And I'm the one who said you've only been here a short time. I was inviting you to really peruse the forums and appreciate the wealth of knowledge contained on these thousands of pages. Many, many people have volunteered their precious time to assist others in reaching a maintaining wonderful relationships with their dogs, and you come here bitching and moaning because you don't like the responses ANOTHER member got on this thread, instead of appreciating the fact that we are all different, and we all are entitled to our opinions.

If your experience level is such that you can contribute educated responses in the Training, Behavior, Rescue, General, Puppy Development or Breeding Forums, why don't you give it a whirl, we invite you with open arms. Instead, your panties are in a wad over responses that weren't even directed at you, unless you have more than one username on this Forum.

Opinions are just that. However, if you would extract your head from your nether regions for just one moment, you'd really read what many of us are trying to say. We care about rottweilers. Your rottweiler. My rottweiler. Everyone's rottweilers. We work tirelessly to help people understand the plight WE ALL are in during this time of political correctness (which BTW is for the birds).

I agree, you can put any kind of collar on your dog you want; your dog is your property. But while you're worrying about us hurting someone's feelings in a thread like this, AR folks are trying to change your status from "owner" to "guardian" of your property e.g. "dog". When that happens my friend, it will be a sad day for all dog owners. While you're busy bitching and moaning because we think we know it all, you're really not getting the big picture. Breed banning is happening all over; just call your homeowners insurance company and see if they allow rottweilers. If they do, they are only of but a few these days and count yourself lucky.

So, enough with the whining, and please do something productive for your breed of dog.

Extremely well said. Kudos.
