There are pet quality rotts out there that have no drive whatsoever, not even to bite a sleeve. However I did use SCH just as a point of reference for people who believe a correct temperament rottweiler is simply one that can title in SCH. I don't believe that a rottweiler has correct temperament just because it is SCH titled although under certain judges and helpers this is less true. This sets real working rottweilers even further apart from pet quality animals.

IMO the rottweiler originated as a dog used defensively anyways (molloser group) so it follows that offensive use such as a send away was originally not required for correct temperament. Obviously this is not the case today as in SCH or police service work. I wonder how many people think that the ideal rottweiler temperament does not necessarily call for offensive use abilities.
I think I'll start a new thread about it.
