| With your questions and concerns, I am wondering if you are a new dog owner, and if you've had a Rott before? I am a new Rott owner, but have had prvious dogs, including ones with challenging behavior. I find the Rott the most challenging dog I've owned, despite the fact that he is also the most sweet & loyal & eager to please, because he needs very clear, strong & consistant limits- and if I don't provide them, someone could be seriously hurt. From what I am learning & experiencing, Rotts need strong, experienced owners-I'm hoping that I can provide this for my dog so that we can learn how to manage him safely in public. The pup could be great, and you could be a great owner, but I would encourage you to honestly look at whether you an the pup are a good match- can you hang in there with the pup if things don't go as you hope, or if you do not have the support of loved ones? If you have doubts, it would be a kindness to allow the pup to be adopted by someone fully confident of her ability to manage this breed. There are many good dogs in search of a good home: maybe focus on whether this is a good match, instead of is this a good dog.  |
