This really makes my blood boil....I wish I could rescue a dog but we just don't have the room or the money

That is terrible. How can people be so cruel? I could never, ever, ever give up one of my dogs.

I agree Zaclucy, I wouldn't part with Diesel for anything.....he's a massive part of our family!

as i was leaving for work today a couple from my village who has a 13yr old rottie bitch stopt to say they were having her put to sleep. why because there daughter wont have nothing to do with them until they get shot of the dog they have had her since the age of 6weeks. and because the daughter has just had a baby she is scared for her child so the bitch is in my kitchen i was late for work and to top it all off my husband doesn't know yet so i may be divorced tonight !!! I'm in work now so I'm hoping my husband wont notice when he gets home in an hour

Rivaz, well done, lets hope hubby has a sense of humour! I am sure he won't mind a bit. Poor old girl, how could someone do that? You'd have to go over my dead body to take my dogs. Let us know how you get on x

I'm going down after work to have a chat with the family the daughter has agreed to talk to me. so hopefully i can make them see sense

Good news they have been here for an hour with the daughter and as long as they put the dog away when she goes up with the baby. they can keep her as i explained to them any responsible owner would put the dog away if young children are present i explained i had rotts and never leave my 5 year old with them alone. that goes for any dog the dog was so happy to see them. and my husband is not home yet so looks like I'm not having a divorce! the daughter said she just panicked. I'm on the wine now cant take any more also to top it off (8) 8week old pups coming in to rescue its getting beyond a joke now i just wish people would stop breeding so many unwanted rotts my local paper tonight front page PANIC OVER DEVIL DOGS. many tears animal rescue have just had 3 four month old rottweiler pups handed in. also says Sylvia has had more then 20 calls asking for the dogs to be re housed. it makes me so sad iv been brought up with this breed as a child and The Rottweiler is a steady dog with a self-assured nature, but early socialization and exposure to as many new people, animals, and situations as possible are very important in developing these qualities. The Rottweiler also has a natural tendency to assert dominance if not properly trained. Rottweilers' large size and strength make this an important point to consider: an untrained, poorly trained, or abused Rottweiler can learn to be extremely aggressive and destructive and, if allowed to run at large, may pose a significant physical threat to humans or other animals. They can be strong-willed (bull-headed) and should be trained in a firm, fair, and consistent manner - the owner must be perceived as the leader. If the owner fails to achieve this status the Rottweiler will readily take on the role. However, Rottweilers respond readily to a clear and benevolent leader. Aggression in Rottweilers is associated with poor breeding, poor handling, lack of socialization, natural guarding tendencies, and abuse.

That is great news - thank god for people like you though!! I feel for all the Rotts that will be given away due to the press - yet again the dogs suffer
