Spoiled Rottenweiler's - Our Family

Our "Babies"
- Zeus Sr, Zina, Achilles, Hercules, Nyx, Peyton, Cerberus, Loki, & Zeus Jr -
"Then & Now" Collage


Zeus Sr (2004-2011) was the first. He was, is, and shall always be the heart and soul of our Spoiled Rottenweilers. After his death, I wrote a tribute to him which can be viewed here,

Zina (2009-present) - Wife of Zeus Sr & one of the smartest animals I have ever seen, She is the Queen of the Pack, retired from breeding with full honors.

Achilles (2011-present) & Hercules (2011-2011) Litter twins from Z & Z's first litter born January of '11.
We lost Hercules too soon, lost to illness shortly after the tornadoes plowed through our area.


Nyx (2011-present) From Z & Z's second litter, born August of '11
Nyx was the SOLE SURVIVOR of that litter- a bad batch of vaccinations infected the entire litter with Parvo, she somehow pulled through. She is Joe's 'favorite' and oh, my does she know it!

Peyton (2011(?)-present) - Our "rescue" addition, true age unknown - believed to be approximately the same age as Nyx.
Peyton was given to us when some folks nearby were suddenly forced to get rid of her. She came to us a shy & skittish gal - possibly mistreated - she joined our 6 and quickly became one of the pack. The best Momma dog anyone could want.


And then there are the triplets--
Cerberus, Loki, & Zeus Jr (2012-present) - the last litter fathered by Zeus Sr
Still heartbroken over the loss of their Dad, I almost kept ALL the puppies from his last litter, but wound up settling for keeping just these 3 boys. I can't even count how many people came by wanting to buy one of these guys - but I couldn't let them go. They are the "babies" of the pack & yet they each outweigh me!

More puppies than I can count have passed from our home to others.
They are our family.
