For adoption to good home. A mini bull terrier and Rottweiler

[Bully]

Thanks OMG and Intruder, we will ignore this idiot and focus more on getting the dogs a good home.

[not trying to defend]

not trying to defend Killer's aggressive posts here but what do you mean bu "are you a local? If so you are a disgrace". What is the relevance of being a local and why does that make him more disgraceful.

(Whilst his arguments are flawed, especially as they do not take account of the facts as stated, I do agree that rottweiler and bull terriers don't make the best house pets, especially in Singapore. Citing a random article from the net as gospel is hardly convincing though!)

[MMT]

Totally agreed with "Not Trying to Defend".  It's comment like this about local people that give us expats a bad name.  By all means disagree with his/her point of view but no need to be personal and definitely not to be racist!

[Killers]

Leave this thread clean. Post your comments and idiotic opinions somewhere else. All I can say you DO have a low intellegience. Are you a local? If you are, you are a disgrace.  Can Mod do something about this?

Ah, I'm back from a field trip and it seems like OMG, Intruder, Bully are just begging for more. C'mon I say. I'll take you on, one to three. It's the kind of odds that bullies are wont to have. Bring on your killer rotties too! It's just me and my chihuahua. 
Intruder, frankly, I can see you I had your panties in a twist seeing how angrily you lashed out with irrelevant observation. Fully understandable as you are probably guilt driven for abandoning your rotties in Finland. You have walked in the same shoes as Bully's 'friend'

PP

You seem to have some fixed ideas about certain dog breeds. What first hand experience do you have with Rotties?

[Killers]

Glad you asked. Here is one example of an incident that happened right here in Sing reported in the local media.

A full-grown rottweiller that mauled a small lapdog, will be investigated by the authorities to determine if it is a threat to public safety.
The miniature schnauzer survived the Sunday evening attack at Kembangan, but is covered in scratches and has had tubes inserted into the four large gashes on its legs and body to help drain out potentially-toxic fluids.
Owners Hoa Leon and Sharon Owyong said on Thursday that their maid had taken two-year-old Cookie and their white poodle out for a walk along Lengkong Tiga when the rottweiller struck.
Mrs Owyong, 27, said: 'She told me that the dog just kept tearing Cookie apart and stopped only when a taxi driver threw a brick at it.'
She and her husband were out visiting relatives when it happened.
She said Cookie had brought a lot of joy to sick people.
She takes it to the Dover Park Hospice twice a month to comfort cancer patients.
'We may have to amputate its leg if it gets worse and Cookie won't be able to help cancer patients out any more,' she said.
She and her husband are furious that the rottweiller's owners, who live at Lengkong Tiga, have not yet apologised to them. 'That's the least they could have done,' said Mr Owyong, 34.
A police spokesman said that they had referred the matter to the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore. He said the rottweiller's owners had been told that they must take the dog in for an inspection by Monday.
Head of the authority's Centre of Animal Welfare and Control, Mr Madhavan Kannan, said that under licensing rules, ferocious dogs such as rottweillers must be muzzled when out in public.
Owners who fail to do so can be fined up to $5,000.
The rottweiller's owner refused to come out of his house on Thursday and said over the intercom that it had been tied up since the incident.

Here's another story of Rottie attacks in England and Melbourne as reported by Reuters

London
A one-year-old boy has died after being attacked by a rottweiler in the yard of his grandparents’ home, West Yorkshire Police said.
The dog, a family pet, snatched the boy from the arms of a seven-year-old girl who was carrying him in the house in Wakefield on Friday.
The girl had gone to stroke the animal, which was kept in the yard outside. When the door opened, the dog grabbed the boy, Archie-Lee Andrew Hirst. His 16-year-old aunt, who was looking after the infant along with the seven-year-old girl, was unable to save her nephew despite striking the dog.
She called emergency services, who found the boy lying seriously injured in the yard. He was taken to Pinderfields General Infirmary but died later in the evening.
Armed police officers later put down the dog, a 21/2- year-old female.
The family had owned the dog for about six months and it had not previously shown any signs of aggression, police said.
The boy had been staying with his grandparents since Christmas Day and was due to return to his parents over the New Year.
Detective Superintendent Steve Payne said the family was devastated and being offered counselling.
“This wasn’t expected, it’s nobody’s fault,” he said.
The attack came almost a year after five-year-old Ellie Lawrenson was mauled to death by a family pit bull terrier at her grandmother’s house on Jan 1.
Her uncle Kiel Simpson was jailed for eight weeks for owning a banned breed of dog.
Rottweilers are not banned under the country’s Dangerous Dogs Act, but the legislation covers any dog out of control in a public place.
In a similar incident in Melbourne, Australia, a nine- week-old baby girl was found dead in the garden of her family home on Friday, apparently dragged there by one of the family’s two pet rottweillers.
The baby, Aleisha, was found by her mother, who is said to be absolutely devastated by the incident. The father is recovering from brain surgery in a local hospital. The fate of the dogs is still undecided.

FJB. To answer your question directly, no, I have not experienced an attack by a rottie.

[fareastjunebug]

Well I've not experienced an attack by a Rottie either and I've owned 2 of them. I have experienced bites from an Airedale terrier and a Basset hound. Bad luck with the Rottie I guess.

Are Rotties hazardous compared to a teacup poodle. Yes - if a teacup poodle bites you above the ankle, you're going about it all wrong. Are Rotties dangerous? If trained properly, no. Blame the owner, not the animal.

[SAE]

Back in SA I was also a rottie owner and loved him more than anything.  He was not trained to be a guard dog, he was kept as a pet and loved as such.  I agree with PP, it is the owners that are the problem not the dog.  People spouting such rubbish about this breed of dogs highlight their ignorance. 

[mandarin dog poo gardens]

yup owners letting their dogs crap all over the place

[Aliyanotloggedin]

I've had a Rottie as well she was a lovely dog.  I have recently heard of (in Singapore) a golden retriever which has badly bitten two children in separate incidents and a Jack Russell that has bitten a person.  I have been bitten by a miniature poodle and was attacked once very badly by a German Shephard (and still have the scars to show for it!).  A friends Golden Retriever in NZ had to be put down for biting a child.

All dogs are capable of biting, some have a temperament that is more inclined to violence it is true, but at the end of the day it is 99% the fault of the owner, not of the dog that a dog has violent tendencies.

I once read that the most aggressive breed of dog is the yorkshire terrier.  The point is though that an aggressive Rottie can do a lot of damage - even kill someone.  A yorkshire terrier attacking you isn't really something to worry about.  Rotties may not be an aggressive breed but  they are powerful and potentially dangerous.

[Bear Bear]

Not all Rotties are MAD.

[I agree]

with Killer.  I love dogs, but I would never, ever consider having a Rottie in my home.  I have young children and would never want to take that risk.  Even if I didn't, for the sake of the greater community I still would not.  I have heard too many stories about fatal attacks from these dogs to feel any confidence in having them in a domestic environment.  It is true that other dogs do also attack, but the result is never as severe as when a Rottie attacks.

You can all go on about how it is about the owner, not the dog, but I am pretty sure that in every news article I have ever read, the owners have always said that their dogs were gentle, and never displayed any signs of aggression....until the day they killed someone.

I'm sorry, but when I see people with these dogs, I think they are crazy and irresponsible.
