They are easily trained with a strict handler, are incredibly loyal and yet big and strong enough to satisfy even the giant dog lovers.

I grew up with dogs inc. 2 Samoyeds (not at the same time) and a Border Collie x Boxer. Grandparents and relatives had dogs also.
I'm a firm believer that most things are in the training, attention and handling of any breed and knowing breed tendancies is a must, but working with the animal can sort out most "issues"...
I don't mind Rottie's at all - we met a really "nice but dim" lad called Brodie not so long ago. He was at the local rescue centre. Very calm dog and within 2 minutes he would sit, laydown etc for both of us. So he was very obedient. Reason given for admittence - change in circumstances. So I think he would have been perfect, although I'm not sure MrsT could handle him on her own. We'd have to spend some time with him, walk him etc to see.
