ArbDogs? Pics!

My Rottie will regularly bring home a stick from any walk, some about 70-90cm long, some no more than ice cream sticks. His favorite are plastic bottles, if he finds a good one, we will walk around a lovely quiet woodland to the soundtrack of a dog making plastic crackle

Love that Stephen, even standing still he looks like he's moving at full tilt!

Not an ounce of spare on him ! 🙂

Rottweilers are known for their big bark

 

 

He couldn't find a bottle or stick today, so settled on this, knocked off a branch by a flail trimming a near-by hedge

Some people buy Rotties because of their fierce, protective, burglar deterrent nature.

 

Reality is he is snoring like a train, holding his favorite toy and waiting for his meal to be dished up

I think that Rotties and Dobbies  are  much maligned breeds. In the wrong  hands they can be terrifying, they are after all bloody big dogs  !

My experience with both breeds is good.

On my regular  walks with the muppets (aka spaniels) I quite  regularly  come across  a single Rottie bitch with her owner, aged about four, have natter  with owner, make a fuss of a lovely happy dog whilst all dogs mooch about doing what dogs do. All happy as Larry  with each other and humans.

Another old girl has a pair of Dobbie's, brother and sister, about six year old. The dogs a little bit shy but forward with it and the bitch tears around with the aforesaid muppets. Once again both up for a fuss and ear scratch.

This  all happens well out of the way from the town, in private woodland with all obviously well socialised dogs.

I'm happy to say out in the woods I've never come across a nasty dog....In the town, well that's a different matter  🙄

Been dithering for years. Finally got a shepherd of my own. Sailor. Nearly two. Settled in unbelievably well.
