is it true that rots cant be trusted

I do not know about this. But I know that it depends on how they were raised and trained. Though there are certain breeds of dogs that are really aggressive. But I think if these dogs felt loved and cared, I am sure they will be tamed.

alot of people say no dog can be trusted.

It is the furthest thing from the truth! Rotties got a bad rep due to their size. They are the sweetest gentlest dog that I have owned. Of course, like any dog, you can make them mean if you want to. But if they are raised in a gentle loving home they will be gentle loving dogs. I trained my two for water rescue. They would go out and rescue people that really didn't want to be rescued, but they couldn't help but to give the pair huge hugs when they reached shore. One story of how "mean" a rot can be, my two had never been around children. While I had them by the lake one of my neighbor's grand babies was out in the water and he decided to play ball with the dogs. I had thrown the ball and the male rott brought it back. The little boy reached for the ball, only he shoved his arm up to the elbow in my rott's mouth. That dog stood there slack jawed until the little boy got his arm out of the dogs mouth. My pair also helped me foster kittens. I have pictures of the male with kittens all over him. The pair would bathe the kittens (the mom would come back to sopping wet kittens) and if they felt the kittens were going someplace they shouldn't be they would pick the kitten up (by the tail for some reason. Probably because they knew how fragile the kittens were) and take it back to the mother. Don't believe when people say that no matter how gentle a rot is there will come a day where they will become wild and attack someone. It isn't true. Each and every rott I've known has stayed a very gentle dog. It's just a bunch of garbage that someone started to scare people away from Rottweilers. I have never had gentler, smarter, and better dogs than the Rottweilers I have had.

I think this is true of any animal, even best loved pets. A pet can be in pain and the owner not know and touch that painful spot. Of course the large dogs can be especially dangerous. We forget that animals cannot always communicate their distress to us. Many times I have had a unexpected response from a well know pet, usually it means pain. Kidney infections are one of the most common, since you can't see an injury and can easily touch a spot on their back that is extremely painful. So I guess the answer to your question is yes, but never without a reason, if you ever have that response from your dog, get it to the Vets ASAP.

I haven't had any bad experience with the breed.I love Rottweilers.Some are agressive and there are also many that are very friendly.It does matter on the dogs upbringing.I do know they need alot of socialization.I've noticed the shelters always get some very friendly ones.I think they're a very beautiful dog, they're just protactive and they do make great guard dogs.

I believe all of God's creatures have a possibility of turning on you. However, I believe it is all in how the animal has been treated. I had a Rottweiler and he was just a gentle giant unless he thought me or the kids needed protecting. He was trained the right way and he was treated the right way. Bondo, was a 150 pound baby for the most part. He would protect us if the situation called for it, but he never attacked or bit anyone. I would trust the breed and get another one in a heartbeat without any fear of them turning on me. It is the doberman that I would not trust. They have a tendacy to turn on people and other animals because their brains outgrow their skulls. I guess the pressure kind of causes them to loose their minds.
