Alpo Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 So tell me, what shelter did that dog get that sleepy little boy from? I do like the way he's hugging him, and trying to make him feel at home and loved. That's nice. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We adopted ours (Kimber) 2 years ago at 62#, you could see every bone! She's now 92 and looks great. I love Rotties. https://photos.app.goo.gl/mQm3zJu6VmLMiKhm7 Edited December 3, 2022 by Eyesa Horg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very impressed by their temperament, intelligence and calmness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked much better at 95. Congratulations on Coco. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I admire your courage. I would be reluctant, even with no young kids, to adopt a big dog with an unknown history. I have had all good dogs, AKC, though some with long term health issues. Several at the moment, easy way out in the country. Even though I have had Labs for nearly 50 years, and they are wonderful friends, nearly every one, none inexpensive, has had health issues. If I am around long enough to add one to the pack again, I'll be trying a different breed. Maybe another Bloodhound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent almost 8 years volunteering at a shelter/rescue for dogs so I have a pretty good feel for dogs. I don't think 65 lbs is that big and the Rottweilers that came through were the easiest dogs in the world to handle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 65 lbs is that big and the Rottweilers that came through were the easiest dogs in the world to handle. Just for perspective, my "Little" Lab is around 70#. The other boys, even the oldest, are considerably bigger. With the exercise they get on the Ranch, no fatties. Never had a Rottie, did have a GS Schutzenhund when I was a boy, but Shepherds bear too much resemblance to Wolves in Cattle country, and sooner or later, no matter what precautions, all dogs get away for the odd adventure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I define big as anything over 90 lbs. Had a 90 lb female Rottie who would stand up on her back two legs, place her front paws gently on my shoulder and give me kisses. We were at the same eye level. The 120 lb male that came through I looked up at when he stood on his back two feet and I'm 5'11" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
