Rottweiler and Cocker fooling around

Rottweiler and Cocker dogs playing in the garden.

The Rottweiler is domestic dog breed originally used to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat to market.

The breed's origins date to around 74 AD, when Roman soldiers of the 11th Legion of the Roman Empire settled in the Wurttemberg region of Germany.

Cocker Spaniels are some of the most popular dogs in the entire world that were originally known for their hunting skills.

The Cocker Spaniel was reared to flush small prey from the brush for hunters. The name 'Cocker' is derived from woodcock, a bird the Cocker Spaniel was particularly adept at finding.

The Cocker Spaniel is also one of the smallest members of the Gundog group and originates from Spain, tracing back to the 14th century. The word “spaniel” translates as Spanish dog.
