| Thanks everyone so far for letting me know how you feel. We are going to go look at/meet a 1.5 year old rottweiler. The people who have him now got him from the shelter about 6 months ago, and they aren't ever home and they feel bad for him. They say he is a very sweet, and potty trained dog. He is currently around a 7 and 4 year old and the owner said her kids climb all over him and he just lays there. I just hope that he is that good with our kids as well. Do any of you have any recommendations of what sighs I should look for when we go visit him Friday? We have a 9, 7 and 1 year old. Appreciate any advice you all can give me, thanks! |

If he sighs like this "hhhhhhhurphhhhh" he just ate so don't touch his stomach "hhhhhhhhhhhhhgrrrrrrhhhhh" means he's a little grumpy so don't tug his left ear sighing like "hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmhhhhmmm" means he's thinking of humping your leg-back off slowly.... | |

| My experience w/rots - My parents got a puppy when we were young. The dog was sweet as can be and protective of the Children. When the dog was about 1 1/2 yrs old, it started a habit of snaping at my mom when she yelled at one of us, basically proctecing us from what she veiwed as dangerous. After that my parents got rid of it. I guess this could happen with any dog, it just happen to be a rot. After that we got a little rat terrior mix, and it never snapped at anyone :).... They just look so scary when they are full grown and barking at you.... |

 We've had 3 Rotties. The first, Maddie, DH adopted when she was a few months old and she turned out to be a great dog. The second, Monticello's Chandler, we got 10 years later when Maddie died. We got him from a great breeder in Georgia (Monticello's Kennel) and had our pick of the litter. We stayed clear of the very dominant pups as well as the very scared/submissive pups. The third, Rosie, we fostered for a short time when a relative couldn't take care of her. She was about 2 years old at the time. That did not go well at all - she was too hyper, too strong, and could not be contained.What you should look for? A Rott that's not crazy hyper, too far alpha, or too submissive. Lay the dog on his back and see how he reacts. You want a Rottie that will let you do that and stay there a few seconds before wriggling out. Surprisingly, I found male Rotts calmer and easier to handle than the females. We got Monticello's Chandler when I was pregnant so he grew up with kids jumping on him, pulling his ears, etc. I would expect him to run out of the room when the girls chase him but he loves playing with them and has never caused anyone any harm. If this dog is accustomed to and good with kids, that's a great sign. | |
