- The Rottweiler is one
of the descendents of Roman drover dogs.
- About 700 AD the local
Duke of Arae Flaviae (what is now Southern Germany) ordered a
Christian church built on the site of the former Roman baths.
Excavations unearthed the red tiles of Roman villas; to distinguish
the town, it was then named das Rote Wil (the red tile), which is of
course recognizable as the derivation of the present Rottweil.
- As the town increased
in prosperity during the uproar of industry, the Rottweiler, called
the Rottweil Metzgerhund (butcher dog), decreased considerably in
popularity.
- Eventually, in the
early 20th century, the reinvigorated Rottweiler remerged as a
police dog.
- The Rottweiler was
admitted to the AKC Stud Book in 1931.
- The Rottweiler parent
club was founded in 1971.
