He's my first dog ever, now its the break in period for both of us! I haven't named him yet, which i plan to do very soon, please suggest some names.

I haven't clicked any better shots yet, so sharing what i have clicked with my phone.


I'm feeding him RC Puppy Starter pack and milk, but wish to change over to home food. Suggest what i can feed him at this stage. The breeder has given me a chart, but want to hear more suggestions.

congrats Sankar.. so he finally arrived Wishing you a long and enjoyable time with your rott. Do post some more pics, longing to see more of him.

I suggest you retain him on RC (at least 1 out of 2 of the day's meals should be RC) until he achieves full/nearly full physical growth. No other diet can provide as many nutrients as professional dog food. Did you pay a visit to the Vet?

Thanks Mayank , i know he was mad as a child and he still is pretty insane. These days he has fallen in love with tennis balls all over again !!
I dont know from where he has arranged them but he has a ball in each and every room of the house :P

Thanks Karthikk! Problem is that he is not eating RC much, takes few pieces and goes off to finish it off with milk/water. Wondering if he's not liking it. Gave him little bit of plain rice with some milk this evening. Breeder also suggested cerelac/farex, bread and ragi for the time being.

He's pooping well, solid and in good amount.

Vet did visit while he was with his litter mates, but not after i got him, the date is given for the next visit.

Super pics!

I read somewhere that tennis balls are not really recommended for pets. The green felt may pose some health problems. A good quality solid rubber ball maybe?
Problem is that once they identify a toy they just don't wanna let it know and neither do accept other toys.

Few pics of my dude.. Took this morning after his daily dose of morning fun. He's eating RC starter now without complaining.

My doggies early pictures, one is when she was born and later when Tia accompanied with us for our first trip to Hosur in the Car.

Anyone with an experience of Jack Russel's here? I have a 1 year old JRT who is very well behaved (as far as JRT's go!) but I just cannot get him to walk properly on a leash, running is fine! Any specific inputs?

He is a cutie Sankar! Happy for you.

Please do bear in mind that Rottweilers are a bit aggressive in nature when grown up. Hence, discipline is important (read: Critical!) right from his puppy days. As with all the breeds, he should be socialized and trained early. Hope you have a lifetime of love and happiness from him and he from you

They are absurdly courageous and will take on something ten times their size without a moment's though. I wouldn't mess with a Jack Russell: having one attached to the ankle is a painful experience!

No training hints, but a request ... to post a pic of your JRT please?

That's a great looking dog. The picture of him walking has an air of nonchalance and seems as if he is saying " Who the hell has come into my kingdom"
