Rottweilers as a breed desire to be with their "pack", their family. It is one of their traits and one of the reasons that people that understand Rottweilers get them. I have 3 dogs, 2 over a 100 pounds, and they are inside most of the time. I got the dogs because I was desirous of their companionship. It is hard to be a companion while you are locked outside and everyone else is inside.
I have found that people that do not understand the Rottweiler breed get them as protectors and then confine them where they can't protect. |
Both break ins were people jumping over the garage, into the back pation area, (where Gage is, ) and busting the window. If anything, him out back saves me $200 for replacing the glass!
I understand about the being shot, stolen, or whatever, but I'm sorry, maybe I'm painting this the wrong way. He's inside at times, but outside most, and sleeps there too. I don't think he's in any danger outside, not in the least. He gets tons of attention, but I'll admit, I obviously need to train him more, and get him to quit barking.
