I was always aware of how quickly people are to judge but I have really noticed this a lot more since getting our puppy. A lot of you are probably thinking: “Why would she be judged for having a puppy?” Well it’s because he is a Rottweiler.
Please don’t judge me because of my puppy

People over the years have come to a judgement that Rottweiler’s are these really horrid animals that maul young children and people and that they have an aggressive nature and that they are all the same. This is not true. It is a lot to do with how they are brought up. People see my walking down the street with Winston (the puppy) in one hand and pushing the buggy. They are soon to rush over and make a fuss but then I know what’s coming. ‘O aren’t you brave getting a Rottweiler with a toddler.
Are you sure that is a good idea? I hope you keep an eye on him when he is around your little one. You don’t want him attacking him.’ I can see it in their eyes that they must be thinking I am a irresponsible parent because of this! Oh my god! First off what has it got to do with you and secondly he is the most content softest ball of fluff ever.
My little boy loves him. The dog puts up with so much abuse from my LO. He gets crawled over, things thrown at him, slapped in the head (trying to stroke him), and does he react? No. He just lets him get on with it. Obviously I wouldn’t leave them in a room together on their own, not because I don’t trust them but because I wouldn’t leave my lo unattended anyway.
Yes OK I am not saying that every dog is soft and content and yes you do get the aggressive dogs that you don’t want your children to go near. But I just wish that everyone who stop being so quick to judge. Just goes to show that because you have seen it happen in a film or read about it doesn’t mean it applies to every dog out there.
I would love to know your views on this?
My friend bred rotties n they were all lovely! We have a lurcher n i leave her n Chloe alone in the lounge while i clean etc. but then Chloes not mobile and Lilly is so laid back she’s backwards! She would happily lie on her bed all day!
I couldn’t agree more! I always get the same comments when people see my Boerboel, but the truth is big dogs, if brought up right, are much more loving and protective to kids than smaller breeds.
My aunty had a rottweiler and he was soft as a brush. He was great with people and children. And he massive too! As much as i agree dogs are dangerous. I think sometimes its down to how they are brought up and treat. I wouldnt judge anyone with a dog cos id like to think they wouldnt own one if they thought there child was in danger x
I don’t like dogs so would never have one anyway lol x
i had a rotty when i was little and he was the bet dog ever, he was my pillow at nap time, he’s play chase with us and every thing. the best dog i ever had
i have a staff n get the same responce hun, i hate them been labled as yes some dogs r nasty but must of the time its the owners n not the dog xx
I do believe that certain breeds tend to be more aggressive than others, it’s in their nature, but I don’t think that just because it is a Rottweiler that it will be aggressive – especially if you raise it from a pup with you LO.
I completely agree hun .. I’m judged because both my next four neighbours have staffies .. and I let me lil girl stroke them etc. Not every dog is the same. I feel like screaming it to people x
people are so quick to judge i mean its the owner for bringing them up as your lil pup sounds like a content lil thing with a heart of gold my oh wants a staffy but everyone is judgeing him for that as staffys are violent too apparently but were guna get him from a pup and train
ignore what they say chick you know your dog and your child as to be honest i cant see anything wrong with having a rottie xxx
70′s it was dobefmans
