All their qualities make Rottweilers very popular<br />
working and sporting dogs in several disciplines.<br />

Its muscle mass is well developed, but it also<br />
possesses sufficient energy reserves (in the<br />
form of fat mass*) to stay on its feet without<br />
flagging for a relatively long time.
