Around 73 or 74 AD, according to The Rottweiler Club of the U.K., the ancient Roman armies along with their herder dogs camped near the Neckar River in Germany.
Throughout the middle ages, the large and sturdy dogs remained, used as herders and even for bear hunting.
This area eventually became a small town known as ‘das Rote Wil’ a name that evolved into Rottweil.
