From the Back Cover

Originally, Rottweilers were bred to work, and they needed to be strong, sturdy, dependable, courageous, self-assured, and intelligent in order to get the job done. Those characteristics can still be found in the calm, confident "Rottie" we know today. He does not lend himself to indiscriminate friendships, but once he's a part of the family, he is a devoted and loyal companion. Just look into his calm gaze twinkling with good humor and you'll understand why his good nature, outstanding character, and devoted companionship have endeared the breed to owners for over 100 years.

This total care guide contains colorful sidebars, boxes, and photographs that illustrate key topics essential to Rottweiler owners. An excellent source of accurate, in-depth information, The Rottweiler will help you and your family raise a healthy and well-behaved canine companion.
