I am Dar. We have 2 dogs. One a GSD X Akita he is called Newton and is 3yr old. Very good gurd dog. The other is a pure breed Rottweiler, we call him " IZAC". yes, it's izac. Izac is 13 months and his Sire is Athos Von Schwarz Raubtier , I think those of you who are with the know him.I have visited this site a few times but this is my first time posting in. Hope to make some friends here as I need to learn a lot about rottweilers. Thanks.
A very goot moorening and a big & warm welcom. I assure you will get all the help you required to learn about dogs and related topics on dogs, especially Rotti -short spelling or nickname for rottweiler- Ask what you want and we will do our best to help. BTW, will I be asking too much if you could tell us your full name, civil servant, professional, where are you from -PJ, Shah Alam,Perak or JB. I have reasons for such as request, because if you are from JB, no point telling you I have a friend staying in PJ and asked you to pay him a visit just to look at his kennel management right? That would be taking the micky out of you won't it? OK Dar? ThankQ.
Thanks for your reply. No not just yet. Y? Izac is not very socialized yet. He is obedient I would say. He is listens to us (my wife and me) plays well with my sons does every thing we tell him eg: come, sit stop, No, run up, down..... and so on but when some stranger come near 2 - 3 feet away he backs and is ready to attack but even so I can still get him to stay and sit with the stranger around but he will never take his eyes of them. Other dogs ... well forget it. So he still has to be socialized for shows. Do U own a Rotti too?
Unfortunately Dar, I have not have the privilege of owning a big dog although I am dreaming of it... I did however get to play with a Rotti down the road..he was a sweet guy..
I am very interested in understanding proper socializing as well...because I went through the same problem with a previous dog. But, the bad thing about living in Malaysia is you can't bring the dog out to pretty much any public place ..so how have you socialized him so far or how do you plan to??
Rainbow, I think that is another reason why we should arrange as you say a day of our "Doggie Day" to bring out our dog and let them socialize around & same to the members..
Yeap Andrew..that is a VERY GOOD suggestion!!! I really wonder how my Holli will react to a stranger(judge) touching her next week..because she's not used to it..
