There adorable

Rottweilers are the best guard dogs. They have more powerful jaws than German Shepherds, so Rottweilers should be number one. German Shepherds aren't as strong and loyal as the Rottweiler, which makes it such a great guard dog. It has more than 328 pounds of jaw pressure when biting, while the German Shepherd only has a 238 bite force. Don't get why Rotties aren't first, Go Rottweilers!
