When I was walking her, some guy who breeds rottweilers told me about how the Romans took them to Germany, left them there & how that is where they all come from.
Without looking into it, a much more likely scenario to my mind, is that the Romans brought some type of large mastif-type dog, which was then bred with existing dog stocks.
After looking into it, one of the Rottweiler's ancestor's was the roman "droving" dog. The mastif influence apparently came from England and The Netherlands, and other dog types were surely mixed in there a bit.
It's a far cry to say the Roman's brought them. I'm quite sure the breed didn't exist back then, and as to the Rottweiler's ancestors, the mastiff influence would seem more important, as per physical characteristics, than any other.
The Romans bringing the dogs and leaving them bit just makes a nice story.
"The breed is an ancient one, whose history stretches back to the Roman Empire. In those times, the legions traveled with their meat on the hoof and required the assistance of working dogs to herd the cattle. One route the army traveled was through Württemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers during this time was supposed to be the Roman droving dog, local dogs the army met on its travels, and dogs with molosser appearance coming from England and The Netherlands.

totally uninteresting and unrelated sidenote:
the actual town of Rottweil is not very far from the town where i was born and raised.

Well obviously not where they originally come from, but the current breeds...
Sounds fairly dubious to me.
it's actually fairly accurate.
You say that, but yet I remain fairly doubtful.

It was just a skeptical guess. The story sounded a bit too good to be true.
