Spartacus the Rottweiler (pics and bits)

Spartacus has been accepted as a member of the local Rottweiler club, and each Wednesday he goes along to do his training.

Kev and Spartacus aged 10 weeks

It was very important to us that he went through the training, and he loves it except for when it gets a bit much for him and he suddenly develops a limp. He doesn’t have this limp any other time, just when training.

His fave training aid is cheese, and it’s good to see he takes it all on board in exchange for some cheese

Kev and Spartacus

In the above pic he is about 14 weeks old. He likes the park and is very sociable, if Spartacus had his way he would kiss every dog and person he met. He isn’t into chasing sticks, he gives a funny look as if to say “fetch it yourself”.

Spartacus on the beach

Taking him to the beach is harder, when there are lots of people we keep him on his lead. He doesn’t like the water much and never fancies a swim! He likes to dig holes though, like he is in the photo and the girls build him castles to dig up.

He has settled into our home life really well, he even barks at the golfers on the golf course behind our house and I didnt give him one iota of training for that, he done it all by himself
