[quote=Nishasmom;811631]Obelix: I am sure you are far more experienced in Rottweilers than I am; however, my opinion of the topic remains the same. I do not think a 10 yr old child hopping over the fence warrants a vicious attack.

Shouldn't a dog take time to evaluate the situation; determine if they are in need of defending?

Dogs do not evaluate things the way we do.They do not think(or act) in human ways.Something that happens thriggers a response and that's the way the dog will act.
What if the child had knocked on the door and walked into the backyard? Are you saying if someone enters your property w/o you, your dog is warranted to attack?? I just think that this goes against what I know of the breed. The dog should be protective, but not needlessly aggressive. Who knows, perhaps I have more to learn about our beloved breed.
However, some boys are known to torment dogs; if this were the case, my opinion would change.
Yes, the boys were wrong. But I do think the dogs were also out of line
