Maggie & Max

This site my is about our little Rottweilers named Maggie and Max.   We adopted Maggie in August of 2003 from Recycled Rotts, Inc.   She was rescued from the Chicago dog pound.   Maggie now has her Forever Home in the north suburbs of Chicago.   She was only 57 pounds at about age 2 when we adopted her, tiny by Rottweiler standards.   Today, she tips the scales around 85 pounds; her full adult weight.  Many people still mistake her for a puppy.   What she lacks in size, she makes up in personality.  Visit Maggie's Page to see some amusing pictures of her.   Max's story is remarkably similar.   He was rescued by Recycled Rotts from the same pound that Maggie came from.   He was pretty sick the first few days but Maggie nursed him back to health.  Max joined our family in June of 2004 at the ripe old age of 6 months.

Maggie's Portfolio	Buying a Rottweiler
View the online photo album filled with pictures of this sweet little Rottweiler.	If you are looking for a Rottie for a home pet, the best place to start looking is your local animal shelter and Rottweiler rescues.  All the rescues have done some preliminary temperment testing to help you find a nice dog.  Second, search for a reputable breeder.  Check with Rottweiler clubs in your area or go to dog shows to obtain recommendations.   At ALL costs, do NOT purchase a dog from a Pet store or so called Back Yard Breeders.  That only perpetuates the problems of puppy mills and poorly bred Rottweilers.
