Description:
Rocco and his littermates were born at the Seminole County Animal Control. Mary Beth, the administrator, called Judy and asked her to take this family in. If not, they were going to be put to sleep. Well, I ask you, what would you have done? Right, the same thing Judy did! Of course she took them. And then our wonderful fosters Maggie and Michael stepped forward and offered to care for them. Very brave, especially since this was their first venture into fostering. But it has been a joy for them, and they have been a blessing for us. Rocco will probably be ready for his forever home by mid-November.

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.
