I love both Tom's and Dave's dogs, big hard scary dogs tend not to be, our Rotty was the softest, most gentle dog ever, very intelligent.
Even when told to do something she didn't want to do she would grumble, and cuss but that was part of her character.
When a misguided neighbors 2 year old started biting her ear, she just sat there wincing until I rescued her.
Where I live (rural) one needs a dog (or two); the bigger, the scarier, the louder, the better. Our Rottie barked at everything and everybody;
visitors stayed in their cars until we ordered it to bed but it was the softest big mutt, as gentle a giant you have seen. When the postman came into
the yard he would bark (the dog, not the postman) then go over to the van and put his paws up and in the drivers window, drooling over the door and
any post for us. Big dogs do what they are supposed to do - look big and scary.
Mark, your Rottie appears to be of the same character as ours was.

For the record regarding cats, Unless your really unlucky your cat won't poo in your garden and will stop other cats coming into your garden.
My parents had a lot of cats and unlike the dogs, they were all moggies and mostly to keep other animals out of the garden and to kill off mice.
Weirdly we had one that thought he was a dog as he was pretty much adopted by one. He was born at our home when noone was about and one was born dead
so the mother left them all, he survived because he'd eaten first and the dog had found him and kept him warm.

This is our little fella, just over 11 weeks old now, he's a Working Lab x Working Collie. We were lucky to find the breeder before the pups
were born so managed to see the Mum and Dads personality before birth. We then visited every week to see them grow and help socialise them all. As we
were first in touch we got 1st pick on the litter.
We were looking for a Lab x Collie and expecting to pay about £150 but this breeder turned up and wanted £350 but based on the personalities, how the
pups were raised, the vetting of every potential owner and how they loved and cared the pups were going to good homes we felt £350 was a fair
price.
