I had a rottie for 14 years and she truly was my guardian angel. She died last year and I was so heart broken.
After some time my husband talked me into a puppy. We now have a 8 month old rottie who we named Madison. She is full of energy and mischief. I work part time in a doggy day care and she comes with me everyday. She loves playing with the other dogs. Now we need some help in her training and have hired a trainer who trains the "natural" way buy understanding the dog and us becoming the pack leader. I hope this successful.
Our last rottie never did the normal puppy things and a group training class was enough for her. This time things are different and I can't wait to start her training.
We still keep in touch with her breeder and exchange e-mails and send pictures.
Rotties are tremendous loyal gentle dogs and are great companions.
