| Re: Soon to be new Rottie owner
I just wanted to say I'm thrilled to find someone interested in researching the breed prior to purchasing!
I agree with Zumie - you don't need to bring a rottie home and train him/her for protection - the dog's appearance alone will deter anybody who intends to bring harm upon your family. Mine is a big wimp, but nobody would ever know that just by "looking" at her. Lookers will quickly walk away - but I personally feel it's more important to train the dog to be a family pet in this situation - something the breed can easily be trained to do! |
