The picture is one of my 140 lb rottie, and my female rottie, she's about 70 year old. Dec 12, 2008 we had to put our female rottie down due to cancer. The smaller one in the pic is her replacement, we got her from the rottie rescue. The male we adopted from the shelter 6 yrs ago. I don't know what kind of life they had before, or why someone would just toss them away but I do know they both have a home at last. Chance, the male, is so passive it's not funny! My granddaughter did tummy time on him! He always asks if he can get on the couch or bed by placing his head at the end and waiting till you say it's ok before he comes up now. How many rotties you know do this? Trying to keep bones and toys on hand is not an easy thing with 2 rotties and a german short hair, but they have them all the time. Our female rottie, Stormy, is learning so much from Chance; she knows how to tip the water bowl over when they need more, open doors(which is not a good thing), and she's learning all sorts of naughty things from the short hair (too many to mention). She was the wildest one at the rescue, and she's the one I picked! They love to run in the fenced in back yard and play and they all wait at the back door for feet to be cleaned. I wouldn't have them any other way, they are my extended family and home at last!
