From Lucy, Western Massachusetts
The Rottweiler is a special dog.  I love this breed.  They love to work, please, and protect. Owners should be extremely loving but just as firm. Not everyone can give a Rottweiler the proper guidance and training he needs to be a good example of a breed with a bad reputation. Please don't own a Rottweiler unless you're willing to put in the effort needed to make him a good citizen.
