Honestly, the more I research into larger dog breeds, the more a rottweiler seems like the dog for me
#it ticks off all my desires for a large dog + my mom has had good experiences with them#they are good with other animals. good with children (not babies but i dont have babies in the house)#they are not exceptionally difficult to train + they are cuddly + they are guard dogs + they have a scary reputation#But they have a much lower attack rate than all pit variations. like yes they are considered the second most frequent biters#but the difference is 11% with rotties to 60% with purebred pits. not even including mixes in those stats#so like that is everything i want right there. of course i would have to make a lot more money in order to afford the right classes#(also just to afford the dog i mean. im unemployed lol)#but i want a dog that makes me feel like i can leave the house by myself at night. i want a dog that Looks intimidating and Will defend me#but who can also distinguish between a friend and a foe and actually Be friendly towards the former#also i like that they make happy grumbles like. ive never personally met a rottweiler but they do strike me as very charming#[also to be clear to those who dont just Know the dog bite stats off the top of their heads:#the aforementioned numbers = the percent of dog bites attributed to those breeds. so like 60% of all lethal + maiming attacks#are done by pitbulls and ditto for the 11% of rottweiler attacks. NOT that 11% of rotties attack people]
