And The Little One Said "Roll Over"
Photograph taken with Sony Cybershot early this morning – 20 May 2009. Other than cropping for redbubble the picture is as ‘real’ as it gets, ‘untouched’ and ‘as is’.
The metal man had arrived and was reinforcing Alkatraz aka ‘The Den’ as my pooches have become little Houdini’s amongst other things. The sound of the drill scared them and they came to me for protection – being the evil mother that I am I left them sitting and tried to catch the moment. To get all six in one place and not chewing, fighting, digging or eating was simply beautiful.
The title is inspired by a Nusrery Rhyme that my Nannan used to ‘play’ with me ….it fits perfectly …
There were six in a bed
And the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were five in a bed….

ROTTWEILER PUPS
A litter of 9 rottweiler puppies pups was born 24th March 2009.
Their mother is Bela and he father is Troy.
Taken with Sony Cybershot 14 May 2009.
The smallest of the three boys – short haired with very big feet!
The Rottweiler, or Rottweil Metzgerhund (“Butchers Dog”), is a “medium to large size, stalwart dog” breed originating in Germany as a herding dog. It is a hardy and very intelligent breed. Rottweilers also worked as draught dogs, pulling carts to carry meat and other products to market. “Rottweiler breeders aim at a dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings, whose powerful appearance does not lack nobility and which is exceptionally well suited to being a companion, service and working dog.”
The Rottweiler was kept busy in these traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railroads replaced droving for getting livestock to market. Although there are still Rottweilers working stock all over the world, many other roles have been found for this versatile breed.
During the first and second World Wars, Rottweilers were put into service in various roles including as messenger, draught and guard dogs. Currently they are often used as search and rescue, assistance, guide dogs for the blind, guard and police dogs in addition to their traditional roles.
Although an extremely versatile breed used in recent times for many other purposes, the Rottweiler is first and foremost one of the oldest, if not the oldest, of herding breeds. A multi-faceted herding and stock protection dog of exceptional ability, it is capable of working all kinds of livestock under a wide variety of conditions.
The breed is an ancient one, whose history stretches back to the Roman Empire. In those times, the legions traveled with their meat on the hoof and required the assistance of working dogs to herd the cattle. One route the army traveled was through Württemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers during this time was supposed to be the Roman droving dog, local dogs the army met on its travels, and dogs with molosser appearance coming from England and The Netherlands.
This region eventually became an important cattle area, and the descendants of the Roman cattle dogs proved their worth in both driving and protecting the cattle from robbers and wild animals. However, by the end of the 19th century as railroads became the main method for moving stock to market, the breed had declined so much that in 1900 there was only one female to be found in the town of Rottweil.

EIGHT WEEKS AND COUNTING

Teacup
soooo cute. you were lucky to capture this. we had 12 old english sheepdog pups once and they needed hand feeding from birth!! :)
taiche replied
OMG – We had 10, sadly lost one at a day old and reared 9. Bela has been a perfect mum but has needed help in the latter weeks. This is her first litter (and last) and we expected a handful of pups, not an armful …..12 ….12…..I am rocking at the thought!
Teacup
Ooops my memory, it was only 11, sorry. The last of the litter was so small. we thought he had died and wrapped it up and then it made a noise, so we massaged it until full recovered. He was so small and we called him Cricket, because there are 11 in a cricket team. He was my favourite and I was so sad when he sold. All the best with your growing brood. :)
