Well, there is much responsibility with this breed no doubt about that. But their intelligence is unmatched (my opinion).
My mom lives only a block away from me and is in her eighties. I leave Roxe with mom during the day because mom has a tendancy to open her front door to anyone too easily. Seeing Roxie is at least a deterent.
I also am not afraid to walk late at night, so if my mom calls needing help, Roxie and I are there. One night as I was walking to mom's house, I got to an alley opening and Roxie started gowling. I didn't see anything and said "what are you growling at girl?" In that alley, hiding behind a dumpster were two men! It was 11PM at night and there was no reason for them to be there. I walked past them with Roxie and she kept looking back and growling. They followed for about half a block and then must have decided they were no match for Roxie.
This was a time that I was glad my son had talked me into this breed of dog! My first dog was a Rottie. I was leary, but I fell in love with the breed. Roxie is my second Rott.
They are the best!
