hi, jo and kendal thanks for the welcome, been really busy trying to get blaze settled in, went to a really dirty dear pet shop called Mutley and Mog in annisland, ended up spending £100 just for a few bits and bobs for blaze, going to try teach blaze the basics myself so when we join class i`m not getting a reddi and we can hit the ground running, with training! great having a dog in the house again just getting up in the morn to be welcomed by a wee cheeky face and a wagging tail, is brill! i look forward to meeting you all especially the nice long walks as i could be doing with a little more exercise! lol not done any since leaving the army and starting to get a wee beer gut! lol.
bye for now,
Billy. |

Welcome Billy, My mum (Jacquie) and I have 3 dogs, One being a rottie called Kodi, He just turned 3 years old on the 31st of March. We also have Rose 4 yr old border collie and Z an 11 month old gsd.
Look forward to seeing some pics/meeting Blaze(and you of course )at class or on walks. You should come along to class soon. Every body's dogs act up now and again and everyone is use to it and understands.... I've got Rose who will do circles or try to herd the other dogs every time she goes to class, Z will disappear during recalls to find whichever one of us isn't doing the class with him and Kodi, he's been off for a few months with skin problems but before his break he would stop in the middle of recalls and drop to the ground and either play dead or roll all over the middle of the hall EVERY week Failing that he would go to John to try and lick him to death as Kodi loves John

They love to horde (most of the ones I've met/spent time with do anyway) I could go look in Kodi's bed right now and there would be some of my socks, paper(kitchen roll, cardboard tube from the kr, envelopes he's stole etc), little bits of toys that Z has killed and some food/treats for a rainy day.
So if Blaze takes a liking to anything paper I would put all important paper things out his reach
They can be totally serious and totally focused one second and then just act like a clown the next...they are excellent at the sad puppy eye look...and so far Kodi still acts like a puppy some of the time..he does this cute bunny/lamb hop thing
Definitely very intelligent breed and eager to please, You need to be a strong pack leader when you have a rottie and know that they know you are in charge and not them... But if you put in the work/time/training then you can/will end up with a fantastic dog. They also seem to know when to be all cuddly or when to clown around etc.
Kodi's our first rottie, but spent a lot of time with about 10-12 of them for a year before we got Kodi, He has some issues but we're working on them but other than those he has been one of the best dogs we've had... Would love to have another rottie (a girl this time) but can't get another just now but when we can pretty sure it will be a rottie _________________ GSD Z(4yrs old), Rotties Kodi(6 yrs old) & Quinn(2 years old) and Border Collie Rose(7 yrs old) |

Hi and welcome billy & blaze.
I'm a rottie fan but don't have one. I have 2 dogs JD a cross gsd/rottie and Bracken a heinz 57 variety from the dogs trust.
The down side to having a big dog when out for a walk is the frightened looks you get from people and the horrible comments - and that's when my dogs are on the lead!!!!
You'll love the classes and the group walks.
Might see you out walking in the carbrain area, I live there too although I usually do an about turn if I see someone coming towards us with a dog. lol

Hi and welcome
I dont have a rottie, tho have a ridgeback and know the reputation you can have with having a big 'scarey' dog a wee dog barks
and jumps at folk, can be looked on as funny, if a ridgeback, rottie or gsd dog does then its baaad
apart from that you have a gorgeous, handsome dog _________________ lurchers Pixel and Zev and whippet, Fen
