Rottweiler
Powerful German canine
A Rottweiler is a large, powerful breed of dog with a black coat and tan markings, originally bred in Germany for herding and guarding.
Known for their muscular build and protective instincts, Rottweilers are often used as guard dogs and in police work.
The breed has a reputation—sometimes exaggerated—for aggression, making Rottweiler a shorthand for anything menacingly formidable: He had a Rottweiler of a lawyer.
