Defining the word "respect" is simple; it is positive reverence, admiration, value, quality or the desire to show esteem. However, the true power of respect is when it ceases to be just a word and is translated into behavior. As members of Molosserdogs.com we are here to conflate and share our passion for our dogs and understanding for the uniqueness of ourselves as individuals. A vital component of successful discussions and cooperation is respect. Our value to the dog community is predicated on how much respect we give and how much respect we earn. Our members may not always like the answers they receive on issues of importance to them, but if we consistently act respectfully and treat them fairly with character and high regard we have done our jobs well. Our members don’t connect to just a computer screen and keyboard, but rather with our members, visitors and yes even web robots which spiders the site for search engines. As a Molosser Community, our charge is to meet the members’ needs to the best of our ability through committed service and open dialogue. At the core of service are the respectful connections with people of this site and others, which in the end really add value and credibility. Let's not make respect just a word in our core values, let's live out respect every day in our interaction with others and our presentation of our ideas on the varied topics we cover. It will make a difference.
