__RYAN__

I cannot actually remember the name of the breeder sorry. She was a very nice lady who lived on the Southside of Brisbane. My wife will remember, I can ask her tonight when I get home if you like?

Thank you. I actually grew up with a Rotty called Ben, he was my best friend when I was a boy. He lived to the ripe old age of 13, my mother was devistated when he passed on.

Thank you. I actually think we are the lucky ones. Zeus has been amazing since the day we brought him home, he really is a credit to his breeder. He was basically completely toilet trained the day we took him home (apart from one accident), has never sooked, only ever barks to alert us to something he isnt happy with (strange people at the fence etc), follows instructions on command (big thanks to Justin from Dogtech for that), doesnt chew anything that isnt "his". He still has a long way to go considering he is still only 6 months old. I will be enrolling him in some advanced training classes shortly to see just how far he can actually go.

Awesome shots! Love the expression in the last pic!

Thanks, I will pop over to the Rottweiler sub forum and introduce myself and Zeus.

Hi all, My name is Ryan and this is our Rottweiler puppy Zeus. My wife and I live in Brisbane with our 3 young children. About 4 months ago we decided to get a dog for our family. Having grown up with a Rottweiler there was really no other choice of which breed we were going to welcome into our home. He turned 6 months old today and weighs about 33kgs (72.7Lbs), he is extremely intelligent, very confident, loves other dogs (except for one Staffy he see's on our walks) very protective of "his" house and family. Here he is the day we picked him up, 8 weeks old. He was around 10 weeks old in this photo, putting weight and size on at a incredible rate. He is about 14 weeks old in this photo, he had just finished his first puppy pre-school session and was exhausted. Here he is around 4 months playing with his chew toy. And finally, taken today, 6 months old. He is a very important part of our family and we wouldnt know what to do without him. He is our 3yo son's best friend and even lets our 5yo daughter play "dress ups" with him.
