DYK I think if I had to share the most important thing when raising a rottweiler, I would say socialize them really well when they are puppies?

DYK Take the opportunity to have that puppy around all kinds of people and in bunches of different situations?

DYK When Princess was little, we took her just about everywhere with us?

DYK It's very important that you learn to control them while they puppies, before they get too big to control?

DYK So as cute as it is for that little puppy to jump on you, it's not cute anymore when they are over 100lbs?

DYK I'm sure you know a lot of this already, Sheila, having had a big dog already?

DYK The difference might be that rottweilers are said to be 'fiercely protective'?

DYK That's why it's so terribly important to have them around lots of people and in different places early on?

DYK Princess never had to 'protect' me, but whenever we would walk her and we came up to people she didn't know or know well, she would put herself between me and that person?

DYK It's not something we ever taught her, it's just something she did?

DYK We do have a new Bass Pro Shop that has opened up in our area?

DYK I'm wondering if some of the shoes I already have might have that gore-tex membrane?

DYK I have several pair of Merrel hiking type shoes, but for comfort, they wouldn't be the ones I would pick?

DYK I love my New Balance running shoes, but I know they aren't weather proof and I really don't want to go thru the wet shoe nightmare?

DYK That happened on our trip out west several times and it was just miserable?

DYK- I'm really hoping this all works out for us and the puppy!


DYK- Our Buddy, looked so very mean, all black, but show him a tennis ball and he was your friend for life.

dyk I read thru FB posts last night specifically to get to her first one about this whole thing


dyk and to think he said he was fine


dyk I told her (you likely saw) that she made the right decision taking him to ER


dyk prayers are definitely going out to them all

dyk I read them all but saved soem comments to just do one post since it's a bit quicker at work


dyk Julie, I'm glad you're feeling better


dyk Rebekah, congrats on 21 years


dyk RE: Jennie and Sean I'm glad she didn't listen to him when he said he was fine, and she's blessed to have a great support system both hear and at home so everyone/thing will be taken care of


dyk Sheila, that sounds neat to be specifically interested in the runt; it's also good to see that rottie mixes don't seem to have the same reputations as rotties; but it's definitely all about the socialization regardless


dyk Theresa, glad you caught Connor's infection before it became serious


dyk it seems to be that time of year for the creeping-crud to hit -- I wonder if the up & down weather of the summer is influencing it at all
