Hello,

I'm considering buying a Rottweiler and I need some information to determine whether or not a Rottie is right for me and my family.

I've been doing some google searches about Rotts and they sound like a great dog...only thing concerning me are the bite stats. Rotties are the number 2 dog involved in fatal attacks. I just can't ignore this.

I have 2 boys and a daughter, ages 14, 12 and 9. We owned a Doberman Pinscher (passed away in May) for 8 years and we're familiar with how to behave around dogs.

My close friend is the breeder and it's one of his dogs I'm looking into buying. I've talked to him about this and the dog we're looking at is one he feels very confident about...but he may be slightly bias and I'd just like to get some more opinions and input regarding this breed and children. etc.

Thanks!
