Re: New to dogs....

In my eyes, the Rottweiler is a superior breed of dog. I've had them as my exclusive breed of dog since 1984. I admire and like everything about them--with two exceptions. They can be plagued by terrible diseases (cancer, for example) and too often the wrong people get them for the wrong reasons.

What makes them such an outstanding dog for me is that I'm willing to do what it takes to be a responsible Rottie owner. I take my dogs to class, I socialize my dogs, I insist on good behavior via consistently practicing NILIF, I rescue, I do my best to educate wanna be Rottie owners, I work the dogs who need it, I religiously exercise my dogs. These tasks aren't chores to me--I enjoy doing them, day in, day out.

From your post, I conclude you acquired Sabot without knowing much about the breed. You certainly have come to the right place for info and help.

In addition to the valuable So You Want to Buy a Rottweiler, you may want to read So Now You Own a Rottweiler. It was written by people in my rescue group.
