Rottweiler Q&A

My Jack is about 5. We rescued her about 4 months ago. They said at the spca that she could not go home with a family that had other dogs or children. Aparently her previous owner got her to keep thier other dog company, but she did not get along with the other dog so they too her to the pound. I have her around my parent's 90 pound American Staffordshire Terrier and she has bit him when he comes to close. She is like this all the time with him. I took her to a dog park this weekend and she did pretty good. She played fetch most of the time, away from the other dogs and if they came near, she would growl and they would leave her alone. I am hoping that eventually she will get better.

Not really advice, but some reassurance. My family owns, and have owned for many years, Jack Russell's and have found them to be mildy agressive towards other dogs - growling, etc. We have introduced other breeds of dogs to our Russell's and found them to mix quite well after a short amount of time. Our current Russell can be quite territorial towards her chews and toys if our Irish Setter goes near them. All in all, it's normal for your Russell to be narky towards other dogs. If it does get bad then maybe you could go to a dog trainer?
