Rottweilers

I have a 7 year old Rottie me and my wife rescued from a pound, so we missed the puppy stage. Any ways we are getting a Rottie puppy in a couple weeks. I am going to crate train. We will let the dog out of course when we are home. I just want to know how many years I can expect to wait before I can leave her out all the time and not have all my stuff chewed up?

Depends on the dog they are all different. Talk to your breeder and pick the correct dog make sure the puppies are temperament tested and that should be the way to tell what your dog will grow up to be like.

I don’t have a Rottie but my one dog had the run of the house probably at 10 months but I have a nine month old pup that may never get run of the house at this rate he is way more active and he is into everything.

This is a serious question Bob the Builder.

lawlz. i’s gots 17 nips!

So Rottweilers and Pitbulls have been in the top 3 of dog attacks in the last 5 years, but why do people automatically think that when they hear the word Rottweiler, Pitbull or Boxer that it’s a dog they won’t own?

Those statistics are not true. There is no way to identify a dog unless you do blood work and test to see what breeds the dog is. People are ignorant and believe everything they hear on the media. I have owned a Rottweiler, GSD/Wolf mix, GSD/Cattle dog mix, Pit Bull, and I know two Boxers. None are aggressive.

Also, why do rottweilers have such a bad rap? Everybody I have talked to about getting a rottweiler, they always say rottweilers are mean, vicious and dumb. These are usually people that have not owned a rottweiler (I myself have owned one when I was a kid and he was none of these things)
So why are rottweilers viewed in such a negative light?

pros: they are Intelligent, gentle and lovable. For me, my rotties were the easiest to house break and train.

The cons: due to being one of the "popular" dogs for "guarding" the rottie has been over bred to the point that the breed is close to being ruined. There’s a lot of unstable dogs out there owned by idiots that don’t have a clue how to train or control their dogs giving the rottweiler the bad press it has gotten due to attacks.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the CDC, and the Humane Society of the United States, pitbulls and Rottweilers are the top two most dangerous dog breeds.

I think people should GET PERMITS to own these dogs.
The PEOPLE should be licensed to own them and handle them responsibly.
Yes, Pits and Rotties get a bad rap, but it is their inbred character if not kept under control that can lead to a disastrous situation.
