    I recently almost lost my Rotti due to surgery complications, but my vet is the best and Cain (dog) is almost as stubborn as me!! Rottiman, I have owned several breeds, and Rotts are my favorite and this guy is like Michael Phelps of the dog world. Blessed to have such a pet and the disposable income to keep him around a while longer (he is 8). Do not post much, but this forum is the BEST!!!

    This one was taken 6 1/2 years ago, the first night we brought the BEAR home. He was 8 weeks old.

    Stuart looks wise beyond his 4 months. Had a shepherd that was named Socrates or Socco for short for the same reason!! Dogs always look more majestic in snow and it builds character and keeps the riff raff inside! Thanks for sharing the pic. and keep us posted on his progression and ears....Good loking pup.

    That is just priceless!! Our Rottie didn't like to swim, but she LOVED the kiddie "turtle" pool we got for her (she'd "dig" out the water). She also liked the hose, as long as it wasn't directed AT her-she'd "bite" the water coming out.

    Actually, he was about 10 weeks old in that picture. He was the dominate male in a litter of 11. Basic obedience was just starting @ that point. He still speaks the same way to this day. You can read alot from them. Have to say he was 6 months and 1 hour old when he was sitting in the Vet's office waiting to get his ball bearings
    removed. Other funny part is that he has never tasted "human food" ever in his life. He has been one fantastic dog though, with a unsurpassed level of loyalty. Yup, working dogs are a unique thing for sure..................................

    Here are some pics of Bella, my guess is that she is a GSD/ Rotti mix.

    Seige 101,

    Gus sure looks right at home. My Rottie loves to swim, almost to a fault. We have a gunnite pool and he jumps off the stairs, swims down to deep end and back to the steps. Repeat.Repeat. Repeat. He has worn divots into the concrete where he uses his paws to push off and jump. I can only let him do it for an hour or maybe 2, because he is no spring Chicken (8) and any longer than that, the next day he whimpers when he walks. I guess it's hell to get old, even for dogs! Gus is a good lookin for sure!!
