I agree with myzeus, My Rottie was swelled up like Zeus, I used to hear people make rude comments about his weight. my dog also had thyroid trouble and left him with little energy to exercise much. I wished people would have asked me if my dog was sick making him big instead of assuming he was over fed. Hows Apollo doing?.
I know what you went trough with Zeus, My 7 year old Rottie also had ostescarcoma. I had to put him down April 14th last year. It nearly killed me since I am disabled and lived alone with my dog. His name was Cobra. I have a new Rottie now and I'm feeding him nothing but natural holistic dog food, and I'm keeping him on the trim side. He's just turned 1 year old and weighs 91 LBS. Zeus was a beautiful dog, your other Rottie is also beautiful. I give my dog Glycoflex for his joints.
Zeus is no longer alive. He had a bone cancer, Osteosarcoma. His body was swollen because of the bone cancer. Some of you people are sick and nasty to think he was over weight....have some sympathy for a sick dog who had bone cancer. Zeus was put to sleep on October 8, 2010...he is no longer suffering with his bone cancer.
@myzeus I dont see why people think he was "fat" he did look swollen now that you mention it. But do people forgot that rotts are naturally big and bulky dogs? Im sorry for your loss btw.
@myzeus I am so sorry. My rottie, Brandy, was also put to sleep this fall because of the same cancer. She couldn't even walk on her front paw. She was 10. Don't worry about defending yourself to the douche bags on the internet. Opinions are like a**holes - everyone has one and people will say anything when they're hiding behind a keyboard.
I'm sorry for your loss. I too love Rottweilers. I initially thought he was a 'ChubbsieWubbsie' who loved food and was enjoying life. He was a beautiful dog/ member of your family. Again, I'm sorry for your loss. :-(
This video was taken in 2007...3 years ago. Since then, both of my rottweilers that you see here have lost weight and are now very lean and they will also be 5 years old this coming March 14th.
@johnreed45 I am sorry but you are mistaken. I have never bred Zeus or used him as a stud yet. Apollo is now neutered. You must be thinking of another dog.
Great dogs!!! i can see the dogs are not starving.. hahah.. My rottweiler male is 6 months old and 34kg. and my rottweiler female is 40kg. so my baby boy is going to be a big bear.. :) love the breed.. <3
My rottie is sick. He was swimming in poisoned water and we didn't know that. He bites when you touch him and he doesn't eat and he doesn't drink. He only sleeps :(
i just got your reply back. my name is desmond im from san antonio tx, ive been dealing with razors edge pitbulls grew up raising and dealing with rott weilers. im tired of dealing with the law and peoples out look on pits. i told myself im goin back to rottweilers, but i just dont want any rottweiler i want one just like zeus, if you could please would you send me the information i need to get in touch with the breeder you used thx
u need to do research on the net like i did before i got my rotts. i found the breeder in waller, texas from research on the internet. i don't currently have the breeder's address available. good luck in finding a reputable rott breeder.
First off, I highly recommend that you brush up on research and change your training tactics since pit bulls are harder to train than rottweilers. let me know when you're ready for a pup. I know th e perfect breeder.
don't know. u need to check with the home owners insurance companies to find out. each person's experience with the insurance companies is different. just call them to find out.
I chose those names because the Rottweiler breed originated from the Roman Empire and it was the Romans who introduced the Rottweiler to Germany. I felt it was appropriate to give my rotts Roman/Greek mythology God names. And I do appreciate that period of mythology.
i love rotties there my favorite dogs and i used to have 1 but he died at 6 on 12/12/06 i was very upset. im getting another one whenever we see one that we like and were naming him apollo right now i hav a french bulldog pug mix named roxy.Also theres a website called recycled rotts and they find homeless rotts.nice dogs
omg i love rottweilers there are my favorite dogs i had 1 who died on 12/12/06 and im getting another one sometime in a couple months and were naming him apollo my past rott that died was 142 pounds and died at 6 right now i hav a french bulldog pug mix named roxy.
some nice looking dogs you have there. Once i graduate from college i'm definitely gettnig a rottie for a doberman...my girfriend is scared to death of dobermans but loves rotties...go figure...no such thing as bad dogs just bad owners...and i love the names too...i always said that when i get my dogs i'd name one of them Apollo...big fan of the greek gods (that's a history major for ya hahaha) good luck with you big ol doggies there!
do rotts have a chewing disorder like pitbulls?I am thinking of getting one but i have to keep him in my house and i don't want him to eat the whole house down.
you need to train them to a crate. Do a google on dog crate training. The crate is a huge help and they do learn to love it like their own space or den.
Yes, mine did alot of chewing, my wall, door frames, couch and etc but when I trained them to the crate I got all the chewing under control and also the house breaking. The key is to train your pup to the crate. Make it enjoyable for them with food. I used food to get them to like their crates.
i got a female pup at 3 months now, and she chew evrything. but she is not into eating alot, she eats normal, even when we give her meat she doesnt eat it like a normal rotweiler would do it, she eats slowly
it depends on the dog actually. my rottweiler i never had to worry about it. But if you train them you shouldnt have any problems when you see hem chew something they are not suppose to say no and give them a toy that they should be chewing that sould get your problem fixed if you will have any. Good luck they are great dogs I had one that recently passed away I have a pitt but iam going to get an other rottie soon I just love them best personality ever great dogs.
They are big boys! You dont have to worry about anybody coming in your yard! I know what you mean about getting 2 puppies at the same time! I did that once and it was hard. I had 2 females out of the same litter and they were easy to train but they chewed everything until 2 years old! I called them my ternmites. We had plenty of bones and toys but they would have rather chewed the trees and house! They turned out awesome though.
It took my boys 3 years to grow out of the chewing stage and they loved to chew my house too. They also had their own bones and toys. They would do it when I was not looking or when I was asleep. They still love to eat grass, dirt and mud. So you know what it's like to have 2 rotts at the same time. Yes, it is alot of work and they keep me real busy. They are the best boys though, so loyal and loving. And you are correct, they are great guard dogs.
Great looking Rotties! The one who is running towards the camera in the end looks really massive, is he/she in shape or a little bit overweight? Hope no offens is taken, I'm just curious :-) Magnus
No, Zeus is not overweight. The dog food was bloating him up. Now I cook for them and they have slimmed down. They were sick there for awhile since they were also eating Ol Roy dog biscuits which were recalled. My rotts were vomiting and real sick from Ol Roy dog biscuits. My rotts can run properly since I do know that they DO NOT have hip dyplasia. Both their sire and dam were OFA certified as being negative and free of hip dyplasia.
My family and I would like to own 2 Rotties one day, but we would like to have 2 intact males at the same time as we don't agree with neutering. Is this possible or will they fight constantly?
I do not recommend getting 2 rottweilers at the same time or 2 rottweilers from the same litter. I made that mistake. It is alot of work training 2 rottweilers at the same time. My 2 male rotts were fighting and they are brothers. I had to get Apollo neutered because he had a fault and I agreed to have him neutered by the breeder's agreement. I would not recommend getting 2 rotts at the same time, not a good idea.
I don't reccommend that you get two males from the same litter becuase they're so much more dominant than females they will fight more for rankings in the pack. I suggest that you take two unrelated males.
