Rottweilers have been popular as guard dogs since thousands and thousands of years. Their instinct is the main reason for that. In the past, they were used to protect cattle herds and during the time of the Roman emperors, they were used to protect wealth. So given good training and socialization, Rottweilers are great for anything.
Nowadays, they are used as domestic guard dogs. Brenna Kramer of Zephyrhills, Florida is a animal lover. She had a stable and two rottweiler dogs in her house. She adopted these dogs for the protection of the horses and herself. She loved all her animals very much. But she never thought one day these dogs would save her horses’s lives.
One night, something happened she never expected. While she was sleeping in the house, her dogs started barking unusually loud and nonstop. Brenna realized that something was going wrong outside. So she went out to check what was going on. At first she checked her horses. Because someone had already shut off the power supply in the stable. She couldn’t believe what she saw. A rope was tied around the neck of one horse and it was clear that someone had tried to take the horses as well.
But the aggressiveness of the two brave dogs would have made them run away quickly. One rottweiler also had two puncture marks on his head from trying to save the horses. Because horses can be sold at a very high price, these incidents are very common in California. But the bravery of the two dogs saved her horses’ lives.
I have had rottweilers for over 40 years. They are such an amazing breed. So full of love and loyalty. They are not aggressive but protective. And they are wonderful with children. I am so glad your rottweilers were there to you all safe
