| I must say, with as much tact as I can drum up, I am absolutely shocked that only two people have replied to this posting (and thank you, btw). I just read a lengthy listing by parrisopiglet where her dog bit a friend and the person required 38 stitches. There's two pages of listings. Has no one replied any further because I'm onto something with my theories? Am I doing the right thing by my dog? 2 weeks after getting Talyn I joined this group, because I've never owned a Rottweiler before, and wanted to make sure I got the best advice possible. The first thing I worried about after I came in the house was law enforcement showing up to take her away from me, I was petrified. I posted here because I thought someone would be able to perhaps shed some light on this for me, because I was absolutely shocked, and still am, that she bit this boy. I KNOW she's afraid of him, and I always keep her away from him, which I assumed was the best thing to do. All I truly wanted to know is what I should now do to assure the best that I can that she doesn't do this again. And no postings. Is it because no one was maimed? I really don't understand.
Most of all, I'm truly hurt. I am not a breeder, my dog doesn't have papers, but she is a Rottweiler, she's my Rottweiler, and I love her more than I thought possible. I got her when I didn't want a dog, because my heart was still broken over having my Labrador put to sleep, but she got in there anyway. I just want to make sure I'm doing right by her, and that's why I posted this, for help. Apparently, on this topic, no one has anything to give, so I'll wing it and hope for the best. |
