Get to know the Rottweiler

My husband and I have owned 2 very different Rotties over the last 16 years, and they have been ANYthing but boring! We raised our first, Savannah, from the time she was 9-weeks old. Our second, Chevy, is a Rottweiler rescue, and he adopted us when he was about 15 months old...

...I have a story for just about every situation your dog can think of :)

Actually, if a Rottie is already part of your family then you probably have similar stories, as well as ones my dog hasn’t thought of. . . . yet!

===> By the way, I am currently developing pages where you will be able to share your own stories, pictures and even video's - stay tuned for that.

If you’re a new owner, contemplating getting a puppy, or maybe even rescuing, then this is a great place to learn about the REAL Rottweiler, and what you can expect for the next (hopefully) 9 to 13 years.

They are big, strong, smart (sometimes referred to as bull-headed) and very protective of family and property.

Most dog’s are very annoying if not trained properly, but an un-trained Rottie can be dangerous, and a liability – not to mention make your friends afraid to come over to your house.

Actually, you’ll find (or you’ve already experienced it) that people are afraid of your dog simply because of the way she looks, regardless of how well she’s trained.

I once worked with a lady who was afraid to come into my office because of the pictures I had of my boy "Chevy" on my desk. . . . Yep, you read that right – she was afraid of pictures.

They are just like kid’s – if they think they can get away with it, they will. But of course, they become the axis your world revolves around and part of your family. That’s oh so true for my husband and I.

We don’t have any 2 legged children, so our world revolves around our dog. Without getting into too much detail here on this page, we fell madly in love with a little Rottie named "Savannah" (no idea how I came up with that name) back in 1995.

She stole our hearts and kept them tied in knots for 7 awesome years, and took big chunks of them with her to heaven :)

Ok, enough with the tears! 4 or so months later, we got suckered into rescuing a little (actually not so little) boy with no name – his new daddy promptly named him Chevy, and you can read his crazy story at my Rottweiler Adoption page.

I add information, stories and resources almost on a daily basis (as time allows), so make sure to browse around and check back often. I really hope to hear some of your Rottweiler stories – I know you’ve got some that will have me in stitches, and probably make me cry at the same time.
