Thank you!   ;)

Gracey is "high energy".  A little timid and sound sensitive.
Lady is "laid back" with a touch of hyper.  Way too friendly...but she looks viscious. :)

Hi....I'm new here.....love what I've seen so far! I'm skinmom to six Rotties...all rescues but one. Absolutely love the breed! All of mine are clowns. Very friendly and outgoing. Didn't all start out that way coming out of shelters, but they're easy to work with.
It will be nice getting to know others with Rotties here!

I can remember having only one, and believe me, 6 is much more fun. Have had as many as 11 at once, with 7 permanent and 4 fosters. You just have to get into a routine. We have doggie maintenance day every Thursday. Everyone gets a good brushing, checked for lumps, etc, ears and teeth cleaned, toenails done, then a good vacuuming (actually the vacuuming happens daily when they're blowing coats). Lots of outdoor playtime so they won't feel the urge to go romping through the house as often. lol
I love them all. They're my family.

They are such funny monsters, aren't they?  I love the photograph with all of them sitting and standing in the yard.  Sometimes my boyfriend and I joke about having many rottweilers.  We have three and that is the limit.  We exclaim how hilarious it would be if we had six Betti's, because she is so goofy...or even if we had been able to take Betti's sister, too.

Well, both of mine are push overs.  Magnus is coming to an age where he wants to run the 'pack'.  Since I got Storm aka Baby Girl spayed she has calmed down alot and will soon give the power of the pack to Magnus.  They both are protective and very goofy.  Magnus listens very well but Baby Girl is heedless.  She is stubborn and tries very hard to be independent.  They are both lovers and their favorite spot is in bed with me!

Pretty, pretty dogs!  They are so cuddly, aren't they?  People are always shocked when they hear that I have "rottweilers" - even moreso when they find out that I sleep with them.  I know it on an intimate level, of course, as I am sure you do, too.  All the snorting, sneezing with salty spray going everywhere, tummy growling, and let's not forget the FARTING!

I wish I could forget the farting.   Man that's the bad part.  But it's like their rocket fuel...helps them get up on the couch and in all those high places.   :D
