Esthetically, Thunder is a beautiful representative of the Rottweilers breed. He is a masterpiece and a head turner. He has been remarkably well fed and well cared for. Thunder has been a few days with us and he has been quite  well behaved and friendly to whoever handled him. His former owner had him  since he was a puppy, but surrendered him to an urban shelter because he was not good with the small dog of the house. He is socially acceptable with adults, an older child and large dogs.

Thunder is welcoming in his kennel and leashed easily. He was not walked in the street but in the yard and strolled majestically, heeling  perfectly and  was happy to get treats from an admiring  crowd. He sat on command very peacefully and accepted  politely many treats. .He got his chance at playgroup  and enjoyed the games  for a while. Thunder is about 15 months old, altered, and is looking for continued training for his adolescent mind. 

3/17/16 update: I met Thunder this week and despite his description from the shelter, he takes time to warm up to people. He is not aggressive about it, but he is fearful. It took him half of a big of treats to decide I was his friend and could pat him. After that, we were best buddies. He is not the "super easy, highly socialized" dog we were told he was. He will need someone who will build his confidence and continue socializing him. He is a beautiful boy, but should be considered by experienced families only.
