She has no control over it what so ever. Im now PETREFIED to take my babies for a walk as I will most deffinatley bump into her and her rotti. Please dont think I am stereo-typing big dogs, I just worry as she has no control of it. He could be a perfectly friendly dog, however what I have seen of him so far, I wouldnt like to take the chance.  |
I would talk to the girl. Her Rottie very well could be a sweetheart. But if he's taking the girl for the walks, he's a strong sweetheart. Rottie are very strong, and being new I would'nt take the chance. I have Princess who is my Yorkie, and Mandy, she's a 120 pound Rotti. Our daughter can't take Mandy for walks, only because Mandy is too strong,I insist her Dad goes with her. She is a sweetheart, and is super friendly with everyone, but big dogs are known to protect, and if they feel fear, they will act on it, you just have to be ready for it. So yea, I would talk to her, and maybe even the parents too if you get a chance. Rotties are great, all furbabies are, but you always want to stay on the safe side.
