THE ROTTWEILER
NEW DOG IN ENGLAND. A new kind of dog has been shown recently in England, which was unknown before. It is called the rottweiler, and is really a German dog known for generations on the Swiss border. There it was used to help drovers in transporting large herds of unruly cattle considerable distances to market. The dog is rather more than two feet high at the shoulder, and is remarkably intelligent. Indeed, it has been trained lately to help Continental police and soldiers. It is a good dog for leading and guarding the blind. The dog is strongly built, with a short tail and a short head. The ears hang down; the black coat, with rich tan markings, is short and glossy.
