I've got 2 of 'em myself. An 8 year old Rotweiller named Ben, and a 6 month old Collie named Ginger. Ben is pretty old for a Rotweiller. Somebody told me once that his kind of breed has a short life span, like 7 years. Well, Ben is hangin in there. Maybe he'll show up them statistics. Ginger is a whole 'nuther story. She is full of it. Her and my kitty, Missy get along great. Missy latches onto her tail, and Ginger takes her for a ride, right into the cabinet sometimes when she goes running through the kitchen. Tile and animals don't always get along.

I have found some wonderful resources on the net that is full of information on care for dogs. Check 'em out :
