My first Rottie was aggressive. I couldn't let him around many people. I never trusted him and he would lunge. I had no idea how to properly train a Rottie when I got him. He had a history of biting. Thankfully, I have since learned so much and work my Buddy. That being said, I didn't give up my dog or pts until he was 13. Yes, he was a big liability and we were thrown out of kennels but I kept him and loved him all the same. My job was to protect him and anybody that came to my house or near us. Unfortunately, hubby didn't take the aggression seriously and Rommel bit him badly one day. (He probably had rage looking back on things). But he was my beloved companion. I kept him even after moving, a marriage and then having my son. Of course, if I had been given the great information that I've learned from here, maybe things would've been different for him. He did come to the beach house with us, rides in the car etc but he just wasn't allowed within biting range of anyone. It is a big responsibility having a dog that you cannot trust and a lot of work- training is a picnic compared to dealing with an aggressive dog but it can be done, probably not with present owner.
