Thank you. I did pet therapy with mine and the Paws 2 Read program at the local library. The ones I have owned-- Rottweilers, Staffords, and now a Cane Corso are all great ambassadors for their respective breeds. I take my responsibility as an owner of one of these breeds very seriously and do an enormous amount of socialization and training throughout the dogs lives. My last Rottweiler was a protection trained bitch that I imported from Hungary at 4 years of age. Most people would have been terrified to do so, with her training, size, breed, and age but she was the BEST therapy dog I ever had, and in fact was featured in a People Magazine article in the July 17th, 2006 issue for her Service Dog work. It was alot of fun doing that photo shoot for the magazine and when she got cancer in 2007 and had to retire from her Paws 2 Read duties at the library, they had a going away party for her and we had a huge turnout. She really changed alot of people's minds about Rottweilers. She passed her ATTS, CGC, and Delta Society temperament test with the highest possible scores. I got compliments on her from every evaluator. ..if more people knew how to properly train a dog, we wouldn't have nearly the problems we do.....
