Weimarrott History
The Weimarrott is a fairly new hybrid or designer breed of dog that was developed by crossing a Rottweiler with a Weimaraner. The Weimarrott is a cross between two different but very popular types of dogs. The Rottweiler is a strong, robust, muscular, medium sized working dog. The Rottweiler is descended from the Celtic Molossus, a German and Austrian Molosser-type herding and farm guard. The Rottweiler, which is classified as a large or giant breed, originated in the late nineteenth century through the efforts of Prussian breeder, Captain Max von Stephanitz. The Weimaraner is a German short-haired pointer and gundog. The Weimaraner is a descendant of the now-extinct Spanish Pointer, which was brought to Germany by nobles and royals for hunting. The “Weimaraner” is the German word for “Weimar”, where the breed was popularized during the 19th century. The “pointer” part of the name is derived from “pouncer”, which describes its bird-finding ability. The Weimaraner was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1935, and is classed as a member of the working group. The “Rottie”, as the Rottie is often called, is a medium or large sized dog, and was originally developed as a working farm and livestock guardian. The Rottweiler, which is classified as a large or giant breed, originated in the late nineteenth century through the efforts of Prussian breeder, Captain Max von Stephanitz.
