We have 2 children aged 9 and 6 who love our 1 year old male Rottie, but we would like a small female dog that the children can be more involved in the walking and training as our Rottie is far too strong for them to handle.Our Rottie is a rescue dog and we have had him for 8 months, we have been home checked by the rescue but you are welcome to come and carry out your own home check.
