I hope I am not rambling on here, but I believe with certain breed you will never have full acceptance.

Three times in the last week, I have had experiences where dogs (2 of leash and one on leash) totally out of the owner’s control, has been running towards my dog. In all situations I gave my dog a “plads” command, and nothing happens, but all the owners were scared to death, because THEIR dogs ran away to play with or challenge a Rottweiler. In one of the cases I had to put my own dog in “down”, while I helped the owner to recall her dog and put on the leash. All three times I was asked: How old are your dog? How do you teach him that? etc. etc. The answers: TRAINING, and if you don’t care for that, buy a bird or a gold fish or at least… KEEP YOUR DOG ON LEASH.
A well-trained and obedient dog is ALWAYS admired, regardless of the breed.
