It is
that general idea that is killing our breeds. No one takes the time to learn and get to know a breed. And the ones they hear about are on the news for something terrible.
No, Rotts were originally bred for herding, if you have ever been around one, they are very physical dogs and natural herders.
Rotties have a "Wait and See" attitude, they generally wait to see what a strangers intentions are before reacting. People that have dogs that attack "for no reason" need to look at the dogs environment. Was he excercised enough? Neglected? All too often children taunt dogs, I put a really quick stop to that. I was coming home and finding sticks in the yard, and then one day I caught a group of small children (3-8 years old) squirting Bruno in the face with a water gun. He HATES that. Let it happen a few more times, he will start to hate them, and boom! He bites one and I loose my dog. That is how it happens. And try to explain to the parents that theory, they look at me like I've got a killer in my yard. No, your kid is a punk and needs disipline, my dog is minding his own buisness in his own yard. It starts with the parents of child and dog, morons shouldn't be able to reproduce.
