my new puppy

[Mr Pies]

Absolutely beautiful. What have you called him? I want to call mine 'Archie' or 'Colin'.

[Gargamel]

I am certain that thin blue piece of string will be adequate to hold him back if a cat or something saunters past.....

[Tango13]

See that? That's how daft your Rottie is!

Joking apart, a beautiful hound and great to see one with a tail

He hasn't pulled on the string yet its just a precaution as if he gets out he might not know his way back yet, and his previous owner had 2 cats and a baby. They moved to a smaller house so he had to go.

You can tell how old a rotty is by that, any younger than 2 have tails (the law changed)

Aw what a cutie.

Rottie, Boxer, Doberman, whatever, they all look better with a tail doesn't stop them being daft as aholes but at least they are better proportioned with a tail

That's one good thing about daft dog, at least he doesn't chase his tail because if he caught it with his teeth it might hurt

[Mr Pies]

Has he naturally started guarding the house yet? Barking when someone is at the door etc?

No he doesn't bark much just one bark when i open the door until he realises who it is. Probably a different story if it wasn't me or the wife though.

Looking for a Discovery for him now so that I can take Jim for walks further afield, no way he's getting in the Audi because of the red leather. Put in autotrader up to 2k and up to 100 miles from my postcode, 25 results to look at for the new dog van. I'll let you know how I get on

Ideal dog carrier.
I knew a bloke who had to turn his discovery into a 2 seater to carry his Great Danes. Bloody enormous beasts, they were.

A lot of the discos in the adds have 7 leather seats and circa 100000 miles in 15 years which is very low mileage

Get a passat estate. He will get in the back comfortably - my newfie did.

Is the OP planning to head deep into the woods, dales, etc? I should think that is where the Disco comes into it's own.

Love Rotties, brittiant dogs which do not earn the bad press that a few people who have got them as "status symbols" have given them. Such a shame as a friend has done very well with Rotties in disciplines (agility, obedience, show) and wote to our local rag after it published an article on how evil Rottie's were offering to be interviewed to provide a balanced opinion. Unsurprisingly they declined...

I'd agree with that.
My favorite lived in a pub in South London. Fat bugger that helped himself to the crisps from the box under the counter. He would encourage you to scratch behind his ear, then growl softly if you stopped. A real character.
