...for a start the pup cant leave its mum until atleast 7 weeks.....you have to be very firm with them if from good stock (dont know about bad stock ones as i wouldnt buy one)...you have till about 15weeks of age to shape em...best in pairs this then gets them ok with other dogs..they dont like chidren due to same level eye contact in my experience...but again bring one up with a child you should be ok...BUT i wouldnt as i dont agree any big dogs should be allowed with young kids.

...very strong,intelligent and stubborn...females are a better guard,but males are more viscious.

..best dogs in the world except they fucked the breed up by the no docking rule unless they working dogs ..the rottie had no tail for a reason...and it cant be cruel to dock if you can dock a working dog
