Rottweilers were initially developed for cart-pulling and home protection duties. This breed demonstrates renowned intensity. They ranked among the earliest livestock herding breeds. Many consider Rottweilers intelligent and active, requiring substantial attention and exercise. Without these essentials, Rottweilers develop aggressive behaviors. Aggression rapidly escalates to biting, attacking, or clawing incidents. The Association of Professional Dog Trainers calculates a Rottweiler bite force at 328 psi—nearly 2.5 times stronger than average human strength.
