2. Rottweiler – Powerful and Protective
Rottweilers are known for their strength, loyalty, and protective nature. Originally bred to herd livestock and pull carts, they are one of the most robust working breeds.
While Rottweilers can be incredibly loyal to their families, their natural guarding instincts make them wary of strangers, which can result in aggressive behavior if not properly trained.
Rottweilers require early socialization and firm leadership to ensure they are well-adjusted and safe family companions.
