Cattle driving was Rottweilers main historical function .. Rottweilers had another job outside the driving history of cattle for slaughter. It's the same job as the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and Bernese Mountain Dog, also in the working group, are mostly known for. You see, like their cousins in Switzerland, Rottweilers are herdsmen who have also been used as draft dogs for centuries.

Although the main job of the race has been raising cattle, they also often used to pull carts, carrying things like milk on the market.

So why the dogs, as Rotter, commonly used as draft animals, instead of a horse, which could certainly handle a greater burden? There are several reasons. And most of these reasons lead back to the fact that the dog was the most economical choice in the circumstances.

Most of the dogs were employed by the project small farmers. Maybe it was a family with a handful of dairy cattle or poultry years. Or maybe they were subsistence farmers, who used most of their crops for themselves and could save a small amount to sell. Nevertheless, in most cases they were not landowners. They did not have a huge amount of product to sell at the market and they do not have much money to invest in a beast of burden. No matter what point in the history of which we speak, he always cheaper to buy a good dog for a good horse.

Let's look at a small dairy farmer. A horse would be using the same pasture his cows eating grass and even grain. His choice could come down to the question of what he wants a horse or wish to add another cow to his herd and increase the quantity of milk produced on his farm.

A dog, on the other hand, does not consume anywhere near the amount of food that a horse would. In addition, the dog would not impinge on the food supply of cattle. Although generally considered as carnivores, dogs are omnivorous with trends. The farmer could simply give them a portion of everything that his family was eating that night. In addition, a dog could supplement their meals by hunting vermin or pests.

In addition, in the case of Rottweilers, dogs can serve multiple purposes. It could be used to keep cattle from pasture to the barn, in addition to getting the milk on the market. His protective nature makes him an excellent guard farm, as well.

In addition to the reasons why use a dog, there were also health problems. As anyone who knows a lot about horses can tell you, the term "healthy as a horse" is a bit misleading. The horses are actually very sensitive animals. Too much green grass in spring and may Founder and lame. A sudden change in the type or quantity of grain and they can get colic and die. On the other hand, a farm dog would be much more robust (the expression "sick as a dog" is also misleading). And do not forget the fact that you do not normally boot with the dog.

In the late 19th century, the railroad tracks near to the nail in the coffin of boxer dogs in southern Germany. It became illegal to drive cattle over long distances along roads. However, even their secondary profession Rottweiler dog related to them for several years after.

Unfortunately, they also lost when the job well. The donkeys have become much more commonly used dogs as beasts of burden. If a donkey eats the same food would be a horse, because if its size, it does not need nearly as much. In addition, they are much more resistant than horses.

A comparison in dogs, a donkey can pull more weight. It could also be fitted, something that even the greatest Rotti is not capable of doing. Like llamas, donkeys can make good livestock guardians, too, ruthlessly hunt anything that resembles a predator.

As with livestock, the modern Rottweiler can still be used for karting. W
