Line 55:
Unscrupulous breeders have produced dogs with highly aggressive tendencies and some owners have used the dogs to boost their macho images.
A well-trained and responsive "Rottie" can provide the right owner with a great deal of exercise and loving companionship.
Rottweilers mauled a couple of Canadian boys to death in two separate, but similar cases in 2003 and 2004. In both cases, the rottweilers attacked in packs of three or four, and were kept in the victim's homes (belong to the family or a family friend) [http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/12/28/dog-attack041228.html] [http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/12/28/dog-attack041228.html].
Despite the media's fascination with Rottweilers who run afoul of canine behavioural standards, people who have experience with well-socialized examples of the breed can attest to the Rottweiler's friendliness and often clownish nature. In fact, the [[FCI standard]] calls for a dog that is fond of children. Nevertheless, this breed is not for the inexperienced or uninvolved dog owner.
