I really enjoyed the Rottweiler photos...they are such magnificent dogs,a nd a breed I love to paint. Newfoundlands, being the dog of my heart.

To answer you question on reputation. Unfortunately, yes, I think it is all over, not just in Oklahoma. Rottweilers are not the only breed to suffer this undeserved characterizati
on. Pitt Bulls, I think actually edge out Rottweilers recently. In fact, some cities have gone so far to ban some breeds, I believe again, that was aimed at Pit Bulls. An absolutely wrong approach, in my opinion.

Everybody's Rotties are just BEAUTIFUL!

I have been friends with a few Rotts in my life and I think they are just wonderful dogs. Where I live in Oklahoma though they have a bit of a bad rep, people thinking that they are viscious breed (of course, this isn't true and its all in the training or lack thereof). There is a lot of illegal dog fighting that goes around here though and I think that adds to the scare. Was wondering, do Rotts get a bad rep in other parts as well?
