Pitbulls and rottweilers are constantly being persacuted because of their breed and City Officials are trying to ban our dogs because it is the easy way out!! Can dogs really pick and choose who their owner is? I say, ” NO” I will not give up my dog because he is a rottweiler, because you fear what you do not know!! Stand up and fight, say NO to BSL!!

the rottweiler is …
the rottweiler is not america’s dog,it is a german dog,meaning it has it’s origen in germany
Ok, I can admire …
Ok, I can admire your logic. Mine isn’t falty though, all this means is that my logic is insignificant compared to the problems we ourselves cause. However, if we’re going to use the “more important issues trump this issue logic”, then we should as a global community drop every other controversy in the world and start worrying about global climate change… Of course that’s not very realistic, so I’d rather just point out there are flaws in all the logic and there are solutions…
I don’t need to …
I don’t need to GOOGLE about how prone to violence Rottweilers are. Responsible Rottweiler owners educate themselves, as i have. I now have had the privledge to love and care for 8 Rotts in my time and NOT ONE has ever shown any aggression toward ANYONE! I wouldn’t go out and drive an 18 wheeler without having the proper training so why people go out and buy a dog that they have no understanding of is truely why BSL is in the world today!
I don’t believe …
I don’t believe guns should be in the hands of some humans either, but how many lives are lost daily because of them! There is more likelyhood of a child being killed by it’s own parents than by a dog. Humans kill other humans daily in many equally horrible ways so let’s do the world a favor and wipe out the most needlessly aggressive animal on the planet…. US!
If these sons of …
If these sons of come to take my rottie, he is going to be the least of their problems. I’ve had three rotties in my lifetime and not one of them shown any aggresive behaviors. I have a five month old puppy right now and he is nothing but love. He even tried to save me from the vaccum cleaner.
Keep reverting the …
Keep reverting the discussion back to genetics all you want, when I researched the breed I found tons of statistics that fly in the face of Rottweilers being an unconditionally violent & dangerous breed. I would never have gotten one otherwise. Just like someone has stated, based on your argument of people just having to get used to not having their Rottweilers, then every dog owner should have to give up their dogs, because they’re all unpredictable when it comes right down to it.
Actually, I can …
Actually, I can take expertise over anyone if I choose to, especially when I know of the expert’s credentials. The problem is that YOU don’t have to LIKE it, but I don’t really care if you do or not. My comments aren’t invalid just because you don’t like them. Don’t tell me what expertise I “can’t” take. Your whole “learn to live without them” argument is ridiculous and lazy, and flies in the face of the whole premise of our way of life in America.
Once again, if your …
Once again, if your going to address me do it in a response, otherwise. Also my facts are perfectly straight, peer reviewed dog breeder scientific journals on the alleles of certain breeds of dogs. Also, I agree its politicians, personally I don’t have a strong position either way, but to deny the facts is simply ignorant, the dog has a violent streak, and they would work well for police and military because of that.
I couldn’t find a …
I couldn’t find a single scientific article that supported the opinion that Rottweilers have no tendency towards violence, and are as harmless or more harmless than a breed like a lab inherently, hence the reason I challenged you over the subject. You can’t take expertise over someone else, when that someone displays more evidence, and offers a reasonable method of disproof which you fail to attempt, you can make all the invalid comments you want, it doesn’t make you right.
I haven’t had to …
I haven’t had to provide a writing w/ any peer reviewed journals since college, and I certainly don’t have an urgent need to use them to prove anything to you. But, we’re all very impressed with your ability to Google. I did all the reading I needed to do on this before I ever got a Rottweiler. I don’t care about your peer reviewed journals, becuase I’ve SEEN how they behave, I’ve talked to an expert who’s trained & raised them, so I think I’ll take his expertise over your opinion.
Again, I’ve already …
Again, I’ve already acknowledged the difference in the scenarios, and THAT’s what you ignored. I rebutted your argument before you ever made it, yet you continue to TRY to make it. The simple fact is, your “people can learn to live without them” is an absolutely ridiculous argument, if it can even be called that. That’s way too lazy a position to have as a resolution to this problem, and it would ultimately go over about as well as people learning to live w/o alcohol during prohibition.
daharen…look up …
daharen…look up these facts. the pitbull was the number 1 family dog in the usa in the 1920s. the pit was used in world war 1,2 and every war to the iraq war. they are police dogs, rescue dogs and still family dogs to this day. ohhh by the way..police do not ban dogs our politions do that.get your facts straight. until then just shut up!!
Okay what i dont …
Okay what i dont get is its okay to kill dogs because they bite or kill someone when humans do much worse to them and their own kind none the less why dont we just kill murder slaughter all the rapists,idiots,theives,ect all those why insteid put them in jail why not kill them? dogs can be rehabilitated so why do they deserve to die its not fair, when human kind does much worse.
Well I was going to …
Well I was going to try and post some studies from peer reviewed journals on here, w/ URLs but it wont let me. So I’ll just post the article and if you want you can look it up on Google Scholar.
Review article
Genetics of Canine Behavior
K.A. HOUPT
Anyways, it has all the studies and information you’ll need to develop your own opinion. Otherwise I dare you to find any peer reviewed journal that claims Rots are not dispositioned to violence.
BTW he addressed me w/ out replying to me…
I ignore that part …
I ignore that part because a person poorly driving a car is equivalent to a person poorly training their dog. However, a person driving their car well, and a person training their dog well should by your argument be equivalent, but they’re not because the dog even if well trained can still attack people, and there are plenty of cases in which well trained dogs do get violent, the car on the other hand if driven properly cannot do anything but what it’s supposed to, your argument is still flawed.
By the way, your ” …
By the way, your “people can learn to live without them” argument IS flawed, because of the basis on which you’re trying to make it. I shouldn’t have to give up my well-trained Rottweiler because my neighbor lets his attack someone, anymore than I should have to give up my car because he can’t drive. You conveniently ignored that part of my other post acknowledging the difference in the scenarios, but they’re still a reflection of their training, just like cars are controlled by their drivers.
Sorry I can’t …
Sorry I can’t understand logic? Nice try, but you’re only half right-you are sorry. I can’t control where YouTube places my post (and yes, I know how to reply to a specific post, which is exactly what I did), but thanks for being the post police. I read up on these kinds of dogs before I ever got a Rottweiler, and the vast majority of that crap is BS. It’s all perception, which is easy to manipulate to naive individuals who think as you do.
Let me make one …
Let me make one thing clear… I don’t really think police should have the right to ‘Ban’ any type of dog… I do think because they have alleles that make them more prone to violence than the typical dog, that officers have the right to use less discretion when a Pit Bull (Or Husky, or Malamute, or any other genetically dispositions dog), growls, barks, or moves towards them. Anyways, labs are a lot less prone to violence (Though there are cases), its fact not opinion.
Respond to my …
Respond to my comments if you wish me to respond more promptly, it notifies me. Anyways, I would like to point out that alleles have been discovered and altered in dogs that are normally friendly to make them more prone to violence. These same alleles are found naturally in Wolves, Huskies, Malamutes, and of course Pitt Bulls are on the list with a few others as well… The point is there is a wild streak in the dog that can’t be trained out, a lab is a much safer pet.
I’m sorry you …
I’m sorry you misunderstand the basic meaning of logic… Cars don’t think, dogs do. I could show you alleles that make wolves prone to violence, and show you the exact same alleles in Huskies, Rots, and Malamutes, however these same alleles are not present in some of the more well known tamed dogs, like Labs. Its not that any animal can’t be trained to be good, its that some have a natural tendency to be violent, and a wild streak that can’t be tamed out of them.
I could learn to …
I could learn to live without my car if I had to, and vehicles kill people every day. So, using your argument, maybe we should just ban automobiles, right? No, because it’s a person who’s responsible for making sure the vehicle is under control.
Obviously a car doesn’t have a mind of its own like a dog, but dogs’ behavior is a reflection of their training, and BSL is just ignorant and lazy. I think you need to rethink your logic. It’s clearly flawed.
the US should …
the US should rather ban the kives because they are frequently used to kill people. leave the dog lovers and their friends alone. keep fighting, Americans!. Good luck! Greetings from the Polish guy and his best friend – rottie – Misiu
but i can tell you …
but i can tell you what they have done.. changed the minds of many people who were once scared of this breed.. (including some family members) So to say BAN them all is just ignorance!!
Around Christmas …
Around Christmas time a woman where i live bent down to give her beloved dog a kiss and her dog bit part of her lip off.. what kind of dog did she have?? A LAB! Any breed and size of animal can bite and cause damage.. not just the ones that have a bad rap. I have owned, loved, and cared for 7 Rotts in my years, and NOT ONE has ever tried to bite or even nip at anyone…
so daharen you …
so daharen you would agree that some people are more prone to be violent? lets say black people…should we ban them? did you know that the pit bull was the number 1 family dog in the 1920s? did you know that the pit was used in world war 1,2, and to this day as rescue dogs? hey, i can live without stupid people and learn to live without them…that means YOU! get your facts straight before making stupid comments.
