Thanks for the great advice.
When we were first thinking of getting a Rotti we found this site and read it alot. Somehow over time though we forgot about it and now I have been busy the last two days catching up on different threads.
Our dog is basically a very well behaved dog. We do have the one issue with clipping nails but I have been touching and playing with her paws for 2 weeks now and she is more comfortable with it now.
My hubby and I have done alot of thinking over this and we were thinking that we would introduce the two dogs and see what happens. Nothing wrong with making a new friend.
We went through the SPCA to get our first dog and was very impressed with how they handled the adoption.
The only down side we have noticed with owning a Rotti is how the public reacts. All I can do is shake my head when a women throws herself in front of her baby carriage or as a dog owner rushes to pick their dog up when we walk by.
I had to give up one of the off leash parks yesterday for awhile. Some idiot brought his Rotti there and he mauled a little dog. While the boy was bringing the dying dog home the Rotti and owner took off. I am not welcomed with open arms right now :(
