Just what were those
early Roman dogs like? The Romans had a number of mastiff-like
strains that were descended from the Molossus. Some of these were
trained to fight in the arenas, while others were used for household
protection. Some were bred by the travelling legions to herd the
cattle used as meat for the men. The Roman soldiers, particularly in
invasions, were known to be highly disciplined, relentless, and
disdainful of weakness. It's hard to imagine that any dogs these
troops favored as road companions were allowed to survive and breed
unless they were successful in moving the cattle properly and in
protecting the soldiers' beef supply.
The characteristic
Rottweiler behavior of being both instantly obedient to a strong
master yet fearlessly antagonistic towards that master's enemies are
qualities that sound likely to endear a dog to a Roman legionnaire,
especially if that dog - like a good Rottweiler - was stronger than a
man. But were those ancient dogs like the modern Rottweiler? Is there
any demonstrable connection between them?
AND more importantly...
were
those ancient Tottweilers like the modern Tottweiler? Is there any
demonstrable connection between them?.....
Just see for yourself...
