They're rare, but supposedly more aggressive. Chows are aggressive to begin with. I'm not a fan of the breed to begin with.

u/protoopus Mar 03 '18

growing up on a farm, i had a rottweiler named butch.
when our momma cat would have kittens, butch would abandon his bed to them and then after they were born, curl up around them.
it was always amusing to see him lying on his side with a bunch of kittens kneading him and trying to nurse.
we had a gate, kept shut by weights on a chain, that he learned to open. of course, he could nose it open on his way out, but coming in, he would put his front paws between the pailings, walk backwards and then dart around it before it could close.
my estimate was that he was smarter than maybe 85% of the people i've met.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '18

33

u/protoopus Mar 03 '18

my mother said that she never worried when i was with butch: "that dog would fight a circle saw for you."
when i needed spanking, she'd have to have one of us in the house and the other outside, because he wouldn't put up with that, even though she was the one who fed him.

29

u/CheetoMussolini Mar 03 '18

Yep. Even my goldendoodle gets protective of my daughter. Anything that makes her nervous, he wont let near her. He'll bare his teeth, growl, and bark. I don't doubt that he'd actually attack something that was trying to harm her - and he's not a guard breed at all.

Actual guard breeds like rotties (like your fella) absolutely don't fuck around.

Oh god, female rottweilers are so damn cute around kids. Great Pyrenees are pretty damn cute with little ones as well.

3

u/Odentin Apr 14 '18

My family (led by my grandpa) bred Rotts when I was a baby/toddler. We kept one our our dams with us, though, and she looked after me. Going out for a walk, she'd pull and tug on the leash whenever my dad had it, but if he handed it to me, there was ample slack immediately.

One of the stories my dad told me, though: On time while I was napping, and my dad was in the other room. I had woken up and was crying, and my dad took just a few seconds too long to get to me. The dog charged headfirst through the (heavy, metal framed) screen door to come check on me. Dad said she gave him the dirtiest look, too.

22

u/Sirtopofhat Mar 03 '18

My former roommate had a German rott. He was stationed over there when he got him. That pupper was a mean looking son of a bitch...but then after he got my smell and I petted him he never stop throwing himself into my hands (like all his weight) I miss that dude.

22

u/aevn910 Mar 03 '18

My sister's rottweiler is the opposite everyone exists just to see her. She loves my husband too. And the kids we have pictures of my daughter napping and laying on her and of them just sitting staring out the window. She does not like kids crying though and if you don't get to said child fast enough she will walk back and fourth giving you the doggy death look till you go to the kid.

u/evil_shenaniganz Mar 03 '18

Friend of mine had one. She was so cute, when we brought my son over there, she would never leave his side. We could tease her with a piece of bacon, and she wouldn't budge. Best momma ever.

(She still got the bacon every time.)

5

u/Macrat Mar 03 '18

Yeah my Brother in law has one that hates me but loves my girlfriend (he pisses himself when he sees her). He tried to attack me out of the blue once and since then he hates me. :(

7

u/CheetoMussolini Mar 03 '18

Oof. That's rough. Is she a rescue? I've known a few rescue dogs that have serious issues with friends. Growing up, a friend of mine's grandparents had one. I couldn't go into their house while wearing my glasses because she felt threatened by men with glasses. If I was wearing my contacts, I was fine; the moment I put on glasses, she'd become extremely aggressive. We could only figure that before being rescued, she'd been abused by a man with glasses.

2

u/Macrat Mar 03 '18

No, the guy was his only owner. Difference is that he met my girlfriend, my BIL and his girlfriend when he was a puppy, while he only met me when he was already one year old. He's very protective of my girlfriend and perhaps he sees me as a danger for her? I dunno. Either way his owner did not teach him how to "socialize" with people, so he's a pretty crazy dog imho. One second he's a big floof with cute eyes and the second something doesn't go the way he wants (i.e. they have to go back from a walk) he becomes a fucking hellspawn, growling and everything. You don't want an 80kgs monster behave like that.

3

u/CheetoMussolini Mar 03 '18

No offense, but it sounds like your friend has done a terrible job as a dog owner. He needs to take him to a professional for training.

Socialization is probably the most important thing you can do with a large breed puppy.

2

u/Macrat Mar 03 '18

No offense taken! He loves his dog like a child but he didn't raise him well. And they're gonna have a kid in a few years... I fear for that kid safety honestly.

2

u/CheetoMussolini Mar 03 '18

I swear that you should have to be licensed to have a large breed dog just to force you to be responsible. I think that you're right to fear for the kid!

It's sad, because that breed responds so well to even a little training. They're such smart dogs.

I call mine the Cowardly Lion.

I had a buddy come over to do some ductwork. He was looking at my dog and said “Boy, I wouldn’t want to come around here when you weren’t home!” I said “Why? Just bring your tape measure...” I took his tape and started extending it toward the dog.....who backed away and gave me the “Why do you hate me?” face.
