Rottweilers are well known to be powerful, protective, and loyal, and can be dangerous when they attack intruders to protect their owners. Rottweilers are natural guard dogs and can be very aggressive toward strangers, according to the National Kennel Club, but they make loving pets if they are properly handled and trained. Another Rotweiller owner said, "It is because he's big and beautiful - he has his momma to love him... my four babies don't understand either but i love them for the whole world."
