Hi everyone!! I'll try to keep this basic. I'm the proud owner of a gorgeous little rottie bitch, 8 weeks old. Now, here's my problem. I sent my 13yr old daughter a photo of her, then her mother (who I do not live with), called me and her exact words were,"Please don't tell me that's a rottweiler in that photo? If it is, then there is no chance in hell that Charlotte (My daughter) is ever coming to your house again. I don't want her face getting ripped off. i don't care if you train the dog to paint the fence, it will turn and only takes two seconds to rip Charlotte's face off", to which I just said ok, phone me when you've calmed down.

Well, my daughter came last weekend, and her mum said she was allowed this weekend, but not in two weeks and she'll have to speak with me on the phone about it. What I actually need is some advice so I can give her all the facts about our dog. I do understand where she is coming from, but she is being very single minded about the whole thing.

What I propose to say is, I want Charlotte to be a part of Zuki's life and training, as she needs to know and understand who her masters are, then after a year or so when Zuki is big, if Charlotte feels uncomfortable being in the house, then we'll sort something then. I will not be leaving Charlts alone with the dog at any time anyway, as I believe that children shouldn't be left alone, even though she is 13, but my ex is causing me a great big headache and any advice on what else I can say to her would be much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!!...
