Yep she is a rotty. She will be our second, we recently lost ours of 10+ yrs. No matter what anyone says, they are fantastic family pets if raised properly. At least that's my opinion.
Opinions are like bum-holes, everyone has one. But the truth about these dogs isn't what most people know. They were bred to be a herding dog, which attributes to their gentle nature.
The Rottweiler --Written By Gene Blackman
Many people believe the Rottweiler to be descended from a mastiff type dog which the Romans used when they conquered Europe. The Romans used these dogs primarily for herding the cattle and sheep needed as food for their armies. The modern breed of Rottweiler is believed to have been developed in Germany in a district known as Rottweil, hence the name Rottweiler. The Germans used these dogs as herd dogs for their farming animals. The early Rottweilers also were worked as beasts of burden, carrying wood and other products to market. In addition, they were used as draft animals to pull carts filled with various products for their owners. During the first and second World Wars, Rottweilers were put into service as war time guard animals. Currently they are frequently used as guard and police animals. Some people have trained these fine animals to be hostile and many sad stories have resulted from these situations. However, a Rottweiler which has been properly trained, will be as gentle as any other breed of dog.
GORGEOUS Pup... My last rotti was a X breed, he was part Rotti and Part marshmellow
Sorry you had to give him away. Chico was a cute pup once too. Mine used to sleep on the bed till I said she was just too big. They do have a goofy side don't they.
My mom got really sick, and was in the hospital. I had to come home to take care of her. Her Apt doesn't allow pets, so I couldn't bring Chico with me. He lives on 20 acres on the Sumas prairie that backs onto the Vedder Range, so he's happy.
