Recently, a piece of disturbing news has gotten my attention.
GIVENCHY - the brand - has released a new clothing line, featuring rottweilers as man-eating savages.
They have models posing with the rotties
And clothes featuring the 'killer' breed
You can see more designs HERE
The clothes have been worn by celebs such as Rihanna and Kanye West.
This is NOT the way to portray the rottweiler, a breed that is already suffering from bad publicity.
If you are interested in helping this cause, please click here to sign the petition
Thank you.
It's Eva here.
It was a shock when sister Rosie brought this issue up to us and Mum said she will not get anything from Givenchy anymore (Not that she has anything from there anyways. Just saying.)

| I am FEROCIOUS too! Aren't you scared? |
There are two important rotties in my life: my Angel Grandmama Laura who was so patient with me and Orah who was a playful puppy and stayed with us for a summer last year. They are all rottweilers and they are the gentlest creatures in the world.
I have so many rottie friends in the blogville and I like all of them. Yes, they are huge, they are big, they are tall, they are strong BUT they are so gentle and sweet. They are the gentle giants who are kind and royal and not to forget that they are as sweet and beautiful as us.
I love their signature brown and tan. Don't you think rotties are cute too?

That is horrible advertising. I cant believe it.
What inspired that insanity. I always think I've lost the power to be shocked by the stupidity of people like this and then I see something like this. Then they wonder where dog abuse comes from?
Too bad companies don't realize how much damage they do to their name when they do things like this. We will sign.
We too have lots of wonderful rottie pals - another breed badly and wrongfully maligned.

As usual it's the irresponsible owners and not the dogs who are animals! (if you know what I mean)

That is just awful. How could people think up ads like that and misrepresent an entire breed of dogs? I can't imagine why anyone would ever buy from Givenchy ever again.
Horrible. I saw the t-shirt, but I didn't realize they used it in other parts of their advertising.
Disgraceful.
Can't afford givenchy, but I'll sign the petition!
Just awful. They couldn't come up with something better?! Signed the petition.
That is just awful and terrible advertising!

That's terrible. Rotties are so sweet and so cute. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
You *do* look very ferocious in your beautiful photo (not!).
I signed the petition and will share this post! Givenchy should be BEYOND ASHAMED!
Every time I come to your blog I am so struck by your beatify!! You just keep getting more and more beautiful every time!!!!
Rosie and Eva that was meant for you guys!!!
Cricky.....that is just so awful.
Well done Rosi for making u all aware .
Big nose pokes

That is just awful! Do these companies not think before they act?
Ooooo Eva you had me shaking from that picture of you! BOL!
This is a true outrage. How can they think this is okay? I haven't known many Rotties, but the ones I have met have all been just big huge giants of sweetness. I remember when our Sugar Plum was just a pup (a tiny shih tzu) and we would take her to my son's house. Their big Rottie would play with her in such a gentle way. Sugar loved playing with him. I never had to worry.
I love rotties - how could anyone even consider that this type of branding was OK? I don't get it!
You do get an award, though. Have a look here: http://www.thegreendogs.com/2012/03/loss-gain.html
That was just awful of Givenchy to do that! Why oh why would they think that is okay? So sad to portray any breed as being so vicious.
This just infuriates me!
ROTTIES ARE THE BEST! :)
Kisses from a sweet rottie girl in Sweden
I cannot believe it. What a shame.
Thanks for taking a stand. We signed.
