Rottweilers were first used as cattle droving dogs in Rome. Until around 1900, they were then used as police dogs for a brief period and then mainly as a companion dog. They were never bred or intended to be "guard" dogs or hunting dogs for humans. It is only their willingness to be trained, their loyalty, size and looks that have lead to them sometimes being trained as guard dogs these days. They are much more suited to being loyal well trained house pets.
