Apparently you have some really watered down Rots. Let me guess now, all of you are from the United States. You take good German stock, breed it with inferior stock (but they look pretty) and come out with a totally different dog.
Wonderful. You have Lassie in dark and tan.

I was referring to the GERMAN standard. NOT the American standard. The GERMAN standard can be found in almost any Rottweiler publication. It has performance standards.

There are a lot of Paris Hilton rottweilers in the U>S> They look pretty, prance pretty, and take greatttt photos. But that is where it ends. They receive awards because of the way they LOOK. And of course someone breeds this animal, and guess what? We get another pretty rottweiler that lacks all of the qualities of the breed.

Your Rottweilers are not protective, not wary of strangers, don't care if they are with you, and best of all, "welcomes everyone"??????????????????? Pathetic

For the individual that asked about my 30 years experience and "titles". I trained WORKING military and security dogs. Dobermans & Rottweilers. Titles? You must be joking.

Personal attacks against him because he voiced his opinion. You don't personally know this person. He may be as he says. Retired from the military, after serving his country so that we can all be safe. Perhaps he is disabled, alone, and actually thinks he is helping with his posting. I guess you showed him while sitting behind your computers with the toddy mentality.
Is this what all of you are about?
If a post is generated that you don't agree with, you take it word for word and humiliate the poster, laughing at him, making jokes about him at his expense.

After reading all of your "cut and paste" and replies, I was sure that when I checked YOUR profiles I would have get a reference manual to interpret all of YOUR titles and qualifications. And so-

I took the time to view the "profiles" of the judges and found absolutely NOTHING regarding THEIR credentials, or anything about them in most cases. Not a photo, contact info, group joined, etc. These people have been on this forum for years and posted 1500+ entries and there is nothing about them listed. One profile just stated the country, other one states "titles". (of who knows what)
Isn't it strange that for individuals that supposedly know so much more about the breed than Otis, haven't posted a photo of THEIR dogs. Not any. Virtually not a bit of information on any of these people. And some of them have been on this forum for years. Interesting to say the least.

Even with all of the vile attacks, the guy still didn't personally attack any of you. I think that it is healthy and informative to get different perspectives from individuals that you don't agree with. In most cases it gives you a better understanding of the issues. It gives you the opportunity to view the subject from all sides.

Yet, you belittle someone that you don't even know, then asking "what are his credentials?, or "He should first "prove himself". Prove himself? To whom? Isn't this a group of discussion, listening to peoples opinions, ideas, concepts etc? This was his first posting in the actual forum. Are these people so self centered that attacking is the only way they can express themselves when they have a disagreement. But then thats easily done behind a computer screen when you aren't actually face to face.

You ripped him apart on the "temperament" issue. He may have meant that you have the ability to possibly "control" the temperament aspect to a certain degree. My Rott is very aggressive, but he has gotten better because of my husbands training. Of course "temperament" is a breed issue.

This was the "temperament" interpretation that I got from HIS post.

I just joined this forum, and for the record, I'm a 54yr old female and an introvert. I am shy and fit the category of "tech gal" (nuclear medicine). Being attacked, as some of you have done to this individual, would have devastated me. The concept of crushing someone that has done nothing to you is completely foreign to me. Especially when it seems that it was so well orchestrated.
I sure many of you got immense enjoyment from it.

Is this what all of you are about?

Please feel free to attack me. I won't be visiting this forum again to read it.

Its run by a chosen few, that supposedly contribute extremely valuable information, (and if you don't believe it, ask them).

If anyone dares dissagree with "our" moderators, guess what? Their posts aren't posted. Just like this one won't be.(but you will probably show me by posting it.)

By the way, who is this DAMP person that there doesn't appear to be any info on. "It" seems to have a lot to say when there is nothing about them that can be found.

And guess who our moderators are? "People that contribute the most, giving us normal humans valuable information that only they possess"

Sounds like DAMP.


Give me a break

otis, radioactive54 and temperamental are all one in the same person.
