Dom and Cats, you did come to the right place to ask questions about this great breed. Many of the members here have been here soo long and have heard these same questions on a weekly basis that they do get a little snippy with their responses. However, for the most part they are very knowledgeable about Rotties. They only advice that I can give is to research a question before you ask, odds are it has been asked already and answered. This will help you avoid the snide remarks from some members. Good luck with your dog, love them and they will love you back
