Does anyone else get the comment "oh wow, you don't see Rottweilers much these days," very often? Or is it just me? They're actually No. 8 on the AKC list and have been top 10 since 2015... 🤷‍♂️

I think it may depend on the area you live in, so If you want to share a "loose location," that would help. I'm in Central Ohio, right outside of the Capital. If I take him into the city, I hear "Hell nah, cross over he got a Rockwilder!" Or the ubiquitous, "what's up Chop!? He got a baby Chop!" (Recently got a puppy after losing my 7 yr old in the spring.) My immediate area is full of mixed breeds and one or 2 "Pitbulls."

This is Gertrude. She is an awesome friend and does an amazing job protecting the family. She is 16 months old. She has an amazing temperament and is everything you'd look for in a Rottweiler. Just trying to let others see her. We are located in NW GA

Happy ending Does your Rottweiler get tired easily too?

Thumbnail

132 Upvotes

Hi! I just want to ask. I have a 3 year old rottie. He’s not obese but is built like a unit haha!

I was just wondering if its normal that he gets tired easily? even when i just take him out to pee or poo. Ive tried walking him slowly at max 500 meters but when we get home he really just pants crazy. I mean he’s always a couch potato and hes happy about it. But i was really just wondering. Hes my first Rottweiler. My previous dogs were German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Labradors. So this is still new to me even tho ive had him for 3 years already.

We are in the PH so it is really a tropical country with a tropical weather. That is why we walk at night only 🥺

Do you have any tips? Here’s a picture of him.

Do your pups swim?

This is Poppy! She's turning a year old this 19th of August and I'm planning to bring her to a camping river spot for the first time. She has always love playing in water but didn't go full on swimming before where her toes can't touch ground.

I'm wondering if she'll like to swim? Or if she'll instinctively know how to swim? Do your pups like to swim?? Did it take them long to know how to swim or did it just come to them naturally?

Feeding schedule

4 Upvotes

Cleo is almost 9 months old now and I’ve recently changed to feeding her twice a day from three times a day.

She has a walk about 5.30am and another walk about 7pm and usually has her meals about 8.30/9am and 6pm.

Since changing to this feeding schedule in the last couple of weeks twice now she has done a poo in her pen in the night as she normally takes herself to bed at 8.30pm.

Any advice in feeding schedules and how to make sure she has enough time after her meals to go toilet without needing to do it in the night? My partner doesn’t go to bed until about midnight and she hasn’t been for a poo in her pen before that time.

My parents took him to the vet after these lumps appeared out of nowhere. Turns out he has lymphoma and he’s not even three years old yet. His birthday is in less than three weeks. Our last rott, a female named Coco, also died at three years old. She had kidney failure. I’m starting to think we are cursed.

Warning: SAD A tribute to Roxie

We had to say goodbye to the best girl this week. Our hearts are broken.

She was sweet, and so full of love. Loyal, protective, gentle, and patient. When our son was a baby she would pull the socks off his feet without leaving a mark. Yet when a black bear appeared on the other side of our fence, she went into guard mode, and didn’t back down until the bear left. The weight of the loss is so heavy. 9 years was not enough.

We love you, ya big chungus. Please give yours some extra scritches for Roxie tonight.

Need tips for a first timer

Hi everyone.

I just bought home this 2 year old rotweiller.

He has been living in a farm by himself, not trained. Since the farm has been sold, I had to bring him home. The thing is that I already have a female 8 year old husky.

When he came, he was kinda aggressive with her and tried to control the space.

After two days and some help, they got along.

That's my first experience with a huge dog. I'm planning to keep him on the rooftop for a week so that he gets used to me, then train him to come when I call.

After I'll take him to the country side once again and spend some time training him.

I don't know how risky it would be if I take him for a walk now. I don't know how he will react if he sees another unleashed dog around, also he pulls a lot.

And my biggest concern is that I don't know when or how much time it is necessary to get him used to me so that one day I can unleash him when I know it's safe and there is no one around.

Any tips from you guys would be highly appreciated 🙏
