Some people say that Rottweillers are mean dogs, but if you raise them with love I think there the nicest most loyal dogs out there. Good luck with Harley.
ps. Lots & lots of chew toys.

Yeah, they have gotten a bad rap over the years due to irresponsible owners. This is my first Rottweiler, but I've been around/raised all kinds of dogs my whole life. I've had Weimaraners, Basset Hounds, Labs, German Short Haired Pointers, English Setters, and various crossbreed mutts.

She has already met my mother's labs and lots of people. Sometimes when she meets new people, we need to correct the people more than her! They usually see a 'cute little puppy' and start trying to rough house with her. Not a good thing to be teaching her.

She has lots and lots of chew toys, but her favorite chew toy is the Christmas tree. She loves it, and we haven't been able to correct that one yet. We are probably going to leave it up a little longer than normal just so we can eradicate that behavior.
