| Re: aggression
How old is your rottie now? I agree with Abby's owner. I ran a Rottweiler Rescue group for many years and in most cases the biggest issue was lack of firmness from the "get-go". I have all of my rotties either neutered or spayed and you will be amazed at the difference in behavior, especially with the males. Please try to save her...she's worth it. And perhaps you might consider adopting her to someone that trains rotties and understands them. I hope that you don't have to put her to sleep...that's a rough decision...and right now I am vulnerable to that train of thought because we learned yesterday that our baby girl of 8 years has lymphoma and will eventually have to be euthanized. Good luck with whatever your decision is...but the rottie breed is stubborn and strong-willed...and all owners must remember that when they acquire them. If you are persistent, they will respect you and learn from you. You have to obtain Alpha...no other way with them. But once you do, they are the most loyal, dependable and loving animal out there. They give you back three times the unconditional love you give them.  |
