English term or phrase: Rottweiler

"Rottweiler" is a German breed of dog known to be a little ferocious, unfortunately. I was wondering if Modern Chinese has a word for this type of Dog? If the language really doesn't have a word that's okay too. Just let me know. However, I have found that Chinese is very technical like German and has words for nearly all modern phenomena. Please give the answer in Roman letters.

Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Brian Costello

Special thanks to Jim Deng, but thanks also to BBW whose answer may also be correct but something tells me the translation given by Jim is probably more common. I appreciate both of you taking the time to answer.

I think it would be great if you'd tell us something about the purpose of your questions.

I noticed that you have been asking questions in various language pairs and there is no link ... except that there is mostly a third language involved.
