It usually takes a bunch of work to make them aggressive, but I grew up next door to a pair that was legitimately (trained to be) dangerous. It was always just a matter of time before they broke out of the fenced yard, mauled a passerby and ended up being put down. Love rotties, though, and even the ones who aren't too keen on most people seem to like me back.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

@@ladyspartafitness Barking isnt neccesarrily a sign of aggression. Its literally a guarddogs job. I have meet plenty of guarddogs (growing up in the countryside) that barked at you to make it clear, that you are not allowed to enter the property, while wagging their tail, basically saying, "i have nothing against you, but if you go over the fence without my boss being here, we will have a problem". And thats exactly what they are supposed to do. Which is also why mail boxes, when there are free running dogs around, generally are not at the house, but at the gate (well at least in my corner of the world).

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I briefly had a pitbull who did the same. She pulled hard on the leash when people walked by and it looked like she wanted to tear their face off. But when they were past, she whined and cried for them to come back. She was amazing with people and dogs at the dog park, but did have a bad habit of jumping on people. She fell in love with one of the guys at the park who didn't mind her flopping all over him, though I felt awful about it 😅.

[@kpturn42]

@@ladyspartafitness my positive interactions with dogs do not in any way invalidate your negative experiences with untrained, aggressive, and reactive dogs. I know that I’m incredibly lucky to have routes with very well-trained dogs that are excited to see the mail person, and that my experience is not the norm. I always test a dog’s reactivity and willingness to interact positively before taking the personal risk to deliver. There are definitely a few houses on my routes where I do not interact with the dogs because they have shown obvious signs of real aggression towards myself or the truck, and others where interaction is not in the best interest of the dog because they are working livestock guardians. A lot of my knowledge of aggressive behaviors and telltale signs of potential risks for aggression have actually come from watching the more “dangerous” and “reactive” cases on this channel, and that knowledge has helped me immensely in keeping safe in my interactions with dogs while delivering. I’m not looking forward to the day I get bit, but I’m sure I will eventually.

A properly trained and socialized Rattweiler only becomes agressive if someone or something is threatening their family. Same as with the Bullmastiff, German Shepherd, Doberman, Cane Corso, and even the Labrador and Bully breads. . The most agressive dog I have ever seen is the Chihuahua. Good thing they are not big.

[@sirennightshade4977]

I would argue that if any breed deserves a negative reputation, it's chihuahuas. I've watched a lot of breeders and trainers on youtube and generally they all agree that the honestly meanest dogs are the smallest ones -- not because they were bred that way, but because most owners of little dogs treat them like pack leaders instead of giving them any amount of discipline. I've been bitten by dogs twice in my life, once by a German Shepherd and once by a Chihuahua, both because I was trying to pet them. The Chihuahua's owner didn't even acknowledge the bite or take responsibility for it.😐

Applies to all breeds. And I would argue that the smallest breeds should actually be the ones that have the reps that rotties and pitties get. Way more people are bit by teeny chihuahuas with Napoleon complexes than by any large breed. But even with those, it's absolutely the lack of training by the owners. People tend to assume that the smaller the dog, the less training is needed, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I know a rottie-pittie who was likely bred to fight but is the biggest smoochiest snuggliest baby! He was literally rescued from the snow at 6 weeks. He had a missing muscle group on one leg and had a slight limp & appears to have been just thrown away while alive. He was likely rescued pretty fast, he was in good health and with exercise, his gait was fixed completely. He is a massive adult dog, but even when he believes there may be a threat, he does not choose violence. He’s very much the “let’s lock the scary thing in the bathroom/garage and let mommy handle it” kind of good boy. I am always cautious around dogs who are stronger than humans, that’s just common sense, but he is an absolute angel. And it’s beautiful that his missing muscle ended up saving him and giving him a wonderful loving family ❤

My uncle had a rotty and he was the biggest cuddly sook I've ever seen. He loved us kids so much, and was super protective of us. It's been like 15 years since he was alive and I still remember how much he loved it when we were at my uncle's house

Rhonda reminds so much of my sweet Rottie girl Luxa. She too was a rescue and became a service dog for one of our friends. However our friend never got comfortable with Luxa and we adopted her. We had 9 glorious years with her until she succumbed to bone cancer at 11. Hands down, she was the smartest, the most loving dog I have ever been blessed to share space with. I still miss her every day. Thanks for sharing Rhonda with us. Although seeing her be so brave and stoic during her bath made me cry thinking about my girl it was joy to see this beautiful dog today.

I know my Bella gives the best hugs. I wake up to a cold wet nose at the side of my bed every morning💗

[@heatherbryant6090]

I would like the thank this angel’s owner for adopting her and naming her Big Rhonda. I think they both got pretty lucky.

[@janicecrockett1400]

I had 4 Rottweilers that spanned a period of 16 years and they were the sweetest dogs. My vet said they should be the poster children for Rotts - Elsa, Anzel, Eli and Ali Belle were their names. I would still have one if it wasn’t for my age and degenerative disc disease which forced me to downsize to Mini Schnauzers, Zach and Zoey. I love dogs. My Rotts would lay on their back, stick their feet up in the air for me to clip their nails. It was funny to watch.

[@user-gv1gj8pq4u]

I had a Rottenweiler for 13 years. He was my buddy. Smart and gentle as Lassie. One of the best dogs I ever had. Miss him. His name was Beau.

[@DarlinDarable]

what a sweet baby. 45 minutes to groom, 2 hours to snuggle

[@cwbintn8949]

That big ol' smile while Rhonda was in the shower is so precious omg. I love Rotties so much, they're very lovable.

[@fiveironbrad]

We had a rottweiler when I was a kid. My mom put a spike collar on her at first since she was unsure of her temperament, the kind that digs into her neck if the leash is pulled hard. We took her hiking and my mom was pulling hard as she was afraid and the dog was so big and strong, then the dog bit my mom's arm very very gently so as to communicate that the spikes were hurting her. My mom immediately understood what a sweet and controlled dog this was and took off the spike collar. She was the sweetest dog I've ever known.

We had a Mal/Boxer mix named Underfoot (yes, that was her name) who loved baths and showers. We had to start locking the doors when we took showers because she was 80lbs of solid, energetic joy at knee height and would bullet train into the bathroom if we so much as turned on the tap to wash our hands. More than once if we forgot, we'd start taking a bath or shower and find ourselves with large, fuzzy company. I miss her but I know she's living up to her name and being underfoot of all the angels.

[@debjoy12]

it's like that meme, "you mean *our* bath" 🤣🤣

[@Smittenhamster]

What a difference to the senior dog you had before. A real treat!

[@ldftrdnk]

One of the most gentle & mind blowing smart pups I’ve ever met…..love them

[@xGxPhantomZzz]

Grew up with 6 dogs. Our Rottweiler was the sweetest, most loyal and obedient of them all. Apparently it took years of training to get her that way, but worth every damn second I'd say

[@goldfishwishes]

in my life ive never met a mean Rotty. They have always been the biggest sweetest dummys i love them so much

[@DustinP1978]

A well bred and well cared for dog of any breed is a recipe for a great animal. Ms. Rhonda here is a perfect and beautiful example.

[@williamhairston1857]

OH MY GOD, SHE’S SO GORGEOUS!!! I can’t BELIEVE someone gave her up!!! She seems SO SWEET!!!

[@nickmiller2636]

My mom rescued a Rottie boxer mix from a truck stop. He was practically skin and bones when she took him in. He got along well with her current dog Scarlet, a black lab. When I was born he was very protective of me as a baby and always took care of me. Fly high Murphy

[@littlebear274]

Sad to think of a rottie being "skin and bones" because they're supposed to be really solid. Not overweight obviously, but solidly built. It's one of the awful things about breeds getting reputations for being aggressive and mean, bad owners will get them and treat them terribly.

[@renater.540]

Around 30 years ago I lived in a small (but lovely) Bavarian village with a Rottweiler in the neighbourhood. When I passed the house on my way to or from work she would come to the garden edge ( no fence!) to greet me and get some cuddles. Anja was the sweetest dog I could imagine ( and I'm by nature a cat person). I've moved since but I still miss her kind and calm ways.

[@randomhero2480]

Love how you took the opportunity with this big (beautiful) “scary” dog to talk about what it’s like grooming and how you handle it. And also dispel those stereotypes, Ronda’s so good!

[@boboso7238]

What a super patient and beautiful dog. So calm with a stranger and well behaved for bath time.

[@thalia_1701]

my parents had a rottie when i was born, and he passed away when i was 8 years old from a cancer they found after he broke his leg and it wouldnt heal correctly. he was very sweet, and would let me sit on his back as a wee toddler. never had a bit of aggression and liked to eat kraft singles

[@a.guerra2139]

I have a 140 lb. Rottie, a 129 lb. Rottie, and a 50 lb mutt. People are afraid of my sometimes exuberant shepherd mix, but everyone loves my Rotties... one of whom can ride a skateboard. They are great pups!

[@andiiryan]

What a complete sweetheart. I’m shook that someone sent her to the shelter!

[@chevalierbaleine4894]

I have had several breeds of dogs in my life and the Rottweiller was one of the most intelligent, loyal, protective and cuddly I have known. Brook my babygirl you will always stay in my heart sweetheart 👐❤

[@pamelamays4186]

There is a series of children's books by Alexandra Day about a Rottweiler named Carl who helps a family look after their toddler. This breed was once known as "nanny dogs."

[@RoxieMarquez_marroxeli]

Good Boy Carl!

[@ifallthingsmatter]

0:39 The way she immediately closed her mouth and showed her sweet face when you mentioned that you love her face. 😂❤

[@Lululapsy]

Thank you thank you for advocating for this breed ❤❤❤ reading the other comments warms my heart!

[@ellenkatinas4587]

I can't believe she is just standing there while you bathe her!! What an amazing young lady!

[@Salicat99]

I love how she sits there like, I guess this is my life now.

[@lindaoostmeyer4637]

She is such a beautiful girl! I am sure that she was less apprehensive with her spa day because you took the time to get to know her!

[@calebschoonraad6810]

So sweet! Shocking that she's a rescue. I always admire how good you are with these dogs!

[@kellygallison2583]

You are unbelievably. Sensitive to all these dogs you groom wonderful job always ❤❤❤

[@TheQuickSilver101]

I've known several Rottweilers in my life. Every one I've known personally was sweet. One of them was obsessed with raw potatoes and ate a 10 pound bag when the owners accidentally forgot to put it away after going to the store!

[@ThePolypam]

😂 This is a hilarious anecdote. Thanks for sharing!

[@mazmellem2773]

You'd appreciate the "I has a sweet potato" story if you haven't come across it before. I tried to post a link but it didn't work. You should be able to find it if you google it.

[@littlebear274]

lol my old flatmate had a border collie who would dig up the raw potatoes to eat. Her other dog was not always the brightest and couldn't seem to figure out where they came from.

[@Crispybacon163]

I have a Rottweiler, very sweet dog. He is a very intimidating looking dog to people who don’t know him but he is the sweetest cuddler.

[@eva-w]

Such a sweet girl! I'm so happy for her that she got to keep her tail!

[@KManamperi]

Her face and smile when you called her Gorgeous was soo sweet

[@DEwingFPV]

I grew up having a Rottie named Flex who was a giant floof that loved attention, just a little territorial against stangers. Poor thing got Parvo as a puppy, but we got him through it.

[@mkoepp1000]

i had a rotty. loved her whole heartedly. we were bonded. i miss her terribly. she taught me how to speak dog. one of the few breeds with the ability to logic.

[@user-zl7qs1xh2n]

Nice review keep up the good work

[@themacker894]

One of my favorite videos on your channel. Rotties will always have a place in my heart. Thank you.

[@francescacastiglione7094]

Years ago, a neighbor had a gorgeous Rottweiler named Yager. He was a gentle GIANT! I loved that dog unconditionally!

[@tylociraptor8131]

It is, it's very true... they're huge sookie babies.

[@ninablack2516]

My first Rotti was a boy and he stole my heart...he was so docile and amazing with kids...sadly he was taken to soon by cancer...beautiful breeds...Rondah is stunning and so well behaved.🤎🤎🖤🖤

[@longbowshooter5291]

I had the beauty in my avatar and a male rottie, they were both ambassadors for their breed. Loving and friendly, extremely well trained (by me), and protective without being out of control.
