15. My experience with Rotties…
As a mama of two Rottweilers, I would never own another breed! I have a sixteen month old male, and a ten week old baby girl. Both are incredible with my eighteen month old son and are his best friends. They play with him constantly and have never once shown a sign of aggression. I also have two other dogs, a pitbull and a lab, and they all four play together great! I can vouch for the drooling and the farting… boy does it stink! One of my favorite parts of a Rottweiler is it’s big strong body, but the most loving and strong heart. I would not trade my two loves for anything and look forward to making so many memories with them both!
It’s a ROTTIE OR BUST!
