Meet the Rottweiler

A powerful, guard dog in a sleek black and mahogany coat, the Rottweiler remains one of the nation's top choices for a guard dog and companion. This large German working breed is loyal to a fault, powerfully built, loveable, and protective of its owner and property.

The first breed series ever authorized by the American Kennel Club in its 150+ years' history, The American Kennel Club's *Meet the Breed Series' *serves as an excellent introduction to the nation's most popular purebred dogs.

Each title includes:
-Characteristics of breed; choosing a puppy; supplies; house-training and obedience training; feeding; grooming; veterinary care and preventive medicine; activities and competition
-Sidebars containing breed trivia facts, historical data, AKC owner advice, and chapter summaries
-Index plus Resources, containing recommended books, periodicals, websites, AKC affiliates and programs.
