What have i let myself in for?
Karen696:
I used to go to dog training sessions, the trainer there reckoned they could be great dogs... so long as they knew you were boss.
A case of being firm and fair and giving lots of affection - not so different from any other dog...
Oh, and as with any 'rescued' dog (no matter breed or the size or the supposed temperament), never leave them on their own with children. But you knew that anyway.

This little one is 1/4 Rotty and the rest Dogue de Bordeaux :(biglove): and she's giving us some real good fun at the moment. She thinks she's gaffa, but she's learning who wears the trousers in our house............... Mrs J :lol: :lol:
Her 7 month old brother is quite impressive in size and his head is massive, but what a gentle giant. It's all down to the dogs training to how it behaves and if it goes wrong there's doggy behaviouralists (a dog shrink :roll: :lol: )
electricbluebadger:
Couldnt agree more, a dogs personality depends largely on its upbringing and the dog knowing its place in the pecking order 'firm but fair', the only thing I've ever noticed with rotties is females can get very possesive of a favourite chew/toy/bone etc but will give plenty of warning if its not a game...
Cheers Steve

That's not just Rotties, our sheppardsa are the same. Bracken still thiks she is boss, anbd all the toys are hers.
Max takes them knowing full well that it may start a rumble, but that's part of the game.
Our dogs know the difference between adults and children, most dogs do once they become adults themselves. It's when they are puppies they can be too boistrous even if they don't mean to.
