Wow, thanks again. I don't doubt that this is an amazing breed, in the hands of the right owner. I'm one of those who belive that it's never the dogs fault, just the owners. It's just like with pitbulls.
Anyhow, their breeder seems to be out of her mind. The first weeks with the dog, this family refused to say "NO!" to the dog, when it was doing something wrong. Why? Because the dog "would get tirred and ignore it", if repeated to many times. Instead they snarled at the dog, because "that's what the mother would do". I told them that "NO!", is absolutly perfect, because you can never pretend to be the dogs mother. The dog isn't stupid. You're the leader, and nothing else. When 11 weeks old, the dog actually attacked the daughter in the family, and bit her face, when she was supposed to pet it in his bed.
By the way, me myself absoultely LOVE rotties. They are so darn beautiful, and awesome. I would have had one myself, if I wasn't to lazy with long walks and excersizing the dog as much as possible
