That's great to hear that he's free and clear now and good to go! I hate to say it but at least he had the surgeries while he is young and can bounce back much faster than an older dog. I have all bull and terrier breeds and a Catahoula and a couple staghounds now, and I have an Am Bull as my 'watcher' over our acreage, but when my big boy goes one day, I'll likely be filling his spot with a Rottie. I've always admired their loyalty to family, and their intelligence.

That letter is the type of thing I DON'T miss from living in the city. We are way off the beaten path now out in the sticks and I couldn't be happier for us and the dogs, lol. If he was that terrified of your dog, he'd not walk the fence line....nor would he antagonize the dog by yelling at him. You should print one of those pamphlets that they make for kids on how to act around strange dogs and tape that to your fence for him, lol. I'm also on the same page as our dogs being good judges of character. I'd put a camera out though, facing the fence line, because that really would make me concerned that he may 'sabotage' some sort of incident in an attempt to try and get your dog in some kind of legal trouble. Sad to say, but true. Make sure he's up to date on his rabies vaccine as well, and wears his tags if your county requires them to do so. Just cover ALL bases, JUST in case animal control comes knocking one day. I've had plenty of experience dealing with breed discrimination. :/
