Please note that at no point did I say have the dogs bark, threaten, hurt or misbehave in a horrible manner. I simply meant that when the dogs greeted them that they let them. ;) Simply, to let the dogs behave as they do in their daily routines. Where you see the dogs pleading eyes and drool strings when you have your morning toast, you tend to shelter your guests from such behaviour and sights. If they had no idea of how a 'day in the life' is, I simply suggested that they give them a look.
Showing Rotties in a positive light is something completely different. The only mannerisms I suggested were friendly, social ones. This had nothing to do with Rottie behaviour - it was about DOG behaviour.
I love our breed and support them every chance I get. I volunteer with a rescue group and do my best to educate the public about our wonderful breed. I think this was simply taking my comments a little out of context. ;)
Anyway Rompin, I'm SO happy that you were able to get the b/f to say no. It doesn't sound like Steve would have listened to anyone but him. Thank you so much for protecting their potential puppy and giving him / her a chance at a better home. :)
Great work!!
