Rottweiler Dog Breed Origin and History
The lineage and ancestors of the Rottweiler is not document on official record anywhere. Bearing this in mind, it is suspected and theorized that the Rottweiler is from the line of drover dogs that were native to the ancient Rome region. The drover dog has been depicted as have Mastiff-type traits such as dependability, ruggedness, hard working, extremely intelligent and profoundly strong guarding instincts.
The Rottweiler breed that we know today is not the same as the original Rottweilers. Roman Emperors had many, many conquests and invasions throughout Europe using extremely massive armies full of thousands of men. The ability to feed these men and protect the army supplies was of utmost importance for the success of the Roman armies.
During the time of the invasions, there was no method for refrigeration of meat to feed the soldiers. Armies had to rely on their food sources, such as cattle, staying alive and 'on the hoof'. As a result, the Rottweiler became a very popular and liked dog because with it's Mastiff-type traits it could herd and lead the 'on the hoof' food supplies as well as guard and protect the herds and supply divisions of the armies during the evening hours.
There were numerous conquests and invasions from the Roman army but one of particular interest is the invasions during A.D.74 where the route was focused on the Alps located in today's Southern Germany regions. This territory was called Are Flaviae and provided excellent climate, rich and fertile soil along with a central localized location. It is interesting that history points to the very significant role that the awesome fearless Roman drover dog played during this journey from Rome to the wilderness banks of the Neckar River .
Historical accounts of the time period indicate that the ancestors of the initial Roman drover dogs were used to guard herds and assist the Romans for the following two centuries. Also, Circa A.D. 260 history reports that the Swabians defeated the Romans from Are Flaviae and took over the city. With the resulting agriculture and cattle trading as a primary occupation there was even further need for this dog breed.
Approximately A.D. 700 the building of a Christian church ordered by a local duke on the former Roman baths unearthed Roman villa red tiles. In order to differentiate the town from others in the area, the church named it das Rote Wil (meaning the red tile), a origin of the present day word Rottweil.
Rottweil's control as both a cultural and exchange center increased significantly and without challenge throughout the twelfth century. The success of the Rottweil's new booming business led to a virtually all-new town built with intricate fortifications above the Neckar River . This increased security from the fortifications lead to an increase in the cattle trade as well as a larger population of butchers in the vicinity. A natural result was that more of the Rottweiler breed was necessary for herding the cattle back and forth between the markets.
The ancestors of the common Roman drover dog continued their successful cattle trade until the mid-nineteenth century, ending when cattle driving were banned. Additionally, dog carts would be replaced with the use of the donkey and the building of railroads.
The Rottweiler Metzgerhund, also known as butcher dog, encountered a struggle to maintain its mere existence. Being replaced by donkeys and railroads caused a tremendous decline in the numbers of Rottweiler breed. In fact during the year of 1882, there was only one of the Rottweiler breed present at a dog show that was held in Heilbronn , Germany .
The recordings of cynology do not even mention the Rottweiler breed again until the year 1901 during which time a Rottweiler and Leonberger Club was created. Even though the life of the club was short-lived it formed the first standards for the breed. Important to know is that the basic type of the breed has not through the years changed substantially and the general character called for by the club has not changed at all.
Later the Rottweiler would emerge in its usefulness and numbers increase. Between the years 1901 to 1907, Rottweiler dogs became the mot popular choice for a police dog. A few organizations were put together as discord became the norm until the year 1921 when there was an agreement to create th e Allegmeiner Deutscher Rottweiler Klub (ADRK).
Up until this time approximately 3,400 Rottweiler dogs had been registered with different guideline specifications and even duplications by three or four varying Rottweiler clubs. All of this confusion and misunderstanding would be laid to rest in the year of 1924 when the ADRK organization would publish its original stud book.
Since its beginning and despite the huge problems that arose as a result of WWII, the ADRK continued to sustain its leadership and to encourage selective breeding programs that have been upheld in Germany and overseas.

At Moo-Lolly-Bar we dispatch all orders via either Australia Express or Registered Post (depending on the size or number of shipping boxes required) or Fastway Couriers, as we believe collectively they are the safest, most reliable and cost effective way of dispatching confectionery items to customers in a warm weather country like Australia. Both methods are also fully trackable.
Of the two, Fastway is our preferred method so if you live in non-remote areas of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Adelaide and Canberra we will more likely than not send your order via this courier as standard.
Similarly if you live in parts of the country that Fastway does not service in a timescale of less than 1-4 working days then your order will be dispatched via Australia Post.
As a general rule any order that can fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel will be sent via that method. If the products you ordered do not fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel then they will be sent to you via Australia Registered Post.
Regardless of the courier we use you will receive via email a tracking number that will allow you to track the progress of that order. Either by visiting http://www.auspost.com.au/ or http://www.fastway.com.au/.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Keylor Navas help Real Madrid defeat 10-man Celta Vigo
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 12th goal in as many games and Keylor Navas made several saves to help Real Madrid earn a deceptively tough 3-1 win at second-place Celta Vigo on Saturday and provisionally increase its Spanish league lead.
Ronaldo and Danilo gave Madrid a two-goal lead at Balaidos Stadium by the 23rd minute, but Madrid needed Navas to protect the advantage before Celta lost Gustavo Cabral to a second yellow card in the 57th.
Despite playing a man down, Manuel "Nolito" Agudo got a deserved goal for the hosts in the 85th and Celta almost leveled before Marcelo scored Madrid's last goal just before the final whistle.
Celta's first loss of the season left Madrid as the only undefeated team in the 20-team league.
Thiago on his complex background, being healthy, Bayern Munich's start
Madrid rose three points clear of both the Galician club and defending champion Barcelona, which hosts Eibar on Sunday.
Madrid coach Rafa Benitez attributed his team's shaky showing to tired legs from Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
"It's positive for the group that they know that we can win points while struggling," Benitez said.
Elsewhere, Kevin Gameiro scored a hat trick in Sevilla's 5-0 win over 10-man Getafe.
Malaga beat visiting Deportivo La Coruna 2-0, and Granada drew 1-1 with Real Betis at home to stay in the relegation zone.
Even though he was eventually beaten by Nolito, Navas had another outstanding performance between the posts for Madrid since taking it over from club legend Iker Casillas this summer.
Manchester derby features captains under pressure, eager new signings
Navas, who set a club record with five straight clean sheets to start the season, conceded just his third goal in 12 matches overall.
The Costa Rica keeper made four excellent saves in the first half and consistently bailed out Madrid's backline that was overrun by Celta's attacking trio of Nolito, Fabian Orellana and Iago Aspas.
"Honestly, Navas stopped four clear goals. You have to congratulate him, I don't know how he did it," said Nolito, who scored his seventh goal in the league to match Ronaldo's haul. "I take away our effort with only 10 men. We have to be happy despite the loss."
Still without injured stars Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, Ronaldo ensured Madrid got off to a great start in the eighth when he passed to Lucas Vazquez before making a clever run to slip behind Celta defender Jonathan Castro and receive Vazquez's return pass before slotting home.
Celta searched for an equalizer during a promising 10-minute stretch that included several chances, the best of which was a powerful shot from Orellana that Navas palmed away in the 18th.
Rodriguez puts faith in Hauptman, sets out to rebuild Chicago Fire
But Castro left Celta's left side of the area completely undefended for Danilo to size up goalie Sergio Alvarez and double the lead.
Unfazed, Celta surged forward with the same attacking verve that had produced a stunning 4-1 win over Barcelona last month before Lionel Messi injured his knee.
The difference was Navas, who made three more superb interventions before halftime to block Daniel Wass' free kick before saving efforts from Aspas and Pablo Hernandez after they were set up by Nolito.
Other than Madrid substitute Francisco "Isco" Alarcon hitting the woodwork in the 69th, Celta dominated possession and the flow of play even after Cabral was sent off for protesting.
An early pick to play for title, Sounders now have 90 minutes to save season
Marcelo cleared Nolito's shot off the line in the 72nd before the forward finally bettered Navas with a pinpoint strike just inside the top corner, sparking a determined rally by Celta that came up just short of a second goal when substitute John Guidetti missed from close range.
In Seville, Gameiro struck twice in the 35th and 45th before adding a penalty when Getafe's Carlos Vigarary was sent off after Ever Banega had made it 3-0 for Sevilla from another spot kick. Yevhen Konoplyanka scored a third penalty for Sevilla's fifth goal late.
Malaga's Adnane Tighadouini scored a free kick before Juan Carlos Perez secured its second win of the season.
Granada's Dimitri Foulquier stole the ball and scored in the sixth, only for teammate Ruben Perez to commit a clumsy handball and let Ruben Castro convert a spot kick for Betis in the 40th.

Stanley M Johnson, Social Media Director
"Los Angeles is one of the most amazing places to live in the World. We have a high concentration of highly motivated, talented, creative people. When you add that with the laid back lifestyle, amazing weather, diversity, fun activities, diverse events (Sports, Concerts, Theater, Nightlife, Churches, Family, Hikes, Beaches, and etc.) there are not too many places in the world that rivals us. I am truly in love with this city.
However, there are huge threats. Due to a mindset against density and a dependency on the automobile, L.A. leads the country in sprawl, unaffordability, and homelessness. L.A. problems are not unique to any city, and we have seen cities with much higher populations control these issues by building higher, building with a density mindset (particularly around public transit hubs), and zoning properly for the betterment of the overall city. I am excited to be a volunteer at Abundant Housing as we fight against the status quo and that we fight not only just for affordable housing, that we fight not only just for homeless housing (which both are crucial to our survivor) but we fight for ALL housing as Angelenos should not be spending more than 30% of their income on housing. Seeing an organization that fights for every person instantly attracted to me to them and I am excited to see so many people join in and get connect with us as we push the city to the right thing! Let's make L.A. a city for everyone to live and enjoy!"
Tami Kagan-Abrams, Projects Director

Rebecca Muli, Hearings Organizing Director
Rebecca is the Hearings Organizing Director for Abundant Housing LA, where she focuses on organizing and training volunteers for turnout for high-priority hearings, and provides opportunities for the public to consider how housing impacts every facet of life in Los Angeles.
By day, Rebecca is an Instructional Aide for Special Needs Children at Moreno Valley Unified School District. She is also a professional singer where she performs for private events, commercials, and charity concerts.
Rebecca believes in the social, economic and environmental justice imperative of the provision of more housing for everyone. In her opinion, building more housing, however, cannot be disentangled from tenant rights, the sordid history of redlining, and the continued practice of exclusionary zoning across Los Angeles — the intersectional nature of housing should be examined firstly through an equity lens and this is the perspective she brings to her role with AHLA. Her vision is for communities to come together and support housing projects at city council hearings that can positively affect the current housing crisis in Los Angeles County.
Rebecca holds a BA in Music Education from California State University, Dominguez Hills and is currently working on her Masters in Human Resources from National University.
