Whether you are looking for a best in show or a best friend, you will not find a better dog than our Rottweilers. We are not like many indiscriminate breeders who offer cheap dogs that often do not represent the breed in physical, emotional, or intellectual standards and often consider German decent to be nothing more than the dogs great-great-grandfather thought about visiting Germany.
Quality does not happen by accident. We breed only pure German lines and concentrate not only on the confirmation of our Rottweilers, but the temperament as well. We strive to breed calm, confident and courageous dogs with an inherent desire to protect home and family. We are a small breeder that focuses on quality rather than quantity. At Guardian Rottweilers, our dogs are our family. They are raised with our children and in our home. About the Breed. 
Rottweiler Origin
Rottweilers are considered to be one of the oldest breeds of dog. Its origin goes back to Roman times where they 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, Germany, 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 defending their masters and property. This breed acquired its name from the old free city of Rottweil, and became known as "Rottweiler Metzgerhund" which translates literally to "Rottweil butchers 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 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 Rottweiler was highly suitable for the tasks set by the police service and therefore they were officially recognised as police dogs in 1910.
General Appearance
"The ideal Rottweiler is a medium large, robust and powerful dog, black with clearly defined rust markings. His compact and substantial build denotes great strength, agility and endurance. Dogs are characteristically more massive throughout with larger frame and heavier bone than bitches. Bitches are distinctly feminine, but without weakness of substance or structure." AKC Rottweiler Breed Standard
Temperament
Being good natured, placid in basic disposition and naturally fond of children, the rottweiler is very devoted, obedient, and eager to work. His appearance is natural and rustic, his behaviour steady and fearless. A rottweiler reacts to his surroundings with great alertness. The Rottweiler is self assured and does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. He is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in his environment. He is a very intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making the rottweiler especially suited as a companion and guardian.
