The dog world encompasses a diversity of all kinds of people interested in all types of doggy activities - like it or not most of us who show a no-fuss breeds see our dog firstly as our pet and best friend, just like your self.

A lot of people who show Rotts also do proper activities with them that stimulate their minds, activities such as tracking, working trials, obedience, agility, flyball, Rotties will also do every job individual Gundogs breeds do. They make superb PAT dogs and many of the show dogs do PAT work they are also favoured for helping those with phobias get over them. They are also excellent search and rescue dogs.

You see the Rottweiler is such a versitile dog which is why it is so admired added to which a collection of Rotties trotting around the ring is a sight to behold. I was unaware that it was a crime to want to exhibit top class examples.

As for your comment about Rotties not needing to trot all day all I can say is no wonder dogs are in the state they are when people do not understand the basic concept they are perpetually crowing about. FIT FOR FUNCTION. Meaning sound enough in all ways to go out and traveling great distances tracking prey before a final burst of energy to catch 'dinner'. Hmm I s'pose people have strange ideas about dogs, with some prefering that a dog live in a void, tucked up in expensive beds with fluffy blankets, too many toxic treats being over fed with no choice but to eat the dry food it is offered.................

I dont see the need for dogs to be dancing, whats the point? but I also dont find the attack the owners about it

well miss scarlett i couldn't have put it better myself, working breeds need stimulation, they have active and intelligent minds, nothing worse than seeing this kind of dog cooped up in a house all day with nothing to do,and owned by weekend walkers, boils my p$ss, give a Rott a job and they r delighted, they enjoy a challenge, keep them active an they will b healthy happy pooches, and yes there is nowt better than seeing a ring full of male Rotts running round and strutting their stuff, its amazing wot u can learn just by watching :)

My friend and I, along with my daughter and 2 dogs, enjoyed a fab day yesterday!! We went to a training day for kids to take part in Agility, Flyball, Obedience and Handling. Twas all for the kids and it was wonderful to watch all the kids and dogs having a wonderful time together regardless of ability and experience. All the dogs were well behaved (and the kids, lol!!) and all seemed to enjoy it as much as the kids.

We will deffo be going again next year, my daughter never stopped talking all the way home :roll: about what she'd learnt!! :D :D

And my friend and I even managed to get a 'Masterclass' ourselves from a guy about Handling!!! :dance:
The More People I Meet, The More I Love My Rotties!!
