I have two Rotts. These are number 3 and 4 for me. I love the breed and with the ones I've had, they all loved kids. But as you have read, socialization is a must. They are very powerful dogs and can knock a small child down easy. As a matter of fact my second Rottie, Katie, loved to knock...

I don't travel much but last summer some Doberman friends and I went to Lake Murray in south central Oklahoma and it was wonderful. Not only do they have cabins that allow dogs but you can take your dogs swimming in the lake. I don't know about trails for hiking but we had so much fun swimming...

I've had Rotts in my house for 15 years. I'm living with two Rotts now. Both of mine are female and rescues. But I'm going to meet a 3 month old male puppy this weekend and if my girls like him I'll have a baby boy. Rotts are great dogs. They are stubborn and smart. I haven't had a Boxer...

I just saw on a news break that they have broke through and all nine miners are ALIVE!:D But it isn't over till they are out and safe in the arms of their families. sue

I'm in Phoenix and the Rott rescue I volunteer with has collected crates and things for the pets up there. I also heard that the humane society is taking in animals from the shelters up in that area to free space for the evacuee's pets that will need a place to stay. This fire is nowhere near...

When to get another dog is a personal matter. Some people wait for a long time and others adopt right away. I adopted a week after Katie passed. But then I had 19 months of battling her illness so I was a bit prepared, as prepared as anyone can be at that time. Not to say it was easy but I...

Brutus' Mom, I am so sorry for your loss. It was three years ago today that I lost my 7 year old Rottie, Katie, to Ehrlicia after a 19 month battle. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. sue

Being a Rottie owner I feel so badly for the dog. It does sound like they were setting up a bad situation. With a Rottie that old he probably has some arthritis and that could be making him cranky. I have two older Rotts in my house and I know they don't feel like being messed with sometimes...

I'm hoping Kathy because I think she played the game the best. But I'm not sure about what the jury thinks. I can't wait to see the show. sue

This is such a sad thing to happen. My dogs have a dog door so they are in and out when I'm gone. What part of Phoenix was this in? I live in central Phoenix and haven't seen it on TV. I feel so bad for the family and the dog, but since I've never been in the situation that the policeman was in...

Thanks for the warm welcome. This forum is very friendly and I have been having a good time admiring your dogs. :) I have a couple friends who are owned by Boxers and I'm going to let them know about this forum. You guys are great! Dog people are the best in the world anyway. I don't care...

I want to introduce myself and I hope I'm welcome here since I do not own a Boxer. I have two Rotts and a Doberman, all rescues. I do admire Boxers very much though. :D Boxers are my third favorite breed and I very well someday could end up with one. Before that, I would need to know about...
