Message from the Board of Directors
A few weeks ago, a family member was in court in Fort Lupton for a minor traffic
offense. As outlined in the letter below, the judge made a negative comment about
Rottweilers concerning a separate case.
I felt compelled to defend our wonderful breed with a letter to the judge. Fort Lupton already has
BSL in place for Pit Bulls. While I live outside city limits near Fort Lupton, this BSL attitude is
still unacceptable to me. Below is the body of the letter.
When writing such a letter, it is easy for us to become emotional and defensive when speaking for
our voiceless companions, but I urge you to use language that is professional, polite, concise, and
fact-filled. No one wants hate mail – rather, use logic and facts to open their closed minds.
The content I used in paragraphs 3-5 are taken directly from ARC’s website (www.amrottclub.org)
and two great sites that help fight against BSL every day: www.blessthebullys.com and
www.defendingdog.com. These sites are great resources to help stop BSL and educate closed
minds.
The pen is mightier than the sword…use it!
Dear Honorable [judge’s name],
On March 14, 2012 a family member was in your court for a traffic violation. During this time, there
was also a court appearance by a dog owner whose dog bit a person when said person reached his
hand over the dog owner’s property fence (my family does not know the plaintiff or defendant in
this case).
The dog in question is a Rottweiler and you stated that Rottweilers are a “dangerous breed.” No one
breed as a whole is bad, the same as no one race of humans is bad.
It is important to recognize that a dog, any breed of dog, is the result of his training, socialization,
and the environment he has been placed in. The Rottweiler is an ancient breed of German origin
that has served man nobly for centuries, primarily as a herding and carting dog. In more recent
times, the dog has been used for therapy work, tracking, herding, police work, and primarily as a
companion animal. It is only within recent years that the Rottweiler has emerged as the "guard dog
of the moment", and experienced the overpopulation that comes with this recognition.
The answer to dangerous dogs can be found in generic Dangerous Dog Laws (and not breed-specific
legislation) which address the underlying cause of most dog-related deaths and injuries –
irresponsible dog ownership. Any dog can bite – Any dog can be made aggressive and be trained to
attack.
Despite all the studies on dog bites, the American Veterinary Medical Association has found that no
single breed is more dangerous than another. Rather, studies show the most popular breeds at any
given time tend to top the list because, of course, there are more of those dogs in the general
population. It may seem to the general public, who is constantly bombarded with disturbing reports
on dog attacks by so-called “dangerous breeds,” that these breeds harm humans with any great
regularity. However, the fact remains that some dog breeds are hot news items. Dogs of all breeds
and mixes bite and attack people all the time, but it is mainly the bites from so-called “dangerous
breeds” that get sensationalized.
Any dog, regardless of its breed, is only as dangerous as its owner allows it to be.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
Jill Hehr

Brush Creek Rottweilers and I’Deal Rottweilers
present the Plato x Keira repeat breeding
Brush Creeks Minute of Angle
“Ember”
Brush Creeks I’Deal Gatekeeper
“Sunny”
The Lookers and Deals are thrilled that our babies are having success their first times out at the matches and shows. We
were excited that Ember took a Best of Breed Puppy under breeder judge Bill Lee at the CKC shows, and congratulations to the
Dassels for Sunny’s Best of Opposite win. Not to be outdone, Xerxes, Nani, and Rio have also taken placements, Best Puppy at
matches, and Group placements. Big Kudos to Grady for taking Winners Dog and points four weeks later in Garden City!!
With Keira’s working drive and Plato’s steadiness, all six are showing great work ethics. Four of the six are tracking
regularly with their housemates and all have had forays into carting.
