Anyone noticed the increase of Rottweilers around at the minute?

[Ploppi]

I saw 3 on my walk this morning alone. (Not all together).

I like Rottweilers so this isn’t a negative post about them - it’s a concern.

Apparently since the XL bully ban was announced last year there has been an increase in the buying of both Rottweiler and Cane Corso dogs. The new “Status breeds”.

Ive not looked but I’m assuming Rottweiler puppies are a hell of a lot easier to get hold of than Cane Corso pups - so let’s assume the Rottie becomes the next breed of choice for wrong uns.

Are we likely to see an increase in the number of Rottweiler related attacks/deaths? If so - will the government really ban one of the most popular breeds in Britain? I don’t think they could … it would be akin to banning the German shepherd. So what then?

AIBU to think the way we’re heading is a semi- ban on all bull type/guarding breeds? Meaning you will need a license for certain breeds? Would it actually work?

Rottweiler
all bull breeds over a certain weight
All Mastiff breeds
German Shepherd
Cane Corso
Dobermann
Malinois …

Where is all this heading?

FEIW I supported the XL Bully ban but I’m now worried about where all this will lead. They will always find a new status breed.

I've noticed an increase in rottweilers around and I live in a small village. This worries me massively rotties are the most loving soft gentle loyal dogs if trained right.
The more attention and hype they get the more people will buy the more bad press they will get.
I've had my girl 8yr my little boy turns 3 next week. I was apprehensive about bringing a new born home when my rottie had been my baby for the 5yrs previous, the time in which it took me to concieve 🙄 but she was great now they are like 2 peas in a pod and she's so gentle with him.
It's the breeders that need stopped. letting these dogs get in the wrong hands.
It's the way all breeds are treat and trained which is the problem.
