Male Rottweiler 27 months old IKC Registered

Hi, this is Ralph, my Rottweiler dog and bitch had 11 pups, and Ralph was the pup I kept for myself, he’s very kind and affectionate and has grown up around my 2 kids.

I’m farming here and Ralph started chasing calves a week ago and bit one on the ear and nose, calf is okay but I can’t trust Ralph now around livestock and I haven’t the time to be letting him in and out of his house and watching him

. Maybe he’d suit someone who isn’t close to livestock or needs a dog to guard an enclosed premises, he’s a lovely dog but has got a bad habit unfortunately for me.
