I understand, but it all comes down to bonding and training. To say the rottie is too dominant, I am sorry to say, is a cop out, an excuse. My wife is able to handle every single one of dogs, she puts forth the effort and dominates our dogs. They know she is there alpha. You have to be able to communicate with your dog. Filas, presas, co's, cao's, dobermans, gsds, sars, almost any bull or molosser breed is dominate. I don't want to make an argument about this, but it bothers me due to the fact that a light is being shined on one breed and taken away from another. Its one thing to like one breed over another, but when I here talks about aggression and dominance it does nothing to help the breed, the rottie already has a bad name and the corso is following suit. This is the same argument I heard 8 years ago in the ICCF when they published a quarterly of how much better the rottie is, the next issue talked about a corso being a better catch dog than an AB. Its not right to promote another breed by degrading another, its counterproductive at best.
