[Babybags]

My husband laughed at me and told me it was a St. Bernard. I still told him he was crazy. Our dog would be a house dog, since that's the way I've been to all my dogs I've owned. I'm starting to pick out my items for my first aid kit for the puppy. I'd like to be fully prepared before bring the puppy home, which by the way I'm not sure if we'll be getting one this Spring/Summer or the next year. My husband said we wouldn't need to teach the dog to be a guard dog, it would pick up on my vibes if something is wrong, including he said just by looking at a Rottie is enough to change a person's mind from coming near me.

From the breeders and trainers I've spoken too, they've told me no one needs to train any dog to protect it's family, all dogs do that in general, well at least the majority do. I'm not concerned about training a dog to guard me (THAT'S NOT MY INTENT) I'd only like to train my dog to be a good well behaved companion for my family and to be able to take walks with me and runs with my husband. I've been thinking about the CGC and Obedience trails that I'm very interested in doing with my Rottie. I love to walk around my small town and I'd really love to take my dog with me, I can't take the ferret, he'd run away.
