A rottweiler barking at people coming too close to the pack's territory, or alerting about unusual things happening close by, is doing a great job as a security dog. That is a duty taken seriously by a good rottweiler. Of course, barking at anything and/or nothing is a whole different issue; it reveals poor nerves. However, in this case, "Herc" is just being an alert dog watching for his family pack. I like that type of rottweiler
