That's just so sad. At least the numbers look pretty good for the Rotti's side.
I just came home from an "AGGRESSION"
case with 2 Rott's. An intact 2 year old male Max (the problem child), and his new 3.5 mth old "sister" (owner plans to breed)
Tessa.
The reason the word aggression is in quotes is because this big scary beast Max was the sweetest, most misunderstood creature you could imagine.
The owner, a very nice..though uniformed lady, has babied him to the point of complete stress. When I approached the front door, he met me with deep intimidating barks, a half wiggly bum, and a total look of fear.
I wish that novice dog owners would stick to the less capable breeds instead of buying a dog for all the wrong reasons...in her case, protection and beeding....gawd knows why???
The session went very well, I may have talked her out of the breeding..this 140 lb. boy is marking like a madman
, I was tempted not to advise her on how to curtail this behavior as it just may convince her to neuter sooner.
She signed up for puppy school with the youngster, something she previously thought was unnecessary.
As for Max, with continued support he will learn that he isn't responsible for her entire household and he can Relax and Be A Dog...
The above scenario plays out all to often with the huge Rotti ending up in big trouble...for no explanation other than lack of training and information.
