The only thing I can think of to say is:

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh SO CUTE!!

I just bought a rottie for my daughter, he was born on Oct, 23 and we will pick him up on Dec 24.

Hopefully he is as cute as your new addition to the family. I guess dogs are a "girls best firend" too!

Very cute but start training now. The work you do now will pay huge benefits later as you will have a well mannered and obedient friend. Remember a Rot will be very large, you must make sure you have control and not the dog controlling you.

Best of luck

There are 2 Rots in my neighborhood. They are such good doggies that I somtimes forget that they outweigh me. They play with the kids in the front yard as well as the fenced back yard. They never leave their yard. When I go outside they will go to the edge of their yard and bark once as a hello to me.

I had 2 ferrets. Then added 2 kittens. Along came a puppy. They all knew the little ones had siniority. It was hilariose to watch a 65 pound dog play with 2 4 pound ferrets. (He let the ferrets win in every game.)

I love ferrets, I had two when I was younger Gypsy and Speedy.... I still miss them. Now I have two dogs A German Shepherd and a Danish Shorthaired Pointer

my family have owned rottweilers for 3 generations my parents rottweiler died in 1998 she was 13 and i was 6, kya is already eating her food on command and is dropping food on command, she sits shakes lies down rolls over stays and comes to you on command, im currently in the process of recording a video she also knows that if one of us says 'whats that or whos that' when a noise is made that means protection mode. her hackles go up and she gets very defensive, this is all on command and it only said when is needed.

the two pictures i uploaded of her sitting thats her sitting on command waiting to be told she can get up

it is very true rottweilers are not a breed for first time dog owners and need a firm hand and early socialisation which needs to be carried out through there entire life, they will try to dominate you and they will be stronger than you. not a breed to mess with. they have the ability to kill, one bite from a adult male could break your arm like a twig, much stronger than pitbulls, (my second favourite breed) kya and my uncles male pitty get on like besties

Also, remember to touch her all over. (Years ago) when our dog was a puppy, we would especially play with her ears, touch her face around the eyes, open her mouth, touch her toes, etc. Then when we took her for her vet checkups, she had no problem with the vet touching her and looking in her eyes, ears, and mouth. And if anything had ever gotten stuck between her toes (a piece of gravel, a thorn, etc) we could have taken it out with no fuss because she was used to people touching her feet.

Enjoy your new friend! She's a cutie!!!

SHe's adorable!

My husband had a female Rottie and she was apparently the sweetest soul ever. When they later got a kitten, she was terrified of it! I think all dogs are far better off with decent basic training, but I think Rottweilers have a reputation for fierceness that's based more on training and appearance then inherent aggressiveness.

yea rottweilers have a natural VERY strong instinct to protect there family at all costs, early training is needed so this behaviour is controlled, coda our first rotty was trained to bearhug intruders instead of biting (bearhugging is basically overpowering someone with body weight), our first rotty only ever bit one person in her whole 13 years of life and thats when my dads friend went at her with a stick for barking at him.
