RE: Paw:Look what we found
-- Rotties seem to have more pack drive than most of the other breeds, and don't really do well on their own. Thats why Rotties that spend too much time alone become so anti social. I agree they are known to get antisocial in an environment where they are chained up and get little attention. --- My Rottie bitch had a pet cat for many years. http://www.reginakennelclub.ca/image/Misc/pages/leica_tmax_jpg.htm - That's a really cute picture! 8) - Dogs don't have the mental capacity to think they are anything other than what they are. Dogs mental capacity differs greatly from breed to breed and from every individual dog. The owner has a lot to do with how well a dog try's to learn our language and ways though. Mine continually amazes me demonstrating much more intelligence then most people think dogs are supposed to have by knowing the meaning of many more words then average. If your Rottie has issues with other dogs, you might want to consider some socialization work. It is so much more pleasurable to own a dog that you don't have to worry about going goofy when an unexpected situation arises. Been there, tried that, didn't work out well. He will listen to me as long as I'm keeping an eye on him, but the first chance he gets to follow his own ideas, well he gets into trouble. As long as the other dog doesn't want to be boss life is good. However if the other dog has similar ideas, well maybe mumbles as first, but if you continue to try to socialize the 2 real serious blood shed will follow if the other dog doesn't back down. That can get expensive and cause misery for everyone. We even had him neutered, but it didn't help. As long as he loves people I can deal with the other issue. He's almost 9 years old now, and a wonderful friend. Umm... we might should drop this now as I really don't see how we could get any more off topic..lol. William Robb

Doesn't matter. I (like you) was thinking that the comments applied equally to both... lol -knarf The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

Re: Paw:Look what we found
If I had two pets, and one of them killed the other, I'd very soon have zero pets. Then I'd have to go out looking for one or more replacements with a better, more trustworthy disposition. A pet that kills is potentially dangerous. Who decides the next victim is just a worthless cat. The killer dog? What if it's a baby belonging to a friend, a neighbor, or ... But, that's just me.

Hear, hear! And cats are far better companions than dogs IMO, but let's not go there as we all have different opinions.

RE: Paw:Look what we found
Just because dogs don't like cats...or in my Rotty's case even other dogs, has nothing to do with their disposition towards people. The only time my Rotty would ever try to hurt you, is if you tried to hurt the baby first! He just adores people in general, possibly because he truly has no idea that he's a dog. That part just could be my fault!
