MEET SAMANTHA!
Samantha is an incredible rottweiler, looking for her person to share the world with! If you are looking for a capable companion, love dog training, and appreciate a dog with grit, read on!
Samantha is a working girl, and she wants a purpose! Though not the most graceful, she is eager, willing, and enjoys a challenge! There is a lot of dog packaged in a compact body, and she’s looking for someone to take advantage of everything she offers!
She has been started in dock diving, disc, and agility basics. She loves to learn, and is a very willing partner. She will excel in a home that enjoys working in a true partnership, and enjoys exploring different activities throughout the year. She is an all-season companion! She is also wonderful to live with, with an excellent off switch, and a fantastic house dog.
Samantha has worked very hard on being neutral out in the world, but there is a lot of overarousal inside. She is dog/animal aggressive, and needs to be the only pet in the home. It is very well managed, but her adopter needs to respect her breed and genetics, and be capable of continuing her management. I am not looking to place her in a crate and rotate situation. She deserves a place of her own.
She has physical boundaries with handling and will need muzzling at the vet, with sedation required for some procedures. She has some fear issues with grooming that we have worked hard on, and is a dog her new owner will need to be comfortable grooming at home. Cooperative care goes a long way! She will need to be crated for guests/repair persons visiting the home.
She builds working/training relationships reasonably well, as long as boundaries aren’t pushed too hard, too quick. She is very toy/food motivated, and will willingly work for both. They can absolutely be built further still. She is very communicative with her body language, and definitely has classic rotti *loud* vocalizations. She requires someone with good knowledge of discerning rotti “grumbles” from rotti warnings. Absolutely not for a first time rotti owner, or working line owner. I have not had any inappropriate resource guarding seen, but there is possessiveness in there. This could potentially be shaped into bitework, if someone was interested at a club level.
Samantha is a true rottweiler through and through, and someone will find themselves with an exceptional girl! If you are a breed enthusiast, and have the lifestyle to offer that she craves, she looks forward to your application!
