Hello all
I currently own two Rotties, Bishop and Athena, and it's an understatement when I say my wife and I love them to death. I just read a disturbing artical in a local news paper about a four year old child in Eastern Canada being mauled to death by acouple of Rottweilers. This disturbs me because of the death of this poor four yr old, and it also angers me. How were these dogs raised? I'm stead fast in the notion that owners make the dog. Granted, Rottweilers are by nature territorial which in turn gives them a perception of being aggresive, however, this can be curved by proper training and love.
I'm concered that there may be a public outcry against Rottweilers because they're "Rottweilers". All dogs have the tendency to be aggresive. I believe aggresive dogs are a product of poor ownership.
I'd like to hear from other pet owners, particular other Rottweiler owners, regarding this subject.
