Rottweilers were initially developed for cart pulling and home protection. This breed is recognized for its intensity. They ranked among the earliest livestock herding breeds. Many consider Rottweilers intelligent and active, requiring substantial attention and exercise. Without these elements, Rottweilers can develop aggressive tendencies. Aggression can rapidly escalate to biting, attacking, or clawing. The Association of Professional Dog Trainers calculates a Rottweiler can bite with 328 psi force—nearly 2.5 times stronger than average humans.
