Leon and Pitie friend Churro came to us as their owner became unable to care for them anymore. Leon is a young and very good looking Rottweiler. He owns gorgeous markings and a good grooming would make him absolutely stupendous…I love his big round and mushy face, his content look when he is in company, sees treats and a ball.. Ah, a tennis ball. His eyes titillate ….His chest expands ..His mouth opens….His hinds are ready to bounce… Watch out….I throw the ball before to be hit by a heavy identified object, Leon in person… Leon is quite powerful, pulls on the leash and does his business in few stops. He does listen, though and will sit on command. He sits usually pretty calmly at his door, waiting to be taken out. Leon is obviously used to be around people and likes to be caressed, even leaning against my waist. He is big and pushy. Yes, he makes sure to get what he wants…or at least he tries very hard. Although he respond to recall, he pulls toward other dogs in the street and likes to pursue his lady peers in playgroups…Well, Leon is quite a catch and I hope that a Rottie lover will see his beauty and virtues, take him home and make of him a stellar for ever best friend. Come and meet Leon at the Manhattan Care Center.
PLAYGROUP:
5/1: When introduced off leash to the female greeter dog, Leon greets with a slightly tense body and high, vibrating tail. He follows the greeter and is persistent at attempting to mount.
