Hello, everybody. Had a question about MY BIG BROWN TEDDYRODY. Now, he is almost 1 year, he will be a year Jan 6, and he is so nice. Ive done research on Rody's and it says they are wary of strangers, and dont like other dogs. So since he was a baby, (after his shots of course) I take him everywhere and let people pet him and let him see other dogs, if there friendly. Im wondering is he just this friendly because he is a puppy still? Should i expect him to grow into the traits they say Rody's have? My vet is German lady and she is so surprised that my boy is so nice, She always ask me if he challeges me and or tries to be dominate. I told her he better not, im old school, if he ever bites me, he will learn the hard way never try it again. I dont hit my dog, but... Anyways I was wondering, My vet says the last couple of rody's she seen turned aggresive or over dominate with their owners. Is it just because they way they were raised? Do I have to worry about my Spazz becoming aggresive towards me, strangers, or other dogs?
