Rottweiler Discussions / Re: Vicious Dogs.........Ha yeah right

Hi Everyone!
I am new here. My name is Marina Skoreiko.
I just wanted to say how much I agree with some of the statements in this thread!! We SHOULD be licensing owners, not enacting all this silly BSL crap all over the country!!
BSL is not going to fix anything, but licensing owners sure would!
In my experience with this breed I have seen both sides of the Rottweiler. There are the ones that are happy, well-adjusted, loving family companions. These are the ones that are raised properly, trained and are well socialized. I've also had the misfortune of seeing the dark side - what can happen when you don't raise them right. I recently took in a rescue who for his entire life (he was 3 yrs. old) had been either left alone in the basement while everyone was at work, or was chained out in his yard, left to his own devices. This poor dog was terrorized (sticks thrown at him, rocks, snow balls, etc.)by some brat that lived across the back alley on a daily basis until finally, one day, he'd had enough. He went over the fence (still chained) and bit her. Not his fault, but he paid the ultimate price for his owners negligence.
I took him in at the end of his 10 day quarantine to see if I could bring him around. He hated ALL children - couldn't blame him. He was extremely dog aggressive - can't blame him for that either, he'd never been socialized. He was fine with me and my husband for the most part, but anyone else that came to the house - forget it!! All teeth and snarling!! Sadly, I made the very difficult decision to put him down. I didn't feel he could be safely re-homed. Very sad.
Even sadder was that he was a CKC registered Rottweiler, but his breeder was not interested in taking back the animal she'd put on this planet. You see, she didn't "have room for him" with other intact male Rottweilers and her intact male Mastiffs, etc, etc.. You get the picture GRRRR!!!
Anyways, now that I've gone on and on.....I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and voice my agreeance with what was being discussed.
