oh, and then there's my daughters rottweiler, Bruno, what a boy.
he is only 5 months and must weight the best part of 25 Kgs. |
My sons Rotty is bigger than your daughters one. We think he has stopped growing ( I hope). He passed the 25 kg mark six months ago. I have stopped taking him for walkies since he dislocated my shoulder. He suddenly decided to chase a magpie.  |
Deniz, I know the feeling, he has a good pull on him.
Heres a question for you. I have noticed that bruno has difficulty standing on his hind legs, i.e he can't seem to lift himself and stand up against you if you know what I mean. I also noticed that even (and excuse me on this) when he positions himself for a c**p he seems wobbly.
is this normal? Is it because he is a pup and very heavy or should I be concerned. Whats your one like.
Cheers in advance |

| patheman, speak to the vet about getting him hip scored. i'm not sure if hip problems are part of the breed, in general all pedigrees have their different medical problems. also there are some breeds which shouldn't be allowed to stand on their hind legs until they are fully grown, i was given that advice by the breeder of my giant schnauzer.( not that she listened.) |

I am really sorry O, which one did you lose?
I have a giant schnauzer boy called "Waffee" which is Arabic for faithful. He looks the part - but is a real softy!!! He swims in the sea every day, and weighs nearly the same as me!! He will be 6 years old on the 6th August so I will be making him a liver birthday cake!!!! |

I am always told by vets that large dogs often suffer pelvic problems. It may be due to lack of exercise. They do need to keep fit to keep that body healthy. Keeping him on a leash guarding your home all day is not the best 'exercise'. I am no expert, but talking to various people widens your 'common sense'. Having said all that, I am sure he is under the care of a good vet who will advise you better, having examined the monster  I hope he gets bettter with a lot of running/playing. |

He is pure Black, I wanted a salt'n pepper but had no luck - he has a few grey hairs in his beard now- so by the time he's 12 yrs old he will be a salt'n pepper!!!!! I feed him on the bones and raw food diet - he only eats raw food - no cans or dried food, so his teeth are white and he's as fit as a butchers dog!!! |

Deniz,
you have made an incorrect assumption, I don't keep him on a lead tied up all day, he is kept in a dog run and he is exercised morning, afternoon and evening.
Same as my ones too. He seems to pull alright, its the standing that I was concerned about, but I will speak to my vet. Thanks. |

| Cocker spaniel bitch, with the best tracking nose ever. She is a terror with cats, otherwise there would be a few around the house, there always were before she came along. And there are a bunch of wild parrots living in the neighborhood that we feed now and again. |

Wrong assumptions are easily made. Sorry, but that is why I suggested the vet. Good luck. |
