Yep there were a couple Rotties there! I actually got to hold a rottie during bite work the other day........OMG are they strong. It belongs to a friend of mine and her husband was doing the helper work, so I held the dog for them. This dog is so funny........when you let her out of her kennel, she runs for a rope that is tied up in a tree, she jumps up and grabs the rope and swings back and forth. She is a very cool rottie girl, sweet as can be too. Her brother is doing awesome in Schutzhund and is also being shown in the breed ring.

Ziris wont be on the sleeve for a long time. Rommel was really started to early on the sleeve, so I am really just in NO rush with Ziris. She is doing awesome though. I love my little dutch girl.

Rommel didnt get to do bite work that day. I think you probably read in another post of mine that Rommel's Schutzhund days are over. I will still do obedience with him and hopefully agility, but bite work will only be occasional and for fun. He loves it, but he is very unpredictable under pressure. He will either take cheap shots and bite you in the stomach or he will get mouthy on the sleeve, or a number of other things. He is a wonderful dog, but the older he gets the more I see that he just isnt cut out for this sport. He tried..........we learned alot. I always said that if he ever stopped enjoying it, or we had to push him to far to make him do it, we would be done. And we are at that point....so I think it is in his best intrest to chalk it up as alot of fun and move on to the next sport for him. He and Piper are lavishing in the life of spoiled house dogs at the moment

Exactly! When I told my obedience instructor that Cole will not heel or walk nicely for anyone but me, she told me that's they way it should be.

Z looks fantastic. She looks in splendid condition. You go girl!

Thanks She is actually a little bit fat. I have never had a fat dog, so this is a first for me. LOL. She is now on a reduced fat diet, and she is eating less. Oh.....and she only gets Turkey Hot Dogs for training. haha.

But Thank You!
