Rottweiler

[skybluestu]

My Rott is about to give pups. I have no idea who the father is but if there is interest let me know. Thanks.

I hope the father was a Rottweiler or you could have an interesting mix

"devil Dogs" to be sure !

I visited Skyblustu last week and his "devil Dog" insisted on chewing my favourite Pakama, cum kneckerchief , cum general sweat rag. I don't know what the attraction was , She left the thing with a decidedly doggy smell

Its a Travesty, I paid over 30 baht for it 3 years ago

That's a famosus libellus if ever I've seen one!!! But I'll ignore it otherwise I'll have an annus horribilis. Wasn't she sleeping until you challenged her to a tug-of-war using your sweat-rag? Might be mistaken though, us Rottie owners tend to see things differently than other 'normal' folk.

I won't tell her what you said but next time you drop by I'll tell her it's OK to play while it's still round your neck .

Scea, the slobber was the dogs equivalent of lipstick on your collar, wanted you to get grief from Yoyo when you got home.

Did you pick up your new toy today Jubby? Mean green or porno red?

[jubby]

Sweat Rag !? .... Oh ..... It wasn't the smell that attracted the Sleeping Dog

I can assure you I bathe every friday wether I need to or not.

Its interesting how the Dog sleeps on the move and its snores heavily too

Anyway, I'm after a new Pakama. I've checked Big C, Makro , several 7-11's and a couple of bakeries but no joy.

If anyone can suggest where I might find one ; I'd appreciate it

I don't think you can call yourself a true Chiang Rai expat until you've been slobbered over by skyblustu's dog.

'Slobbered' Scea. !!! . ......... Thats not the picture I was trying to paint .

Wheres VF when I need him; We need a word befitting of a 'Devil Dog', any Dog can slobber

'an affa sliverin beastie', said in your best Scots accent ,perhaps?

'I don't have a best Scots accent .... Affa's not in my vocabulary . Its not the F word is it

Fit like, Jubby? O.K. then, with your best English accent it would 'translate' as 'a really awfully slobbery animal'.

[kandahar]

Anyone looking for a pup that ISN'T a rottie? Chiang Rai is producing a few. I suspect these are MUCH better looking than Stu's pooch.

I always feel sorry for them in the heat, that pushed in nose isn't really suited for breathing in the tropical season.

No way Jose!

[jubby]

I was just thinking . Oh No... Not this thread again

Cute ! . I don't think the pushed in nose is suitable for any weather.

Our next door (500m) neighbours have 2 rottweilers.

We can not walk along the road.

Everybody (thai) complains about them,but nobody does anything.

Bloody animals - i mean the neighbours.

Must be very big if they block the whole road! Or you mean you don't walk down the road because they are Rottweilers?

1. yes they ARE very big, possibly a crosssing with a buffalo.

2. it is only a dirt road, as we live in a rambutan garden......

3. our dogs agree with me, so it is not a farang thing.

A friend of mine who lives in a mooban with dogs constantly barking and chasing people has resorted to using this...

It's a BB gun and is fairly effective.

[sceadugenga]

I find my walking stick more than sufficient to discourage territorial dogs.

It's not me they bother with anyway, it's my dog they object to.

I have had dogs all of my life and various breeds. I agree with the point about the dogs being dogs and owners being bad , however, regardless of any breed the dog is a dog and if it feels like it , it will bite someone or something if its annoyed. I have had 2 friends with Rotweilers, one in Bristol in England and a Thai friend here. The friend in Bristol's dog is the biggest Rotweiler I have ever seen , its massive.When it stands on its back legs its 6' tall and weighs about 100kg, its a small pony . When I used to call on my friend I used to knock on the door and get out of the garden real quick , the sight of this dog coming to the door wsa scary as hell . On one occasion I even got back into my car. My friend and his family loved the dog and knew they were well protected but if this dog was ever to bite he would kill for sure.

The Thai friend bought a nice puppy , didnt train it and it was also agressive , it was a lovely dog when they got it , I used to play with him quite a bit and I liked this dog but the owners got rid of him at about 1 year old , they couldnt control him at all and I did consider taking him from them but in the end the wife said NO, she was scared of it .

I would not leave any dog alone with a small child - EVER , regardless .

The most dangerous of dogs here I think are any Soi dog , some are pure evil . The other is the Thai Ridge back , another scary aggressive dog if not trained .

Regardless of what dog you have , as nice as it is, remember it is a DOG and it will bite if provoked.

Playfully biting when your playing with the dog only encourages it to bite , at first its ok but then the dog thinks its ok to bite and eventually he will do harm. I never let my dogs bite me EVER as puppy's, they get trained not to. Always be the boss of your dogs and make sure they know it . My dogs even know the tone of my voice , regardless of the commands. Training takes time , Do it , its important.

I love dogs. All dogs. But always keep in mind that our K-9 friends are K-9 and are instinctive.

Any dog can be provoked if they are annoyed in their own way. One never knows what will be the trigger mechanism to set a dog off.

A Rottweiler can be a very good pet and friend, just as any dog.

But the owner must always keep in mind that the dog can be triggered by a known or unknown stimulus and therefore attack.

Rottweilers are big, friendly, but very strong. They don't intend to do harm, but sometimes they do not know their own strength verses a person.

I had a great (un-neutered male) Rottweiler many years ago that turned on me. I was wrong to try to stop a fight between my Rottweiler and old, half lame German Sheppard. Luckily I was not seriously injured or killed. I only got in the midle and tried to seperate them. I did not kick or hit my dog. I was trying to pull him off. I was wrong in the dog's mind and he turned on me.

That incident was the start of my Rottweiler becoming aggressive toward people. He had to be put down to sleep (euthenized) due to this change in temperment.

It is unfortunate, but an owner of a big dog like this needs to be always aware and protect the family and visitors.

Owners of Rottwielers, Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Sheppards need to be aware of the dangers and be responsible.

Happy Dog Owning. They are great companions. Just be aware.

[kandahar]

Yes, many stories abound concerning this subject.

I too, have a "Rottweiler gone bad" story. I hate to pick on the breed but the facts are the facts. Years ago, my younger brother attacked an old and half-lame German Sheppard. Myself and my other brothers tried to pull my younger brother away from the poor dog but my younger brother turned on us. Fortunately, he wasn't able to bite any of us. Unfortunately, he began to become more and more aggressive after that. We considered many options as a way to settle him down but we finally settled on neutering him. We took him to the vet for the procedure but the vet didn't like the idea. My brothers and I ended up doing the procedure at home. It took five of us to do it. It turns out the younger brother didn't like the idea either.

The procedure really didn't make him any less aggressive. In fact, he got worse. So, back to the vet we went, to have him put down but again, the vet didn't like the idea. So, we took him home and put him to sleep ourselves. It was a tough thing to do. My father was especially upset because his golf clubs suffered quite a bit from that procedure.

Later, both of my parents began to miss my younger brother. My brothers and I bought them the most aggressive, dangerous Rottweiler we could find, as a substitute for my brother. All was well for a short time but the dog eventually started to become a lap dog and to play nicely with the neighbor's cats. The longer time went on, the less afraid everyone became of him. He finally died of old age after spending the last ten years of his life sitting on chicken eggs and hatching them in the hen house. So, all in all, I would say you have to be a careful.

Well aren't I a lucky boy then as my beautiful, sweet-natured, friendly, playful and non-aggressive female Rottweiler is only 32kg and very different to the vast majority of the vicious, ferocious beasts that these dogs normally turn out to be.

Bored now, can Mr Moderator close this thread, apart from giving scaremongers the opportunity to write nonsense it's pointless!

Your 'Barking Mad' Kd. ........... please resist the temptation to bump this thread in a couple of months

Just watch the thread I started and find out about the two camps like I wrote before.

Update on my stories: Two months ago I bought a beautiful boxer. I was afraid of only one thing; the two bitches could not go together well.... They are doing beautiful.

Update on my previous stories: The seller of the boxer wanted to send her to me after 6 weeks. I gently asked him to leave the pup at least 8 weeks with the mother to socialize. After 9 weeks I got her and both me and Schnapps, my rotti are training her.

Did I quote you KD? No, so don't be so sensitive. Your post was obviously tongue-in-cheek and not scaremongering (although I'm not sure why you chose to resurrect this thread, it only attracts daft posts from dumb & dumber which I then feel obliged to reply to), the ones I was referring to were the "I once knew a guy with a 1 tonne Rottweiler/werewolf cross that used to eat babies for breakfast' etc etc

Hopefully you'll take on board Jubby's request and not bump this thread again but if you do I'll promise not to post again regardless of how much sh1t people write.

I'll leave you with this video of a Rottweiler which shows the TRUE temperament of these beautiful dogs, hope you enjoy it, it has over 2 million hits!

It is still,Thursday. I'm still having fun. I'm not sensitive about this at all.

But I didn't watch the video. I don't watch any of them on here.

Just between you and I (nobody else read this, okay?), I was having fun with your known good humor when I resurrected the thread. And, I'll probably do it again. And some of the late-comers will probably weigh in. And things won't change one bit between your dog and you, or cmjantje's dogs and him.

But just to get us all back on track, I will concur with something cmjantje said. An older dog will help a whole lot when you bring a new pup on the place. I never had to teach my Great Pyrenees pups anything. The older dogs knew the do's and don'ts and they made sure the little ones learned them quickly.

Now look what you've made me do, I promised not to post on this thread again but here I am!

But as it's now only between you and I it doesn't matter as I know you won't mind that I broke my promise.

Young dogs, old dogs, big dogs, small dogs....they're just dogs! I had a lovely walk with Pat this morning, he's huge, his arms are as big as my legs and I'm sure IF he wanted to he could do me a lot of damage. I sometimes enjoy watching UFC and Muay Thai, there are guys who are much smaller & lighter than me who would put me in hospital within about 10 seconds IF they wanted to. I saw a policeman with a gun earlier, he could have shot me IF he wanted to. The word IF is used far too often when people try to justify their opinion about Rottweilers (and a whole host of other things).

It's not the size of the dog in the fight that counts, it's the size of the fight in the dog!

The End

ps...I won't tell Jubby you don't watch his videos, I know he only posts them for you

[Nawtier]

There are no bad dogs, there are bad owners. My dog kills you! She is Licking you to death!

There is an owner of one of these dogs on another forum, he had his dog poisoned because he is an outright ahole. He kept his dog alive and in pain and agaony for a year and it is on its last legs now still in agony and he will not have it put down because he cannot lose it.

Yes, you are correct about bad owners.

[villagefarang]

Does somebody post videos here?

Oh, wait a second, I’m the Golden Retriever guy so I shouldn’t be here, should I. Unlike with people, I have never met a dog I didn’t like. Can’t say for sure if either the dogs or the people like me, but thankfully only the dogs lick me...usually.

[katabeachbum]

funny to see my rotties in a video, most of them behave the same. I m on my third one, used to have other working dogs before rotties

rotties are usually stubborn and very oriented to complete the task they have been given, thus not very suitable for a first dog owner. But for experienced owners willing to spend some time giving dog jobs to do, its one of the most rewarding dogs in the world. Loyal, playfull, never gives up on a task, fearless and sometimes like a baby just wanting to curl up in your lap
