If indeed the breed is watered down - it is because of BYBs and puppy mills which we (the collective responsible rottweiler community) are trying to stop. However, this is America and people have rights and regretably these people by exercising their rights to breed inferior dogs may infringe on my right to own my breed of choice. My Cromwell always took his clue from me. He would reflect how I received a stranger. If I was apprehensive, he would be alert and watchful - if I was open and welcoming - he would relax. Isn't that what he is supposed to do? Isn't a protection dog supposed to be tuned into his handler and only act on command? I am not an authority on this but if I have been misled by my reading please correct me.
