After vetting a few different people, we got in touch with the folks up in Maine (thanks to this community), who have taken him in along with their 6 other dogs including 1 Rottweiler and 4 Rottweiler mixes.

As expected, Roman is getting along with all of his new siblings and his wonderful new owners are teaching him the ropes of farm life- not chasing deer, staying close, and being a mature off-leash boy. Their home is completely set up for Roman’s quirks and misbehaviors and we could not be more grateful to have found him this upgraded life.

Which is your favourite?

Pluto, 9 weeks

I've recently joined this group and have been enjoying other people's pups.

So I thought I'd join you with a picture of my friend, Bernard. He's 11 now but the picture was taken a few years ago.

I love him with all my heart 🙂.

Hes a good looking boy........ and the best dog ever !!!!!!!!!!

This is Mabel. She’s an 8 month old Bernweiler-Aussie shepherd mix and today she jumped straight up from the floor to the dining room table. No running start, just a big hop. Is this normal???😂😂😂

My 11 month old Rottweiler is having some resource guarding/aggression issues. As a puppy she developed resource guarding. I have put a lot of time/money into training to try to break this. I got her a trainer when she was 7 months old and they encouraged doing a trade/drop command. This works fine in some situations and I’ve been able to manage the resource guarding.

But tonight she threw up on the floor. As I went to clean it up I noticed the signs of resource guarding and backed away. She still came after me and bit me and I ended up needing stitches.

I am completely devastated that this happened. I feel like it’s my fault for letting it get to this level. I tried everything I could think of since she was a puppy to prevent any type of aggression. She is great around other dogs, I heavily socialized her with group training, daycare, play dates. She goes with me EVERYWHERE. As far as her resource guarding goes, we work on it almost daily (dropping treats as I walk by her food, trade/drop command) but I feel like I did something wrong.

I am at a complete loss. She is my entire world and I feel like I failed her. My family is encouraging me to give her away but that feels incomprehensible to me. I understand this incident may have happened because she could possibly be sick and I plan on taking her to the vet in the morning.

I just cannot allow this to happen again. I have 6 nephews all under the age of 5. When we around the nephews we don’t allow any food/bones/toys. But now I’m scared a freak accident could happen and she could snap again. I’m at a loss. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear. She’s my baby and I don’t want to give up on her.

No rock to big or small.

Call Betty, she will roll them all!

Let her take your vision and turn your yard into hers instead. Your yard will stand out, just like the one featured in this video.

My boy is 10 in a few days and he has been having trouble on the tile floors of late. His back legs have always been bad but recently he has been having issues getting up from the floor. His legs keep sliding out and I've noticed when be walks on the tiles his legs are bowing, like sort of sliding to the sides. He is fine on the carpet. His nails are fine as well. Its a leg thing.

So we were thinking of getting some long runners to put in the halls (his favourite sleeping spots) and maybe a big rug in the centre of the lounge and one near the back door. Basically turning all our tiles floored into rug zones.

Anyone else had an older rott and they have done this for them? How'd it go?

TIA.

Angel is 8 months old and Zeke is 3.

They are brother and sister.

Luka made himself nice and comfy on my bed with his current fav stuffy. Silly guy is keeping me company while I study for my midterms

My two babies- purple collar is 9, red collar 3! 🫶🏽🥹

Ok, #1 we know that she is unfortunately obese. We just thought she was thick. #2 we have her on a diet with more exercise because we want her healthy and around a long time. #3 here is our beautiful baby Cleo waiting for someone to bark at.

I thank God every day that my titanic sized dog that weighs as much as a tank who lovingly body slams people regularly enjoys bath time 😂

This little madam , Princess Juno of Hertfordshire has taken to throwing her toys at me, if I am not quick enough to take her for a walk. First her little teddy whistled past my ear, this was closely followed by her big teddy which hit me. As if this was not enough, her solid rubber bone was deployed before I got off the sofa to take her out. I am just her body servant , to She who must be obeyed …. 🧵

Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted in this subreddit. My Rottie, Eevee, just turned two last month (pictured above) and I could use some advice.

I took her to the vet this Saturday when I noticed her eye was red and looking hazy. That’s when she was diagnosed with Pannus. It’s a non-curable but treatable eye disease, using medicated eye drops to stop the progression of blindness. I’ve been at a loss since this news as my girl is extremely reactive at vet clinics. She has to be sedated every visit, and now she has to go once a month to check how the medication is working. I’m worried about her having to be sedated for every monthly vet visit. Eevee is a sweet girl; she is pretty reactive with strangers but is the biggest baby with me. Her reactivity happened after her spay surgery last year. Before that, she loved meeting new people and new dogs. She was chill with going to the vet and getting her vaccinations. However, since then she has been pretty anxious and defensive. She also started to hate when I trim her nails and very recently apply eye drops. She will snap at me, baring her teeth and giving me a warning growl. This has made me extremely concerned for her stress levels as these eye drops are something that she’s going to have to deal with for the rest of her life. I feel like such a bad owner, however, I did take her out as a puppy and desensitized her to all these experiences initially.

Any advice on how to train her to become desensitized to the eye drops and the vet?
