and
driving dog evolved which could also be used as a draught dog. When, at the
beginning of the twentieth century, various breeds were needed for police
service, the Rottweiler was amongst those tested. It soon became evident that
the breed was highly suitable for the tasks set by police service and therefore
they were officially recognized as police dogs in 1910. Rottweiler breeders aim at a
dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings,
whose powerful appearance does not lack nobility and which is exceptionally well
suited to being a companion, service and working dog.
►General Appearance
The Rottweiler is a medium to large size, stalwart dog, neither heavy nor
light and neither leggy nor weedy. His correctly proportioned, compact
and powerful build leads to the conclusion of great strength, agility
and endurance.

ischiatic tuberosity, should not exceed the height at the withers by,
at most, 15 %.
