Cant believe foreverwhite has the cheek to try and pelter anyone, whats that sig all about?

 

damn, there are a bunch of ignorant fucks on here talking like they know something about rotties. so many people that play up to the hype of the rottie being a dangerous dog. they are only dangerous when mistreated and or not brought up right. i have a rotweiler that is that sweetest dog i have ever owned. and yes she is great with my 4 year old niece. she barks at people walking down the sidewalk, but if any one comes close she rolls over on her back to get her belly rubbed. i also take he to all the car shows i go to. i have more people talk to me about the dog than my car and everyone of them either have rotties or have friends with them and always talk about how well behaved and well tempered they are. it's only the very minuscule percentage of these dogs that are mistreated or beaten or trained as attack or fighting dogs that you hear about in the news. you never hear about the other 99.99% that sleep curled up with children or that like to jump up on the couch with their owner because they think they are lap dogs. so, i supose that with the comment about the dog that mauled the grand daughter after being let in the house, that means that every single rottie is a dangerous animal? would that include anyone who stepped into a coral with a horse and it kicked them that all horses are dangerous beasts that should be exterminated or at least made illegal?

or maybe since there have been a small percentage of people killed by car accidents that all cars and their drivers should be illegal or exterminated. in all reality there is no more dangerous beasts than us humans.

 

Could someone expalin to me what actually is a 'working dog' and why would it be a weak spot or dangerous if it still had its tail?

 

Im dont own a rottie, so ill speak from taking the rottie that stays 3 doors down for walks,

He was bought from a proper breeder, the dog owner has bought 3 dogs from the breeder over the years, has had no trouble with any of them

He let it get used to young children(his 2 grand children esp) from the day he got it, he also trained it, but showed it that he was the boss and the dog would respect him.

The dogs just over 2 years old. hes huge and a big friendly mutt. ive taken him for walks and had no problems, he sits at the side of the road, and will stay there untill i give the command for him to walk across the road.

Buy one from a proper breeder, let it get used to children and people, train it well, see a proper trainer if you dont have 100% confidence in your own abilities. and you shall have a great dog for many years

 

I always thought that a dogs behaviour depends on how its brought up and how well its trained. Im sure many dogs can snap at any time without warning though, not just the ones that are seen to be 'violent' breeds.

 

ged u seem like a prick with your comments

 

exactly. rotties, pit bulls, dobies, etc. all are very good dogs. but they have to know who is the boss, and that doesn't mean by beating the shit out of them. but a person does need to remember that they are "war breed" dogs and must also be respected.

 

Allrite i have got 2 rottweilers Zoe and zara, mother and daughter. They are very good dogs to have as a pet but they just have to know who the boss is. But am feed up of peoples comments on how dangerous these dogs are when they have had no prior experience of dealing or handling them!

 

Have had rotweiler`s in my family since i have been born, and wouldn`t have any other dog.
They are actually pretty clever, but will often try to push there boundries, so they need an firm hand when you bring them up, but also A LOT of loving.
The more clearly you seperate the "good" from the "bad" on them, the better they understand(bit hard to explain)

 

I'd love a pet Rottie one day. It's not to look hard or any such nonsense, it's because the breed appeals to me. My dad had one when I was a kid. he also had a german shepherd and I love those dogs too.

Stereotyping people based on the dog they buy is ridiculous.

 

whats with the rolleyes clown.?

 

Anyone?

 

...tbh this topic is like cosworth tuning



..except i have owned to date 8 rottweilers..not a lot granted but enuff i feel to comment....LOL

 

..its called tradition..and keeping this breed to original form....we all know its not cruel to dock..as you are allowed legally if a working dog.....what the goverment are doing is praying on us traditionalists..they know rottie sales will drop with tails....they aint even dangerous unless told or mistreated...like any dog..a nervous dog is a dangerous dog...same as a human really...being hard may be ok to beat up the weak...but when the weak turn you get Ian Huntley...etc.

 

Sorry mate but you only have too look around you.. certain types of people buy certain types of dogs, there is no two ways about it.

In the same way the clothes, cars, tattoos etc etc reflect personality and project image so does the choice of dog, for many its a statement, a message to others.

 

that's a load of crap. i didn't buy a rottie based on my personality. and no one that i know has ever bought a dog based on personality. only the ignorant shit heads do that sort of thing. mine was a rescue, she was abused by her first owners and due to that has lost a leg. i took her in because she is one of the sweetest dogs i have ever seen. when she was younger she would wrestle around with me and if she accidentally got me with her teeth she would jump up on the couch witha very pitiful "i'm really sorry" look on her face.

 

...excuse neilm..he and his mrs are mr and mrs very average...they sit and whinge about others...they are currently booked to go on Trisha.

Two very faithfull,loving,protective Rottie's.

They have never bitten any one and both do as they are told, i trust them 100%
If any one is to blame about dangerouse dogs, you will find in "most" cases its the owners,

 

I realise its tradition and all that mate, but what is a 'working dog' exactly, and why would it be dangerous for one to have its tail still? Just curious really.

 

can't believe some of the shit that comes out of people who you'd normally excpect a decent answer from

Whats wrong with owning a Rott? if you know what your doing whats the problem?

And saying why not buy a lab it does the same thing a rott does is plain stupid

heres my 14month old rott



Heres his old man

 

well said, i was going to make the point of if the tail did get injured it would result in a massive problem. Being such active dogs they run around obliviously and could end up getting it caught somewhere resulting in serious pain.

lovely looking rott

and just to add to all the ignorant people on here, a Rottweiler is a fierce protector of the family.

dont know how many of you lot live in nice peaceful areas but i dont and therfore when ever me or my old man are not at home for long periods i dont feel to worried about my mum or sis' home alone. But other wise he is a big soft teddy bear , he is good at judging situations, if your in my house with one of the family he will get over excited and play with you

 

the nonsense trotted out by some of you lads is frankly ignorant,the way i see it its like this, if you have owned a rottie and loved it and trained it properly only for it then to rip youre kids to pieces right in front of you then id say you have a valid opinion to voice, otherwise, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IGNORANT CUNTS.

 

now those are some beautiful looking rotts....

 

here's a pic of sappho. yeah she's getting a little old you can see all the grey on her muzzle.



all the rest of you that have or had rotties, do they have amazing facial expressions? to the point that you can tell almost exactly what they want or are feeling?

she looks like a sweet heart

i wanted a female but im very firm with dogs and they sometimes earn a slap of me so couldn't bring my self to clip a female round the ear

(altho a clip doesn't stop them from being silly so i cant be bothered with that now) just have to hold mine from the scruff till he knows im not happy with him and he'll soon sit down with an "O shit" look

edited: Yes to your question

 

this is her favorite spot

 

i allways hated rotties till i met my mates got to be the biggest one i ever seen and what a lovely dog he is too soft as muck and he all ways does as he is told all though as said you do need to be firm from what i seen as they do push the boundries but other wise well behaved.having said that the bloke over the road from him owns 8 of them all penned up on the back garden and these are proper dogs (he trains them for guuard dogs,security etc) i been on his garden with them all all growling and snarling and that was intimidating i tell you but then again these are guuard dogs so they do what they trained to do .

 

Hear what you're saying matey, but not ALL people buy their dogs to look hard. That's the thing.

 

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".

 

Well said

 

its called tongue in cheek humour.
