Only because it's a massive dog.
I'll never get a Rottie again, if only because I want to avoid the heart break of premature death. Mine succumbed to cancer at age 11. Apparently it is a documented fact that high cancer rates are due to very, very poor breeders trying to cash in on a craze.
It is good that they've become much less popular in the Midwest. That was the epicenter of puppy mills (and still is).
Such a shame too -- so much personality, restraint, good will and balance in a dog bred to induce fear and intimidation. A natural at the zen of things.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
