... OR MAYBE NOT | |
| Over the years we have spoken to a lot of people and heard a plethora of reasons as to why they are giving up their dog, strange reasons for why they want a Rott, how they define a German Rottweiler and their views on spaying and neutering. We thought we would share some of these realistic, amusing and sad comments. | |
Why do you want a Rott or why do you want a rottie pup vs. an older dog?  We have small children and a puppy would be better for them. We want a puppy so it can grow up with the children.Puppies are easier to train.An adult dog is easier to train.We want a Rott for protection.We never had one before and 'heard' they are good dogs.I like the look.I want a big dog.I want a pet that 'looks mean'.Why do you need to give up your dog? Can no longer take care of it.Too large.Too small Allergies.Moving and cannot take dog with.Moving to no pet apartment.I'm pregnant and can't keep dog.Getting divorced.Getting remarried.
