i hate rottweilers they are uslast they are stupid

I have a rott who will be around 3 yrs old in February. He got attached to me within 2 months and you can tell he is my puppy. He takes commands from me and my dad only, sometimes from my mom and siblings. He is very good with other children, although he tends to get a little hyper at first. He LOVES being around other dogs. He is a \"gentle giant\" and everyone in the family loves him. He is also an AMAZING guard dog and very protective of me. We used to have a male and female rott and that\'s what got me hooked. I am forever in love with rotts and wouldn\'t want any other dog. These dogs are my favorite and they are the best dogs to have as a friend and a guard dog.

I would like someones opinion regarding our 12 year old Male Rottweiler Shepherd Mix. The dog had been a very healthy dog his entire life, with only 1 occasion of him getting sick (lost weight but treated with antibiotics) about 3 years ago which he recuperated from. Last Saturday our dog was taken to the local vet in El Centro, CA for a swollen belly and not eating much, this condition had started about 4 days earlier. It was right before closing time for the clinic and vet just observed dog (no tests) and gave us pretty much 3 options 1) put to sleep 2) do nothing 3) do exams of heart and abdomen. He reminded us that exams would be about $1000 but they would need to wait until Monday since local lab was already closed. He added that if we took dog to a San Diego emergency hospital it would be even more expensive. His prognosis was that whatever we found out would be something he would be unable to help with. He added that if it was his dog he would put him to sleep. He pretty much discouraged us from seeking treatment. Unable to make decision we opted to take him home. Our dog was still walking, drinking water and sitting with his neck up until he died 3 days later. I am now realizing that I let vet influence my decision to seek treatment and will never know what problem our dog had. Any advice would be helpful.

Rocky is 1 yr.7 mo.and he is extremely spoiled and attached to me several months ago the Vet requested for me to start letting him sleep outside but, now that the weather has changed and it has gotten cold I let him sleep inside. All of the work I put in to get him use to sleeping outside in his doghouse has went out the window. When I let him in the back yard for a short time he barks, howls, and scratches at the door. I want to know if he is doing that because he is cold or spoiled? So that there is no guilt can somebody PLEASE tell me at what temperature is unsafe for him to be outside for long periods of time and maybe over night? The temperature here are 20\'s(feels like 10\'s) in the day and 10\'s(feels like 1-8) at night. I love my dog and I want NOTHING to happen to him.

The weather here is a little out of the norm for us, it\'s been in the 20\'s in the day and 10\'s at night. I wanted to know if it was safe for my Rottie to sleep outside in his doghouse? If not at what temperature is safe for him to sleep outside?

I have two rotties that are 1 yr 9 month old and we just got a 7 week old shih tzu for my daughter. I need some advice on how to introduce them and if any one know if it is a good Idea to do so. Thank You.

SAMPSON IS IN OUR PRYAERS. I KNOW WHAT HE MUST MEAN TO YOU BUT DO NOT ALWAYS GET ONE OPINION. SOMETIMES ANOTHER VET MIGHT SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN THE FIRST. KEEP ALL YOUR OPTIONS OPEN BUT ALSO USE YOUR HEAD WHEN IT COMES TO VETS AS TO MOST OF THEM ITS JUST A BUSINESS. I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND THE GENTLE GIANT MY BEST WISHES. G-D BLESS YOU!

I have a 7 year old male Rottweiler named Sampson and a couple of weeks ago he started limping and holding up his right paw. Well, x-rays were taken and our vet is 99.9% it is cancer. He just had surgery for a biopsy and we are waiting for the results to come back. Sampson is our "gentle giant". He lives with our cats and is always with our female Bischon. Pray that this is NOT cancer and that Sampson will be alright. I am so worried; I can't imagine not having Sampson.

that show was yuk too my eyes but intertained by it
