mydiamond Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have a confession to make: I can not tell the difference between Rottweilers! x__x There's this Rottie in my neighborhood that has been Diamond's friend since the first day he was here. His name is Troy. I saw him every day for so many years now but I kept confusing him with other people's Rottweilers. I think, up to this day, I have already called four different Rottweilers "Troy" when I met them on walks .__. yesterday there's another "Troy" I met when I'm on my afternoon walk. At first I told myself "no, not Troy" because I've never seen the dog-walker before but this dog acts really friendly to Dime it's almost like they knew each other forever! In the end I somehow decided "okay, this must be Troy. How many dogs act this friendly when they have never met before? maybe my neighbor hired a dog walker" and let Dime come up and greet the Rott. NOT a good decision. The unexperienced dog walker was pulled off his motorbike due to his dog pulling out of excitement. Not only did he fell, but the expensive-looking motorbike smashed the ground as well! I apologized, but the man just laughed.. it looks like he thought his Rott is about to hurt Dime so he tried to hold the dog back but obviously his dog is stronger than him. I'm glad no one got hurt but oh come on this won't happen if I can tell the difference between Troy and other Rottweilers :wacko: I googled "rottweiler dogs" and... yes, you can be sure I thought the whole page is showing pictures of Troy ._. I noticed that some has a darker or lighter brown on their chest and feet, but generally they look exactly.the.same. It's confusing :wacko: anyone on the same boat?

Andy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 His own fault for "walking" a powerful prey driven dog from a motorbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharloid Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 ...The man was walking a dog whilst riding a motorbike?! That sounds stupid and dangerous. Lots of dogs look the same as other dogs of the same breed to me! Spaniels, labs, dobes, little fluffy things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 people around here somehow believes that the more high-energy your dog is, the better it is to walk him/her with a motorbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL at little fluffy things XD I can easily tell the difference between fluffy thing #1 and fluffy thing #2 LOL because usually they vary greatly in coat color. Dobermans also come in several coat colors, but Rotties are aaaall the same x__x it's confusing really. EDIT: oh my gosh my "post" and "quote" buttons came back to life!! test test...

LuvMyKai Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Lol! Oh dear, but i get what you mean a lot of Rottweilers look nearly identical to eah other, maybe next time you see Troy (the real Troy lol) pick out a little bit of him that is difefrent e.g. shape og his eyes, certain odd spot of colour on his coat, anything that you can distinguish between the real troy and other troy look alikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 LOL gosh I'm glad they're not that popular around here. This every-rott-look-the-same thing has embarrassed me a handful of times already LOL I won't be able to handle another confusing breed! can you imagine greeting a dog, saying "heya Troy!", only to receive a "uh who's Troy?" as a reply? ._.

Gary. umm... who's Rodney? in all honesty guys, this is the first time I realize nobody else walk dogs on motorbike other than us Indonesians! I do thought it's dangerous once but so many people did it and I've never heard of any dog getting hurt because of it, so I usually let it pass. So it's unacceptable? ._.

mydiamond Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 What if you figured out what color his collar was or his harness? he wore this regular choke collar that looks just like everyone else's.

Ok, Rodney is a character in a Tv comedy series called Only fools and Horses, very funny. Trying to walk any dog while riding a motor bike is stupid enough but doing it with a husky is, IMO, a recipe for disaster, not to mention totally illegal in this country. Gary.

BlueWolf Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not sure if it's me, but every other dog that isn't a sled dog is usually falls in the 'anything else' category for me Maybe it's just that I'm used to the huge variety the Siberian Husky has, but it seems that the majority of the other dog breeds only have one single look. If you put them all together they all look like clones to me, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightPaws Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I can usually tell all dogs apart the only challenge i had were the ducklings but i can tell them apart now too. Dobermans do come in multiple different colors. They come in fawn, white, blue, black, and red. Rotties also come in red i believe but they're usually black.

I don't think i have, I've just heard about them when i researched them a while ago. I've only seen the black and rust color, it'd be cool to see a red sometime though.

CARRINGTON Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 lol. If its not a husky its just a dog That is because a husky is NOT like any other dog. It is like a tiny child or husband covered in fur they have selective hearing, get into everything, push limits, and at time make you want to pull out your hair. Plus you hear lots of no or time out. With labs or any other dog it is you say sit they cannot sit fast enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
