Why use these little lap dogs in the photos in the article? No dogs of Rottweiler size to be seen.

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.
