I have owned Rotti's for several years and i also owned a rescue Rotti (which to be fair i also thought like youself i would never do, as you never know the dogs past), but then I asked the same question to a friend of mine who works for the a Animal Rescue Centre, she told me the best way is to look into there eyes while giving them a treat. If the dog has been well trained it should sit and wait, then with the softest of touches, it will gently take the treat out of your hands. That is when you know if the dog is well mannered or not. Hope this answer helps, they are a fantastic dog and friend to have. i am married with a three year old daughter, my rottweiler is six years old and we have never had any problem with ben my rotty who is twelve stone but very fit and healthy, common sense is vital not only with rotties but all breeds where chiildren are concerned, i remember when sophia was sleeping in her cot downstairs only my wife and i were permitted by ben to approach sophia and anybody else had to be accompanied by my wife or myself, rotties are the most loyal dog ive ever came across, ive had a staffordshire bull terrier and an english bull terrier altough both were 1st class dogs they dont come anywhere near a rotty for protection guarding or intelligence they are so easy to train,i had ben house trained in 2 weeks and as soon as his vaccinations had been done me and my wife took him to training classes in greenford west london, he came first in every event i put him in for obedience, i personally wud'nt consider another breed they are the ultimate dog in my opinion and i have alot of knowledge of dogs |
