I'm not into lines and pedigrees but here are they are if you can decipher them.

Sire.

Dam

I tested the sire and dam. The sire is very good, a throwback to what rotts used to be 20 years ago. I wish I could own him. The mother I didn't put much pressure on as she was after puppies when I saw her but she's stable and has some self assuredness and aggression.

My pup is the same age as yours. I'll have to get some new pictures of her this weekend. You can see her here.

Mine was born July 18 so she's just about 3 months. She's developing very slowly size wise but I don't mind that at all, I'm curious to see her final size as both parents are very adequate. There are a couple of conflicting things temperament wise. She's got the right attitude with people, goes forward right up to a person that is behaving strangely even if it's a stranger. I saw this in her when I picked her out of the litter. With that she's not at all too playful aggressive, like with my 3 year old daughter.

On the down side she's sensitive to street sounds, traffic big noisy trucks. Also sliding objects that make noise. Normally I'd pass on a dog like this but I'm curious to see how this plays out, considering her very good reaction to people, after I socialize her to all those things.

She's been with me about a month and I don't feel that she has found her center yet. May be partially my fault as from the beginning I'd put the two of them together at times in the run and the mastiff that's a couple of weeks older was pushing her around. A week ago though I separated them to give the rott a better chance but this way it's a lot more work for me. She alerts very nice to strange goings on and has a bark that sounds to me like the beginning of a serious bark of a dog that wants to engage. Overall an interesting journey.

Forgot to say that she'd fail the farmer's test. Does not like at all to be picked up and never relaxes completely when cradled etc. I do a lot of handling with her like that and she's better now than when she first came but the resistance is still evident. I once had a male dog that was like that and he was a very tough dog.
