Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

AbbyD-1 I have owned 7 Rottweilers over the past 20 years and currently live with three of them. I first came upon this breed in much the same way as Angie Ruiz did, by adopting one that needed a home. Angie Ruiz is a professional filmmaker who directed and produced this documentary and she did an exceptional job of showing the inner qualities of this magnificent breed. From love to devotion to intelligence to character strength this often misunderstood canine stands well above all others. I just finished watching the DVD of this film that I purchased from their web site. From the very first days I became acquainted with Rottweilers I quickly learned they were truly Thief of Hearts and as Angie Ruiz pointed out in the commentary on the DVD she was asked to transport a 9-month old Rottie puppy to a Rottweiler Rescue group and before she got there she decided to adopt him, herself.From that beginning the documentary shows many aspects of Rottweiler training for competitive sports as agility and carting but then goes into how this breed is ideally suited for K-9 police work, Search and Rescue and even Therapy work in hospitals. The most touching sequence was the Rottweiler who aided a comatose accident patient regain consciousness.Angie Ruiz said in the film interview, "I made this film from the heart about something I believe in. Even though the film is about the Rottweiler, the themes of the film are universal — loyalty, resilience, friendship and hard work," And the film has received several awards, including a Best Documentary award at a film festival in Charlottesville, Va.As a Rottweiler owner I congratulate Angie on doing such a fine job with this film. Anyone who owns a Rottweiler or is curious about this breed should search out and find a copy of the DVD or catch it in a theater. It is currently on a worldwide tour and recently was shown in three cities in Australia.

tanyasueak This is a must see documentary! I hope everyone who has the opportunity gets out to see this! It's so nice to have a positive and true film out there about our wonderful breed and not the negativity that the media portrays. I've had Rottweilers for over 15 years and have never had an issue with aggression! My dogs love people, other dogs and children. I do conformation, competition obedience, nose work, etc. with my dogs. Rottweilers are family members and love to be by your side everywhere you go. They are the most loving, loyal dogs. This documentary does a great job of explaining where the breed comes from, what they were bred for and the different types of jobs they love to do. Get out and watch this wonderful documentary!

cswirsky This movie is a must see for anyone who owns a Rottweiler, is thinking about getting one, has ever known one or believes the reputation bestowed upon them by Hollywood. It's very informative, humorous and touching. After watching the screening, it was evident to me that a lot of research was put into the production of this film and the overall message is a good one. What I took away from the movie is that Rottweilers are amazing and versatile dogs but not suitable for all people and all lifestyles. It is so important to do your research before getting a dog - not just Rottweilers but any breed. I can't wait until I can buy a copy of my own. Great job by Angie and all the contributors!

indycr The production team did a great job capturing the characteristics of the Rottweiler – their strong personality, loyalty, confidence, temperament, trainability and willingness to work. I particularly enjoyed seeing their versatility "outside of the show ring" - from herding to agility and from search and rescue to therapy work. Poignant and relevant, Black Beauty Breed is a touching and educational film. The film maker Angie Ruiz succeeds in her mission to dispel many of the negative perceptions of the Rottweiler breed put forth by Hollywood and the media. Ruiz' film takes a straightforward approach to educate the viewer on the positives of the breed, and emphasizing the necessity of responsible dog ownership. A definite must see for any potential (and existing) Rottweiler owner and for anyone who loves dogs.
