This is nuts . This is a wonderful breed and they are extremely loyal to humans. It is not the breed that is bad ....but the majority of idiots who want to own this breed are not wanting them for good reasons ...which is why they are made vicious and unpredictable . Responsible owners everywhere own these dogs and they are wonderful loving pets . They would never hurt anyone or anything and are a true example of the breed . Some are therapy dogs , Search and Rescue dogs , Agility dogs ...etc Why dont we try to figure out a way to ban the bad owners ....why punish the wonderful families that love and cherish their dogs ...its just not fair . If you ban the Pit Bull those trashy irresponsible owners will just go after another breed to fight and make vicious . So then eventually i guess all breeds will be banned HUH ? When i was a vet tech I was bitten in the throat by an English Setter . When i was 3 i was attacked violently by 2 Schnuazers . I have dealt with rescueing over 200 Rottweilers , Pit Bulls and Dobermans among other breeds from shelters, neglectful homes, etc for the last 6 years and have NEVER been bitten by any of them . When they are in the right hands and trained and socialized properly they will obey and act as any other family pet . Put any dog in the wrong hands and it can be made into a monster . Please reconsider banning this loyal breed . Let's figure out another way so the responsible owners dont have to suffer for the irresponsible owner's actions . Here are some of the faces we have saved and rehomed . The Rottweiler is our personal family pet and i will never live without one in my home .
