| Re: Is it really a Rottweiler?
OK Skip, you don't believe or like the swing set story and thats fine.
EVERYTHING else Otis said had merit, everything.
For others, don't confuse a protective and aloof dog as an out of control bomb, it's not and it is the behavior listed in the standard---A Rottie is not supposed to fall and fawn at the feet of everyone it meets--read the darn standard!!
Nor is a Rottie supposed to attack and bite at a friendly approach---again, read the standard.
Also, the point about Rottweilers suffering because the owners picked the wrong breed is very very true---it happens all the time---some people get a Rottie and it wasn't what they thought it was or were not ready for a Rottie or had the wrong personality to own a Rottie --Whatever--and the dog suffers or gets put down---happens everyday.
If you want Otis to back up his claims on training fine but don't dismiss everything else he said because it is true.
