No

Optional: Tell us a little about yourself

I live in Dallas, Texas and own two great dogs. One is a 1 1/2 year old Rottweiler/German Shephard mix with an ear that sticks up all by itself. We call her Ore, short for oreja (ear in Spanish). We just adopted a companion named Soldier. He is 10 weeks old, and is also a Rottweiler mix.

Optional: Tell us a little about your pets (names, ages, breeds):

We found our first dog abandoned last Fall when the renters next door left her. We just adopted our second dog this Tuesday from a shelter. We wanted a similar dog to out first, we wanted them to match in colors, breed, and in energy levels. We wanted a big breed male that we could train (like we trained the first dog). The goals are to have them both sit, stay, come, roll over, and fetch. They love eachother so far.

Optional: What are your pets' favorite things to do?

So far they like to play Alpha dog, and see who's the toughest.

Optional: What are their "pet peeves"?

They like to tease the dogs next door.

Optional: What are their best tricks?

My 1 1/2 year old Ore will come, stay, sit, and has an excellent recall (comes to me from long distances, even while distracted). The little one is learning to sit.

Optional: How did your pets become part of your family?

One was abandoned by the neighbors, and the other was adopted from the pound.
