On this, we agree.   My wife and I took a great amount of time with 
Loki, from a very young pup, to make sure she was completely drop leash 
and voice command trained.   we spent many hours with her.   We knew 
that it was required with her, since people are naturlly afriad of big 
rotts.   We were responsible owners, and knew what we were getting into.

Most people have not the inclination, and definately do not spend the 
time.

If someone wants a working dog that will also be protective and that 
someone has
never had a big, potentially agressive, dog.  I wouldn't start with a 
rottie.
Dogs live a very long time, and deserve owners who can
handle their both their strengths and  and their weaknesses 
(liabilities)
