She was the most gentle dog but fiercely protective and loyal.
I discovered quite by accident that Rotties were bred as Cattle dogs. I had some cows that I used to work on horse back with my faithful Kelpie. The Rottie just joined in one day and she quickly became the best paddock worker I ever had.
Did some research (pre interweb era, so that meant library) and discovered they are indeed a working dog.
Cattle work, pulling small Butchers carts and home security all in one big boofy gentle dog.
Yeah giant sook, this guy would only protect you from burglars if they were trying to steal cheese out of the fridge.

A German man who worked with my wife said that they used rottweilers as working dogs I thought he was crazy until I did a bit of research, maybe not in the Australian summertime because they are like big black solar panels.
