I am currently adopting a part rot. I love the breed but more and more of them are put down because of the public's misinterpratio n of the breed. I do not know what really happened in So. Cal with the child that was killed by a Rot but the publicity surely hurt many rots currently seeking forever homes. The rot I have adopted is one of so many that people will not adopt purely because of the black color. Movies will never show them in starring roles simply of their color. They will only be shown as villians with rubber bands put on their snouts so their teeth will show. Oh well, that is the public perception and the studios are in it for the money only. That will not change. She seems like a great sweetheart and I wish you well.
