For the love of god, can you PLEASE ***NOT*** capitalize every word??? Did you fail basic grammar? Punctuation is your friend, I suggest you use it. It's impossible to take anything you write seriously in this manner.

And to AHMED, I'm not going to sugarcoat anything....you asked several times if a Rott is suitable for you or not, and I think you got, like, 30 NO's. And you still don't get it. You don't seem very bright, so I suggest you NOT own an animal at all.

Not to bust up your party but I wouldn't advise a GS either. I at one time owned 2 (not together) and they too are family dogs. These guys only wanted to be with our family. Training is essential with this breed as well. One of ours was a big liability and attacked a family friend, someone he knew since he was a pup so don't think a good choice for you either.

Why look for advise,when people tell not to and you are anyway!

[chivas]

I think possibly NO pets would be the way go to - at least until you get some more information on raising any type of pet. And to respond to bigdogweilerx2's comment about cats being able to live outdoors and how dogs should not be allowed to live outdoors, the opposite is true, cats should NEVER be allowed to roam free for MANY reasons but the first being how you cannot confine a cat in your fenced yard. Some dogs do and should live outdoors, not neglected mind you.

So the advice I(and many others) posted earlier on getting either a GSD or a rottie fell on deaf ears.

Many people here have given you wonderful reasons and advice on why you should not get either of these breeds. Or any breed for that matter.

It doesn't matter how you look at it the advice is still NO!!! It is apparent from your posts that you have absolutely no clue as to the responsibilty of dog ownership.

Maybe you should start out with a pet rock.

Thank you Sasha's Mom. You have saved me from typing a lengthy post on both issues.

Ahmed: You don't get it at all. You are not a suitable owner for either a Rottweiler or a GSD. You are either unable or unwilling to understand what people have advised.

Just wanted to give you guys an overview of the Indian scenario and try and make you understand where the OP is coming from. There are plenty of people just like him over here.

And according to IPS news, the following:
India has the highest bite rate, approximately 17.6 milllion per year and 80% of the world's rabies cases. So, obviously, something is not working there.

Why even bother replying. He doesn't 'really' want our advice, he ignores every suggestion people make. He had his mind up before he posted his question. He is ignorant and stupid and because of this our breed, his dog or someone else will suffer.

This is one we can write off as a lost cause in my opinion.

OP...people can STILL poison a dog if they are kept in a fenced yard....Its called tossing a baited piece of meat into the yard.

No one will suffer, i will prove u people wrong........

Ahmed,
I'm going to suggest that you reconsider ANY working breed dog. These dogs are usually large, powerful, and capable of making decisions on their own. These qualities, which make them great for whatever job they were bred for, also makes them "too much" dog for a first time owner. When a dog is thrown into a yard and is not an integral part of it's owner's life, it does not bond to the owner....and in protective breeds, it begins to protect the yard. Since the dog is not particularly bonded to the owner, the owner (or anyone else comes into it's yard) is now at risk for being bitten.
Now, if you get a PAIR of dogs, and throw them in a yard, they WILL bond to each other rather than you, plus you have the risk of pack mentality...remember many attacks are by pairs of dogs rather than single dogs.
I have rotti's and I've fostered GSD's...both breeds need intense interaction with their owners...and they need an owner who understands how set consistent, fair rules for these dogs, something that a first time owner would probably have a hard time doing.
And, NO, neither breed is "aggressive"....my rotti's are social, loving dogs..but are also an integral part of my household, not isolated in a yard.
I don't believe any dog does well in a yard, as they are all pack animals and need you to be part of their pack. But some breeds are easier for the first time owner.

[mishmash]

i am a first time dog owner and chose a rottie as my first breed. willow is now 7.5 months and i know i made the right choice. but i did ALOT of research into the breed before i got him. i bought every rottie book available almost, i think ive read through every rottie site on the internet and joined this forum (which is fantastic+has helped me alot)

you clearly have never had any experience with the rottie breed or gsd breed, both can be fantastic,loyal, loving family pets and show no signs of agression at all if treat right. both breeds have bad press,but more so rotties. .this isnt because they are agressive dogs,it is because they havent been brought up right. i firmly believe its the deed thats bad,not the breed!!

i agree with everyone, a rottie is not the right breed of dog to be left outside

n thnx to mishmash also...... will show u d pics soon.........

I see that you are still confused and still not listening. A GSD is a working breed which I seriously doubt is suitable for you as a first time dog owner. Since they are a working breed, they need stimulation and training. They can be very head strong. What would you do when your dog stands up to you? What happens when he starts to test you as leader? Both of my GSD did this. I would think formal obedience is out of the question for you and I don't mean obedience out of a book. A GSD can be a big liability as well. If not trained and socialized properly they, and whomever they come in contact including an inexperienced, uneducated owner can suffer severe consequences.

Ok enough is enough......This person is intent on getting a GSD not matter what any experenced dog owner has suggested.
Now, I KNOW why it is hard to communiacate with the Internet over sea workers.
They really don't understand US.

For sure! That's a whole other story! Yes, I think this will be another dog added to the streets of India biting and spreading disease, specifically rabies. As soon as this dog tests this person, they will freak and the dog will be out the door.

Now your going to get a pari?????? Does this mean you planning on breeding this pair also? From the same litter? What are you thinking man you really need a good kick in the pants and open your eyes and read this information that these people are giving you, GSD are very high strung dogs if you dont give them the training and work they need I know I have had one, as for Rotties ur nuts they are not aggressive dogs they are hard working dogs that work to please you the owner. They need attention and guidance to become a well rounded dog, they shouldnt be left outside on there own they need family and the connection they make with that family to help them become a well behaved dog...

Just take your time and get something smaller and somthing that needs less attention and learn and research and learn some more and research some more, you actually might find a breed out there that would suit you better.




But Please dont get a rottie or a gsd, you dont have what they need and we have all read that from your posts... All of us here want the best for the breed. And you are not it, you dont know one thing about this breed, or the GSD either. Please spare us all of your babble and drop it you are not ready for a rottie and your not willing to learn or listen and take advice from those who do have them... If you do get either one of these breeds you will only be asking for trouble, I hope they have home owners insure over yonder and your payed up!
