Description:
Savannah is an absolutely gorgeous Rottweiller puppy. I have to admit that there are certain breeds that I have a weak spot for, and Rotties are among them. When I saw this little girl my heart just melted. How did she end up in a high-kill shelter I will never know. Oh, but she is going to end up in a wonderful home, I can guarantee that!

Volunteer Update: Savannah has been with me the last couple of weeks at events so i wanted to share what i have learned so far! She is a very playful sweet girl! Every dog, no matter what size or temperment, that walks by is a playmate to her! She is such a lover and seems to enjoy water. She is always sticking her foot or face in to the water bowl to play! She would do well with another dog of her size to play with!

*** Are you not familiar with Rottweilers? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Rottie is calm, trainable, courageous, and devoted to their owner and family. The Rottweiler is probably descended from the Italian Mastiff. During the Middle Ages, it was used as a herd dog. It was bred in the German town of Rottweil in Wurttemberg. Practically extinct in the 1800's, the breed population began a comeback in the early twentieth century due to the efforts of enthusiastic breeders centered in Stuttgart. Some of the Rottweilers talents include: tracking, herding, watchdogging, guarding, police work, carting, competitive obedience, and schutzhund.
They have a reliable temperament. Protective, he will defend his family fiercely. They require owners who can handle their massive size. The Rottie is a natural guard dog with a mellow temperament. They are highly intelligent and have proven their worth beyond question in police, military, and customs work over many centuries. This breed needs a lot of companionship and socialization to be truly happy. They can be aggressive with other dogs and should be kept on leashes in public places. Friends and relatives of the family are normally enthusiastically welcomed. Strangers can get no further than the sidewalk. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
