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)
