| Well said Storm.
As far as I see it… Many dogs are worked and trained, but far away all dogs are proven in all fields of the prescribed working characteristics of the specific breed.
The Rottweiler belongs to the category of working dogs and should be:
Quote from (our "Bible" ) the FCI standard:
Good natured, placid in basic disposition and fond of children very devoted, obedient, biddable and eager to work. His appearance is natural and rustic, his behaviour self assured, steady and fearless. He reacts to his surroundings with great alertness.
Here we prove the above part of the standard with SchH, IPO, PH (police dog) or HJV (home guard) to obtain the title and the right ;) to proudly call a dog: Working Dog.
Fortunately many dogs work, but as far as I see it, not all of them are working dogs.
