| Re: Potential owner questions. You say you've been a Dobie owner, right? Then you probably already realize how wrong stereotypes can be about certain breeds (with the exception of untrained/unsocialized dogs of course!) Most people I have talked to in my life were terrified of dobies because they've been in lots of movies and don't realize how sweet they really are. Rotties are in the same boat and they are semi related breeds. Personally I feel dobies are sort of a hyper version of a rottie LOL :) AND if your kids were able to properly behave/live with your Dobie they'll have no problem with a Rottie (our first baby was a rottie and my children were actually our 2nd & 3rd kids--Nero raised them! :)) My kids are currently a 13 yo son & 11 yo dtr and they're doing great with our 7 1/2 mo old rescue Rottie. Keep reading RDN and doing research until you're TRULY comfortable with your decision. GOOD LUCK and you'll be happy you "crossed over" to "our side" LOL |
