[doggie]

rottweilers need to be part of the family. they need time attention and education. if you dont do critical socialization at a very young age, you could and probebly will have problems as the dog matures. people as well as animals. we are a family here to and we both work and have ouside interests, all i am saying is that a puppy needs to be brought up just like a kid. you cant leave them home all the time, obviously some times there is no choice. we incorperate our dog with alot of the kids activities, i.e. going to the park and for walks/bike rides/hiking/picnics and family gatherings, as well as specific dog days such as obedience, tracking, and just playing, oh yea and pet assisted therapy. a working dog is a happy dog.
