| I don't blame the author of the letter for being upset at the way this Rottie acted or for asking the owner not to bring it to an event again. This dog is obviously not well trained and certainly not socialized.
I do feel that it is important to try to get a positive letter about Rotties put into the paper to counteract this negative publicity. I emailed the paper but it came back permanent fatal error, so if it does not go through later I will write the letter and send it in.
Basically what I said in my response was that Iwould like for Lisa to meet my Rottie, Elijah. We have met many people who disliked Rotties and they have fallen in love with him. I listed his accomplishments in school and Canine Good Citizen twice. I also made a point of stating that there are many Rottie owners that train and socialize their dogs and they are a joy to behold.
A friend that came for the Labor Day weekend had heard we had a Rottie. When he first greeted her she was petrified....by the time she left after two days she said she wanted to get a Rottie! Made me proud! You only know what you experience.
