Are Rottweilers Hypoallergenic?

No, Rottweilers are not hypoallergenic. This is a question we get asked quite frequently, but Rottweilers are not truly hypoallergenic. Vets and animal experts agree that while no breed is truly guaranteed to be absolutely hypoallergenic, some breeds seem to be more than others. That being said, Rottweilers tend to trigger allergies less than a lot of other dogs.

Rottweiler History

Rottweilers descended from the ancient Roman Empire’s Drover dogs (a mastiff) and are one of the world’s oldest herding dog breeds. During the Roman conquests of Europe, the Roman legions needed to bring their meet with them, on the hoof. The Drover dogs herded the cattle, guarding the herds at night and pushing them through the Alps by day on their way to what is now southern Germany. For two centuries the Roman drover dogs were used to herd and drive cattle for trade in that area even after the Romans were driven. The dog breed was then named after Rottweil, a small town in the region. Eventually, the dogs were used by traveling butchers at markets during the Middle Ages to guard their money pouches that were tied around the dog’s neck. With the advent of railroads and cattle cars, the demand for the Rottweiler breed declined, as did their numbers. WWI created a huge demand for police dogs, which brought the Rottweiler back into prominence. Breeding once again was ramped up and the Rottweilers flourished with their new-found place as police dogs where they served in many capacities, throughout WWI and WWII. After the wars ended, Rottweilers became a favorite because of their gentle nature and extremely powerful build. The American Kennel Club says that the Rottweiler is a robust working breed of great strength and at the same time a gentle playmate and protector within the family circle.
