Yeah? Well last night when I went to crawl into bed, I had to share it with two German Shepherds and a number of slobbery dog toys...
Aww!
When going to breakfast today I walked by a pickup truck containing FOUR Rottweilers. My life was in grave danger - I was almost licked to death!
Rottis are amazing dogs with a bad reputation. When raised normally, with their intelligence and strength, they make fantastic pets and babysitters.

My son adopted a 3/4 Rotti & 1/4 Irish Setter mix. Lance looked just like a Rotti, but his head was not quite so blocky. I was worried because they were expecting their first child. I remember saying, "Good Grief! You've taken in a dog that is a mix of a mean breed and a stupid breed. YOu're going to have nothing but trouble."
Well, it is not the first time that mom was proven wrong. Lance was a wonderful dog and a great companion to my grandchildren. The only thing that was a negative about that adoption is that Lance died way too young -- 12 -- of cancer. Of course, it might not have worked out. Lance's litter mate was a terrible dog -- mean and unpredictable. However, I credit my daughter in law for being a terrific animal trainer (she trains horses too) and that is why Lance was such a good canine companion. His litter mate brother might have turned out just as good, had he lived with my son and his family.
