All I can say is, Get used to it. Unfortunatley people like this are all over the place. I have run into a couple of people like this, but for the most part most people who meet Brodie end up just loving him. Most are intimidated by his size,as he is almost 30in. at the withers which is well outside the standard height for a male, but after meeting him and seeing what a big mush he is they just love him up.Just do your best to make sure your pup becomes the best Rottie that he can be. Lots of socialization and training will allow you and Dozer to show those people what a Rottie is truely meant to be and not what is reported by the media. Although some will never change their mind, you'd be surprised at the number that will after they meet a well trained, friendly dog with an owner that is knowledgeable and willing to try to educate. Good luck with your boy.
