I was just enjoying my morning coffee and reading the Sunday paper when I came across a "Letter to the Editor" that really upset me.
I don't know how to do links, so:
www.thetimesonline.com
click on Opinion
click on Letters to Editor
The title of the letter is "Rottweiler doesn't belong at cross country competitions"
If indeed this particular Rottie was barking and jumping at runners as they passed, then he obviously was not well trained and a poor representative of our breed.
What angers me is the author of this letter stating that the blue cloth leash did not look adequate to hold back a 200 pound dog....a chain would be safer. A chain? Also this person just had to include the recent "mauling incidents" in Chicago.
People who do not know good Rotties will just see this letter as good reason to restrict or ban the breed. I am sending my email to the paper with my opinion on this letter. I also will invite this person to meet Elijah. Sure would love it if some more of you would read this "Letter to the Editor" and send the paper an email! Thanks!
