Rottweiler in ceveral Countrys

[Hundemama82]

Hy, I am from Germany and would like to know what Problems you have with your Rottweilers in the Staates you live.

We have to do a test with our Rottweiler that she can run without a leash and we dont need to pay so much tax.
I am very mad about it, because the German Shepard has more attakt here as the Rottweilers.
But they dont need such a test.
In some parts of germany its even not allowed to walk with two Rottweilers together

I would like to listen to your Posts

Here in Canada Rottweilers are often grouped into what is called big breed dogs. Many Ontario Towns (I live in Central Ontario) have by-laws that state we must muzzle the dogs when walking them. So far the only breed that has been banned here is the Pit Bull Terrier or anything resembling one, but our fear is that this law may one day be expanded to include Rotts, Shepards, Mastiffs etc.

In Turkey,
You are not "allowed" to walk your dog without a leash and muzzle (both at the same time) regardless of the breed...
I have a rottie and an american bulldog, we walk them on leash but we donot use muzzles, it just doesnt make any sense since they donot have any character tests like CGC, or BH going on, so no one can judge/ evaluate the character of my dogs.
There's no fine if you walk your dog without a muzzle or leash unless someone gets bitten. Then you can sue her (like us, when my husband got bit by a fear agressive German Shepard mix running free), for almost 3 months we are waiting for the trial.
We, large breed dog owners, are not allowed in stores, markets, shopping malls, buses, trains. Taxis wont accept a rottweiler (with a pit bull look alike american bulldog) The only transportation we are allowed to use is innerstate ships (thats where we put the muzzles on.)
In Izmir (western part of Turkey), we dont have any dog parks, dog free beaches.
We donot have OB classes for starters, the only information we get for training our dogs is via books or internet (thanks to forums). We donot have working dogs (it makes sense since we donot have any training agency...)
When my rottie was 3 months old i took her to Police Dog Trainig Center, and the said Rottweilers could not be used as Police dogs (but i have seen 4 rotties as police dogs in various football games in Izmir)
It is hard to own a dog here (and harder to be a dog itself)..

**by the way, no BSL here..

In Greece, there are no restricting rules or laws for Rottweiler owners, no leash or muzzle required, this is up to owner's estimation of dog's behavior. However the public opinion is biased against the breed as they are with pit bulls.

So far in the UK there is no specific restrictions on owning Rottweilers in the UK. All the normal dog control laws apply the same as to any other breed (excepting the 4 'types restricted by the Dangerous Dogs Act which are Pitbull, Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino and Tosa - BSL is rubbish and does not work ).

Rottweilers are vilified in the popular (trash) press here and therefore much of the general public is afraid of them. Luckily more and more dog owners recognise that BSL could affect their breed next and that it is innefective in reducing dog bites.

Here in South Africa there are no laws targeting specific breeds and many public parks, urban nature reserves, beaches etc. allow dogs provided they are leashed.

Due to the high crime rate, the role of the guard dog is accepted and undestood resulting in breeds like the Rottweiler, GSD, Boerboel and Bull Terrier being quite popular.

For the time being at least, and while our government has more pressing socio economic needs to address, dog owners in this part of the world can enjoy their companions without too much interference.

Here in Iceland we have leash laws, that is all dogs no matter what breed should be on leash while in public.

In Nigeria.... there are no rules..... survival of the fittest. Although I keep him always on leash, just for his own protection.

Here at the Dominican Republic there are no specific laws that states that dogs have to be on a leash. You might as well see the hundreds (thousands?) of stray dogs walking around on the street, and as there is not animal control, those are mostly the once actually biting humans. Whenever I go to the beach (mostly abandonded and far away from Resorts) with our dogs they are always without a leash, if people dont like it, they usually stay at a certain distance. At our Residencial there are over 30 dogs and most of them without a leash. The owner was furious and told us to put our dogs on a leash, which mostly everyone refused, as the owner´s dogs run around without a leash also ... so in a few words - no real law about that here.
If someone enters your property here and is bitten (or even killed...!) by your dog, the bitten person cannot do anything about it, as they were not supposed to enter or break in your garden in the first place.
How is that in other countries??

In Romania rottweilers and several other breeds (around 10 or so), need to have leash and muzzle both at the same time. You also need to declare the dog to the local police and to put a sign with "Dangerous dog!" on your door/fence.

Here in the Philippines we do not have rules in walking our dogs. but when your dog caused any problems your will be the one to answer for that.
Some dogs are on leash when they are being walked here. but at home most of our dogs here are free. muzzle is not not commonly used here.
i walk 2 rotts every wikends and i see no problem with that.
and also stray dogs are common here but most of them are just left and placed at home to guard and protect the house. Dogs are have territorial behaviours here.
We do not put signs in our doors and gates. Cause if a person went in its his fault if he gets bitten. it means he tresspassed. :)
