TL;DR: 

After losing my best boy, Gunner, to cancer in April, I didn't think my heart could take another loss, literally. \*See below\* So, I was harmlessly "just looking" online, at my fav breed, that I was likely not going to have again. That led to meeting a great Couple>very experienced breeders,>fellow Vet, which led to several conversations untill the puppies were nearing "homing dates," and that led to bringing home my new Rottweiler, Judah, a bit over 3 weeks ago. .

It was unplanned, because I didn't know if I was ready, or would ever be "ready again."  However, it ended up being the best decision I could have made. I was fortunate to find an incredible, ethical breeder who truly cares about improving the breed through proper health testing and seeking out immaculate, top-tier bloodlines. Judah came into my life right when I needed him most, and I don't want a life where dogs don't exist, esp Rotties. Meh, still a bit wordy but that's me when enthusiasticly speaking.

PLEASE DROP PICTURES OF YOUR ROTTIES (OR ANY DOG PIC, THAT MAKES YOU SMILE !) in the comments—babies or fully grown, I’d love to see them! Front passenger seat is day 1, 5 hr car ride home. It seems like he's doubled in size, but it may be the picture lol

TL;DR END.\*\*

Now, for the full story if you're interested. 

So, after losing my best boy, Gunner, on April 11th of this year, from lymphoma. (Eff Cancer!) 🥹😭 I had to make that call that we all hope never comes, after 7 years and 3 months of us never getting tired of reuniting, even if I just took the trash out! Never tired of training, running with me, and traveling everywhere I went. I brought him home at 8 weeks as well. I legitimately feel guilty when I say losing my dogs has hurt worse than some of the people I've lost over the years. I can't be alone in that thinking, I'd imagine? But, like the times before, When we say goodbye, I always say and think, "I can't go through that again. They take a part of me with them. I'm sure we all have felt that way. You may be feeling that right now, and I'm sorry for your pain and know it too well. 

For me, a lifelong - major dog lover, and a fairly recently single guy, after 6 years that taught me many lessons in the end, but this isn't the place. But, experiencing grief, while in my oversized and lonely house, that no longer had that distinct sound of nails on the carpet free areas, I decided to sooth myself and "just look around" online for a few days, at shelter's, Rottweiler Marketplaces, breeders sites, etc., Once I saw the familiar 'Bear Cubs' that are the beloved baby Rottweiler, and long story a little shorter, I came across a really good hearted, nice, experienced couple, who loved the breed as much as I do, and that were genuinely in this to improve upon our breed, with puppies Ethically bred with comprehensive health tests completed for both parents. No byb energy. On top of not being "that type," his patience to answer any and all questions I had while I thought things over, and his experience leading him to combine health certified, beautiful and strong, driven-working lines in the pedigree, with Champions of conformation and working titles "littered" 🙃 throughout the pedigrees, and close relatives, I felt I should jump on an opportunity that may not come back around for quite a while, and 3 weeks ago I was blessed to pickup my new bear cub, Judah. And I do feel as though I am very blessed. It seems as though a dog comes into my life right when I need it most and I have had a rough time to say the least. The last thing I expected was for Gunner to suddenly go from perfectly normal to where we went in a few days time. But I'm trying to keep this A happy post so I will leave that, there. I always love you though, my little buddy, Gunner. 

I figured I'd officially introduce him to my fellow Rottie enthusiasts, and I'm sure he'll be shared regularly, as I constantly take pictures lol... It's hilarious seeing a Rottweiler actually catch his tail from time to time, instead of chasing a "Nub." This is the first Rottie I've had or even seen in person without a docked tail. Reading how it's used as a rudder for counterbalance and agility, etc., made sense, and I do love a happy tail when coming home! 

Anyway, enjoy the pictures and if you. wouldn't mind I would love to see pictures of your Rotties, whether they are still babies or all grown up they will still make me smile! . .

Hi, fellow Rottweiler enthusiast. I figured I would officially introduce my new 4-legged best friend, Judah. We all know there's no friend like a Rottweiler. Loyal, unconditionally loving, protective, and unexpectedly hilarious/goofballs. He's my 4th, and I know we'll have tons of great times!
