Skonk, we've had 5 Rottweilers and every one a gem, a couple of them used to visit sick people in hospital to make them feel better

nice one MD, "Pat a Dog" or similar, our brown one on the left did the same for several years , he loved it

[skonk]

I've never known a more loyal dog in my life. That's great you took them to visit sick people, MD. I was one of those people who was against rotties, until my girlfriend took me to see 6 pups and I fell in love with them that day. They get so much bad press, but I always say to people, every time you see a rottie in public, 99 chances out of 100 they are excellently trained and well behaved. it's the minority who want trophy dogs that ruin the reputation.

[maroondevo52]

Totally agree, Skonk, every one we've had has also been superb with kids.

[skonk]

I know of people who shake their heads in disbelief when you tell them your rottie is good with kids. As a responsible owner, you know never to leave a child in the same room as your dog, no matter what breed, but when it's in company of yourself and kids, they are so friendly.

I used to go to shows where my sister would show her Rottie, I walked into a large barn and there must have been about 40 of them chained to the walls, I could feel the colour draining out of my face and something else running down my legs

I've said it before and ill say it again it is not the dog any breed of dog can be trained correctly and be a credit it is the minority of us humans who is to blame and as a result sadly it is the dog that has to pay the price this is wrong when in many cases the dog is still young enough to be retrained and yes that owner should be forced to pay any costs because maybe that will make them think again

Hmm I get a virus alert at that web link.

[skonk]

Biggeorge, what anti-virus you using? Sometimes some AV's can give false positives, or depends on how high the security is set. There's no virus on it, I use Nod32, possibly the best anti-virus there is. Ignore Norton, overhyped scareware I call it. The ads scare you into thinking your pc will explode unless you install Norton.

ive had two Rotties over the years, first one Sampson from 8 weeks old, a real big lad, he was a gem! Died at 6 from kidney trouble

 

Second one Max from Rottie Rescue, he was such a gentleman, and my baby! He died when he was 10! I have 3 kids and they were perfect with them, and always well behaved!

 

Got a yorkie now ha ha ha, Teddy, love him to bits!
