In the beginning was the fear
Until the age of 16, I was terrified, a phobia, of dogs. When I met a dog on my side of the road I changed the street side.
At that time I met a very good friend who owned a big German shepherd dog. By daily dealing with this wonderful dog my phobia disappeared more and more. Soon there was even the desire for a own dog, which should then be fulfilled after a few years.
So there was the desire for a own dog, with 20 years I already had a larger apartment, a good job and a friend who could take care of the dog in my absence.
There was the question what kind of dog it should be. One thing was clear, he was supposed to be tall.
I talked to a neighbor over and over again, who had a very good idea of dogs. His favorite dogs were Rottweiler, he grew up with them, his grandfather had some. In the beginning I did not like the idea so much because the Rottweilers did not enjoy a very good reputation back then (until today).
But he was able to persuade me by his detailed accounts of visiting a Rottweiler breeder later.
we informed us at the german rottweiler verein where in our area is a breeder who have puppies to deliver.
We then made an appointment and after a few days we made our way to the breeder.
How it goes on then I'll tell you in the next part ......
