Meet Zuko
Breed: Rottweiler
Barking from: Marlborough
What's up dog?
Rottweilers have always been our dream dog.
Everyone around us was super against them and warned us against them we got a lot of hate and still get hate to this day because of his breed.
And each day we aim to change at least one persons mind against Rottweilers.
Our friends with kids prior to meeting Zuko admit they would never let their kids around a Rottweiler but after they have met him and his sensitive kind hearted soul they have since changed their minds so has everyone around us that warned us against him.
His favourite hobby is chasing bunny’s with other dogs but he’s not much good because as soon as he has realised he’s scared them he lets them go.
He loves children even though kids can be scared of him from how big he is they soon warm up to him and climb all over.
He’s had a hard year with injury’s such as ripping his feet up luckily to survive but even in the amount of pain he’s in he never showed aggression just trust.
He’s the biggest 65kg lap dog we have ever had but wouldn’t change it for the world.
