I love big dogs, I think they are adorable. I wish I had a giant Siberian huskie to hug. Rottweilers make me a little nervous but that's only because I use to live next to neighbors that had one who got loss once when I was little and it grabbed my -other- neighbors little dog in its jaws and snapped its neck. The dog was apparently very sweet to children but said dog that was killed was one of the smaller toy breeds and it was very yap happy, which the rotweiler did not like at all. It was very sad and upsetting, obviously and the police were called but nothing ever came of it.
I think -both- dogs had gotten loss. The yapyap dog lived in the backyard but it was fenced off but the dog would sometimes manage to leap the fence. I was 7 or 8 when this happened so I guess it imprinted on me. I think rottweilers are cool to be honest.
