Morphology
Rottweiler = Rottweil (semi-transparent) = Rottweil + er
Form is clearly Rottweil + the suffix '-er' indicating origin/resident; however, recognizing it as the name of a dog breed requires lexical knowledge beyond the morphological pieces.
Etymology
Rottweiler comes from the German town Rottweil and the ending -er, which means 'from' or 'one from' that place, like a 'New Yorker'. These dogs were first used by people around Rottweil to herd cattle and guard, so today a Rottweiler is known as a large, strong working or guard dog.
