Rotterman

The Rotterman is from two German working breeds better known – or feared – for their strength and perceived aggressiveness. The Rottweiler and the Doberman, both medium-to-large dogs with sturdy musculature, were bred for specific purposes, among them personal security. The Rottweiler was originally a farm dog, herding livestock and pulling carts to market, while protecting its owner from robbers and thieves. The Doberman was developed by a tax collector, Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, who wanted a strong, dependable and fearless guard dog as he made his rounds.
