I'm a huge dog lover and so far, I have two dogs.. A 10yr old brown GSD "Major" and a 1 year old Rottweiler "Khal Drogo". I have also never seen a dog that wouldn't vibe with me except recently a chow chow that seems apprehensive of everyone.

But this thread is about my boy, Khal.

He's an indoor dog... He's just like the last born in the house.. Lol.. Yeah.. He's that integrated.

His character?


* perfect temperament. Khal will show no sign of aggression until you attack someone from his family or a random kid. The real hero.

*He'd back up an intruder into a corner and stay there with him until someone from inside comes to let him in.

* You're a friend if you talk to anyone in his family... Should you start a fight even after being accepted by him.. You're a threat.

I was out with him on a walk when I met someone I know... We stood to have a talk while Khal sat quietly beside me... Another man joined and along the line, he said "But this your dog seems stupid... He didn't bark at me when I came"

I asked him if that was his orientation of what a good dog is and asked him to push my chest and see what the dog would do".... Hahahah

* Visits every one in their room every morning and has a quick morning nap on my bed.

* Understands every command you can think of... Go out, too rough., bad boy, good boy, stay, go, Call Peter... Etc

* If he needs to urinate, he'd pick his belt up and bring it to anyone to take him out.

* He's friends with chickens... And will stand his ground when we meet any other dog that wants to attack him... His massive head has always discouraged any other dog though.

Attached Is a picture of Khal after a quick bath and another picture of Khal and Peter having a Bro moment at a balcony

404.

He contracted Parvo virus from a boerbull puppy... Just because we let someone else keep his sick puppy in his cage over night since Khal doesn't use the cage...

Khal got so sick he didn't eat for 2 weeks.. I had to stay out and sit with him from 7am till 7pm for a week to make sure his drip never fell out... And Khal never shook the leg that was dripped as if he knew it was of help.

He also totally loved the vet that took care of him all through... He was surprised to see a rottweiler that was so calm and confident... And more surprised to see the love we showered on him...

He was barely a year when this happened and his weight dropped from 39kg to 31kg.... We thought he would die since he was in the fatal stage.... But my boy bounced back.

It took him a months and 12drips to fully recover and gain his weight back. I would have cried like a baby if he had died.


***************

Khals sister actually gave birth to a litter about four months ago and I've been there a few times to check on her, her pups and the other rotts there.

She let me get close to her puppies while she'd still not let the Chowchow near

This was a picture taken last week of one of the puppies - Jackie (the bigger pup of the litter)

Annie gave birth to five puppies, two were rare red rottweilers and the remaining were the regular rottweiler colours.... Jackie is a female and no! They didn't want to sell exotic friendly Jackie at all.

So far... Khal has been the exact opposite of what the media and the world think about Rottweilers.

It took a lot of discipline and love from the whole family to mould him into a dog I can always vouch for with even babies..

There was a time my baby cousin who was two months old was left in the living room with a guy who Khla was just getting to like... Khal went over to the baby and stood over him while watching the new guy closely.. He'd nudge the baby back under him if he tried to craw away.... The moment the new guy stood to join me at the dining... Khal gave a loud bark...

A rare picture of a tired Khal after killing a lot of lizards and another where we were on a walk.....

I have lost his puppy pictures due to a memory loss on my phone (courtesy of my cousin - Marvel1206) .... Will be taking more pictures and probably videos soon.

Again.. I'd say that any dog can be calm and confident and only show aggression when necessary if it has the right training and right love... A perfect balance of discipline and love.... Even the popular Pittbulls.

I once read of a pitbull that was even more affectionate and protective like Khal..

I'd go on walks and see people jumping off the road at the sight of Khal who really doesn't give sh*t about em.. Sometimes I think he sees himself as an human being. I take him on regular walks because the tendency of Khal gaining weight is high within a week of not walking...... I don't want a fat dog. Lol.

And by the way... A rottweiler is not for first time owners please.

Wow

Nice thread

Definitely a nice choice if you want a dog that'll naturally be very defensive and wary of any stranger or object around you and your family... They can be clumsy at times though

Definitely. Thanks for checking this thread out

Nice one bro, I know I'll own one someday even tho I'm a little bit... of rottweilers.

Impressive!
In your opinion, what’s the best breed for a family pet. One which will be very good with Little kids...

I already fell in love with Khal. My regards

Depends on what size of dog you like..

Small size - Lhasa and Eskie (very nice dogs)

Medium - Chowchow (my experience with this dog has been rigid though)

Large - GSD (for a new owner), Rottweiler or Cane Corso(For an experienced owner)... Then we have the Huskies too (very playful breed tho)

Those are the ones I'd pick from for an indoor pet though.. But since I love only large dogs, I only have large ones

I like chowchow.... kindly share your experience.
St Bernard is another breed I love soo much.

Well.. There's this family I am close to.. They have Nine heavily built Rottweilers exactly like Khal... 2 Red Rotts and 7 regular ones... Any time I go there, all Nine Rotts welcome me like a member of the family... Well balanced dogs with no sign of unnecessary aggression... Love those dogs to the moon.


Since 9 Rotts are a little too much to be in the house. They all stay outside now with their own shed built for them, so the owner had to get another dog to be inside - A Chowchow

The Chowchow is almost a yr and half now and no, Harry is not my friend at all... It took Harry a long while to even let the owners daughter touch him much less me. This is a dog that has everything provided for him.....

Always scared of anyone, acts jumpy and all.. If I didn't know the family, I'd say they were abusing the dog.. Well.. I don't know.. It might be different for other Chowchows... But this one I saw.. No no no no

St. Bernard is a nice breed but I haven't seen someone with one here in Naija

Wat do u feed your dog with.. I am a first timer.. I hv a male gst.. Not up to 4 months.

Fendi looks really good... Well... As far as feeding goes, Khal eats everything we eat... To even get him to eat his dog food as a puppy (diamond biscuits), I had to pretend like I was eating and enjoying it before he'd eat each time.

For now though, we order dry fish crumbs monthly from a woman that supplies us... Atleast a 20litre bucket full one... We cook it with his indomie and its pretty dense.... Occasionally we give him canned food with the mix... And on days when we sort of cooked more than we can eat, he eats whatever we eat.


Khal was on daily eggs till he was 6 months..

So far, I'd say you should give Fendi obedience training.. Its very necessary for a big dog.. And also, chaining him down all day can increase his aggression levels..

Spend a lot of time with Fendi and make him comfortable meeting new people..... Socialisation is very important.

I guess that's good enough. I hope it's not raw red meat and fish though.

Well... Teaching him commands.... To go, sit, stay, come, roll..... Stuffs like that... You might need to watch a few YouTube tutorials on this.
