Hopefully Sooty had a much better day today.

Puppy pig tails

Time for a nap. Puppy play is exhausting

Playing in Hailey's tunnel, with dicky ears. Time for ear taping.

The effects of a full moon are dramatic on these two

With the arrival of Apollo, it seems appropriate to have a joint thread for all their fans. So here you are for your browsing pleasure and amusement.

Hi broncho, your Rottweiler puppy doesn't need to be washed very often. Too much washing removes the protective oils from their coats. For when they get really dirty a gentle shampoo like Aloveen (an oatmeal shampoo) is great. Generally any dirt just brushes off when dry. Rottweilers have a double coat consisting of a fine undercoat and a courser top coat. You don't want to remove the undercoat as it helps them to regulate their temperature. Over brushing or combing will damage their coats. Rottweilers moult twice a year in summer and winter. As puppies grow they will lose their puppy coat at about 6 months old.

Thank you. Hailey is full of personality and enthusiasm, a little unsure at times, but loves life.

Play dates are definitely the best. The handsome young man is Charlie, a training partner from two clubs that we go too. There is also a gorgeous Border Collie named Billy in her inner circle.

Somebody had a play date.

Oh she certainly is. She jumps on to all sorts of things and poses in preparation for a photo and treat.

We were at Coronation Park and it shows the park layout and trails.

The Rockwheelers again, one of which is a water fountain.

Hiding again
