I have a pure bred Rottweiler named Rogue. Before Rogue, I was terrified of Rottweilers. I would never have owned one, but my husband wanted one so very badly. I found the perfect way to get over the fear of a certain breed is to own one as a tiny puppy and watch it grow up. I never would have guessed how attached I could become to a dog. She loves wearing dog Christmas sweaters too. It is funny how I thought that her nose looked pushed in when we first got her. Now she looks normal to me and other dogs like Labs look like they have extra long noses. Rogue is almost eight years old now. She is very strong willed, but also a very big baby. Her bark and growl sound ferocious, but she would never hurt a fly. She really is a sweetheart.
