Originating in Germany, the strong, powerful Rottweiler was bred to herd cattle and pull carts of butchered meat to the market. Author Linda Bozzo and the American Canine Association provide young readers with accessible information, more fun facts, and adorable full-color photographs of this loyal, robust dog. Students will learn whether a puppy or adult dog is right for them, what to feed it, and how to keep it clean and healthy. In addition, this text includes a Note to Parents that stresses the importance of spaying or neutering and microchipping pets, a Words to Know section to help young readers master new vocabulary, and a Read About Dogs section to encourage deeper exploration into the topic.
