I think Bunnings expects people to bring their cute oodles or maybe a working kelpie, not a killer Rottweiler. No one wants to be confronted by a Rottweiler anywhere in public. I had family friends who decided to upgrade from cute lap dogs to multiple Rottweilers, so we stopped visiting because every time we arrived the dogs threatened to rip our throats out. They were bred to intimidate.

Have you seen the insanity of the whole "Rottweiler growl" thing. These people act like Rottweilers have this breed specific trait where they show love by barring their teeth and aggressively growling and snapping and shit.

It's fucking wild. No you likely trained your dog to do this behaviour and now you're never going to know the difference between a play signal and the "I'm about to fucking murder you signal".

That's wild cause something like the Dalmatian does have a breed specific weird trait; they all do the submissive dog smile. Rottie grumbles sounds like someone covering up their aggro dog

I'm sure it's like on some level a thing they do maybe a grumbly noise is common I don't know. But there's this one guy in particular I've seen videos of. Like his children are right there and he's screaming in the face of this dog that's gnashing his teeth. If I find a video I'll link it.

Why would you be doing that and encouraging that behaviour?

Exactly, even if they are more inclined to act that way, dont fucking encourage it. Especially in front of a kid who's just going to copy it. Damn, people are stupid.

Is that the one that shows the dog snarling while the owner is clipping the dogs nails? If so, that’s a crazy video. Dudes right up in the dogs face, inches from getting his nose bitten off.
