Ihave a rotty and she is the most faithfull dog i have ever owned, i have kids and id rather leave them in her care than the care of my inlaws,
when myself and my wife come to bed she comes up too and goes into each of the kids bedroom and checks to see if they are "safe" before she will settle for the night,
Yes the breed i chose/like makes a statement, but the statement it makes has nothing to with the size of my tackle, ask yourselfs why my house has never been burgled when other dogless houses around have??
i honestly beleive that my rottie and others i have known would fight to their death for the sake of thier owners wellbeing.
people get bitten every day by all breed's of dog we only hear about the so called "Dangerous Breeds" because they make "Good News".
