Answer 1

Maybe this will help...................Let us all know what kind of grade we get .
The Rottweiler is a medium-large, robust, powerful dog. Their build denotes great strength, agility and endurance. The Rottweiler is a working dog, they are the happiest when there is a job to do whether it is herding, competing in obedience, tracking, search and rescue or retrieving the newspaper. They are an effective guard dog, but need firm handling and proper training. Rottweilers will defend their family and property to the end, but do have a tendency to become loyal to one person. An inexperienced owner should not consider Rottweilers.

Answer 2

The Rottweiler's origins are very old and the theories about its history are numerous. Germans profess that it is entirely German and was developed by butchers. Although a fancier such as Stebel claims that the Rottweiler descended from the Bouvier.

In ancient times this dog was prevalent in all the regions from the Swiss Canton of Argovie and extending to the south of Wiirtemberg, where the Romans had established important military centers. There they brought a Mastiff which worked as a guard dog and a drover. The drover dogs were critical in herding the cattle that supplied food to the Roman Legions. These dogs also guarded the supply dumps of the Roman armies and was traditionally the Roman camp dog.

The town name of Rottweil is derived from an excavation of a Roman bath on that location. The descendants of the Roman drover dogs (now Rottweilers) were valuable workers in the cattle trade.

In the early 1900's the Rottweiler came to prominence. The breed gained popularity as police dogs. The allegmeiner Deutscher Rottweiler Klub was formed in 1921. The first Rottweiler was admitted to the American Kennel Club in 1931

Answer 3

odd project, to make a rottie you need a rottie mum and a rottie dad. The rottie is a recognised and established breed so you will not get a rottie by crossing two other breeds of dogs.
sorry but it cant be done

There are not two breeds that make up a Rottweiler. They are their own longstanding breed with ancient roots - some claim all the way back to the Roman Empire.
