I'm so so very sorry for your loss. I know you must still feel very emotional about this, but know you did the right thing. Like poobearsmom said, like people, sometimes the wiring isn't there and many who breed this dog do so just for money and not to perpetuate good traits seen in the dog's parents. I know you loved her so very very much, yet know that she loves you, too (still), and realize that you are a good owner to understand when it is time to let go. Like Pooh said, "a dog should be a joy to live with, not a struggle." Rotties are people dogs and is loyal to all in a household or in their pack. When that aggression starts to rear its head against the owner, that's a sure sign of poor breeding, which has nothing, NOTHING to do with you, it's totally on the breeder. My guess is that you got the dog from an irresponsible breeder (via some media like a pound or a merchant) that didn't care what the dog was bred with, but saw dollar signs. Nonetheless, you did all you could do and you demonstrate the best type of an owner for this breed: a responsible rottie owner with love in their hearts.

I hope you find a beautiful baby rottie again and give it all the love and tenderness you gave your rottie that passed. Continue to be blessed.
