| Barry, although I would like to accept your praise about being a senior member, I only earned it one way, by having a year of hell with my first dog and asking so many questions here I know everyone was sick of me. This is a wonderful place to learn everything you need to know about rottweilers, by who better than, ACTUAL owners, themselves, and several people here are the true senior members, they have years of training experience, field work, show experience, some work in veterinary fields, they are the true "seniors". By the way, there is no big prize for the most posts....they gave away all the free vacations and prizes last year..LOL
I have learned a great deal over the last couple of years now, and have found happiness, with a very sweet rottie girl. I feel that I can contribute in certain areas, where I have learned also, but for the major issues, I let the real experts deal with them.
I got a lot of help here with Zeke and I don't know what I would have done without it, for that I am forever greatful.
I have a tremendous love and respect for this breed, and am learning things myself constantly. All I want to do is be the best owner I can be, and enjoy having a well trained and behaved companion for life.  |
