Rottle History
The Rotti is a breed of domesticated medium-large working herding and guard dogs, of the spitz type, that originated centuries ago in the Alps. The term “Rott” is a diminutive of the German word “Ratten” which means “rat”. The Rotti is an intelligent, active, and watchful dog. They are naturally suspicious of strangers, and make good watchdogs. They are often reserved with strangers who come into the home, and because of this, some can be aggressive towards people they do not know.
