than some
of the more common
breeds that nobody seems to fear, Rotties have a very powerful bite and a record
of people attacks, but no one is banning them... so I would suggest you get your puppy, take him / her to classes and get him / her socilized early on, let him / her play with
other dogs so they know that there is nothing to be afraid
of... you'll have a wonderful time and you will become so much more wise from the experience.
