Bertha is a 3-4 years old Rottweiler cross probably with a German Shepherd who was picked up as a stray. She is about 30-35 kilos, so not really big for a bitch of this type. She is a little on the lean side but is not underweight. She is a very people friendly endearing dog who loves to be cuddled and stroked and will constantly follow you all around the house for this attention, which is nice. Bertha is on the small size for a Rottweiler cross but is still a fairly powerful dog who has typical Rottweiler characteristics including an intelligent, alert and confident manner. She is obedient, willing to please and very easy to control as she is totally submissive to all members of the family. She has been very quickly accepted by the foster families big mastiff dog and they have now become become best of mates.
Bertha is fully house trained and has had no accidents in the house at all. She lets you know when she needs to go outside to do her business by sitting by the door and gently crying. Bertha happily sleeps all night downstairs in her basket and doesn’t get up in the morning until we come down stairs. She is a delight to take out for walks as she does not pull on the lead and when off the lead in local fields her recall is excellent. She has been friendly with all dogs she has met on her walks, although at times she can be a little indifferent preferring her own company whilst she explores her new surroundings. Her play, although non aggressive, can at times be noisy and growly. She is very approachable when eating and is not food aggressive in anyway. Bertha is not destructive or a barker when left alone for a few hours in the house and she is also a good traveller making no fuss when in the back of our estate car. Bertha is a very friendly keen to please type dog who is a lovely character and great company. She would suit an active family with or without another friendly dog, but unfortunately without small children as they could easily be accidentaly knocked over by her. Bertha is a joy to have in our home.
