Gazan Rottweiler Gilbert, AZ

Gazan is amazing if you have the time to give him to trust you before you put any pressure on him. He doesn't trust people too quickly but it seems that once you bond with him, it's a pretty solid relationship. It took me 2 weeks to get to that point and it took my husband 3 weeks to get there with him. He does have a bite record. He bit his previous owner who stuck his arm through a pool fence to pet him while he was eating and Gazan got his hand. That is strange to think of him doing that because he seems very relaxed when he is eating, I have walked around him closely and picked up the water bowl to refill it that was right next to his food bowl, and he didn't do anything, not even a growl or shift his weight or anything. I know that there were young teens in his original home and he did fine with them. He is a ball freak and you have to be willing to throw his ball for him, a lot. You have to have the patience and able to contain yourself from touching him for at least a week maybe two. He will come to you when he is ready. He does not like strangers in his personal space, just like you or I don't, and he hates it as much as we do during covid. I had a family come and meet him a couple of weeks ago and they were playing with him and he was doing great with them and then he decided to take a little break and lay down on his bed, and the dad decided to kneel down right in front of his bed and talk to him, and he gave a little bark and a lunge to warn him to back up. Scared the guy but Gazan didn't touch him and as soon as the guy backed up he was fine with him again. They were here with him for about an hour.

I took him to a training class a couple of weeks ago and we were surrounded by rottweilers and their handlers in 4-6 feet in all directions and he was perfect. He walks perfect on a leash, and know all his basic commands well, in both english and Armenian. He is highly treat and toy motivated, and thats also the quickest way to win his heart.

From what i have observed, He matches the attitude of other dogs. If they are friendly, he is too. If they are aggressive, then game on. Probably best to match him with a female but he could enjoy a male friend too. I recommend that he is not matched with a small dog.

If you are looking for your companion dog to double as a guard dog then Gazan is your guy. He can be very protective over the people he loves. He is a very smart dog and his potential is only limited by the time that can not be invested in him. If you have time on your side, this dog can be rockstar! He is worth the trouble.


Our Adoption Process... If you are interested in adopting one of our fun loving not so rotten rotties, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will allows us to get to know you better and to make sure the dog you are looking at is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our questionnaire by going to our website, www.rottenrottie.com click on the forms tab, and fill out the questionnaire and submit it online. After we review your answers, if we feel that the dog that you are interested in, is not a good fit for you and your family, we may recommend a different rottweiler companion. After we determine which Rottweiler(s) is the best for you, we will set up a time so that you can meet him or her at their house, where they will feel most comfortable and act as they normally do. An adoption contract will be signed to finalize the adoption and we do ask for a rehoming fee of $400 for most adults, $250 for most of our seniors 6 years and above for any rottweiler mix of any age (except puppies) . Our fees for puppies fluctuate depending on how much we had to invest into them or their litter, and weather they are purebred or a mix. These funds are necessary so that our organization may continue to rehome rottweilers. ALL of our dogs are sterilized, fully vaccinated and microchipped, heartworm tested negative and come with a collar and a leash. We have also addressed any injury or illness that they had when they came to us, or received in foster care. These problems will be disclosed to the adopter prior to adoption.
