The word "droving" (from driving) means moving livestock over relatively large distances on the ground, by walking them -- traditionally using horses to control herds of cattle, or horses and dogs to control herds of sheep.

(The verb "to drove" is less used than to drive. It can also mean to chisel stone.)

What are Rottweilers first used for?

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.
