Re: Breeding to produce "nice pets."

I'm all out of rhinestone tiaras. 3 for 3 Gret. You're batting 1000!

And this is why people should not get offended by those who understand the fundementals of temperament and type, and the importance of keeping both of those aspects strong and true.

There's more to breeding dogs than throwing Fido and Gretta in the backyard and letting them have a go at it. In order to stack the cards in our (and the breed's) favor, we must be diligent about researching pedigrees and what they contain in regards to temperament (especially), and type.

A rottweiler should act like a rottweiler. A rottweiler should look like a rottweiler. A rottweiler is NOT for everyone, as Gretchen has so painstakenly pointed out in the past few days.

If people researched their dogs as much as they research their cars and TV sets before they buy them, there'd be less visits to the emergency room, less dogs in County Shelters, and less fuel for the BSL fires.
