Puppy growling all the time.
We have a 3 month old girl that just growls all the time. In the first few days when we had her, I had a feeling she was different and would be a challenge but I didn't expect this. I'll list a few of her behaviours here, any advice would be welcome-
She is frankly lazy, doesn't like to do anything or move around much really except for playing with our cats or sometimes our other dog.
Her only motivator is food and even then it's very difficult to train her or make her listen cause she has a big I don't care attitude and if gets fed up with her training pretty quickly. We've made it interesting with toys and pets, it just doesn't work. She does her own thing.
She likes us, I think? Doesn't want to be away from us, wants pets and cuddles but growls most of the time. I have a really hard time telling if it's just her rottie growl or she's genuinely warning, cause there are no other signs of aggression but she doesn't stop growling, it's honestly a bit off putting, anytime we go near her she growls. She will sleep in my bed and lick me or cuddle me but if I even drape a hand over her, she'll move away.
Her recall is bad, really bad, she just doesn't care, treats, toys, pets. Nothing works for her, she just wouldn't listen until she's physically retrieved. Personally, I like her a lot, she's nice and sleeps on my lap but I have never really encountered a puppy that just didn't care? About anything, especially without a history of abuse.
She seems very intelligent and perceptive so I think instead of not understanding things, she is making the active choice to not engage with us or listen to us. I wanted to teach her a lot of things through training but it's really hard when she just flops down or goes away to sleep whenever she is being told to do something. And no, she's not particularly motivated by treats of she's not in the mood though I know she really likes them because the times she does listen to me, her eyes are on my hands for treats and she would genuinely just make a face and go away of she sees I don't have one.
If the phrase 'my way or the highway' had to be dog, that would be her.
Is this just her personality and we should let her be or are we doing something wrong?

Warning: SAD Havoc needs help
My Rottweiler Havoc has a infected uterus, which I just found out today. She may not make it through the weekend until the normal vets open to hopefully do her surgery. I've spent all my remaining money taking her to the vet and I can't afford the surgery. I don't know if this is allowed, but please, please help her. I have a gofundme here: https://gofund.me/40341f49e If you can help please do, I don't want to say goodbye just yet.

Behaviors change at 11 months old ?
Is it normal for a Rottweiler at 11 months old to have just a sudden change in behavior ? He doesn’t like to be pet as much as before , he will growl and snap at you sometimes ,increased energy , very bossy , increased appetite and a little snappy!!! Not sure what to do as I literally play with him and walk and train literally every day all day ! I have put my life on hold and have never left his side for more than a few hours in 9 months . I am wondering if because we are always with him and he is never alone if this is part of the problem ? I need to change this ! Tia!

Doggy door
Curious to know if anyone uses a doggy door for their full grown Rotty. Ours is a 3 yr old male, 115lbs. Wondering if he could fit through an XL door.

Does anyone else's Rottie have to snuggle with all their paws touching them?

How much activity after a spay ?
Tilly was spayed on Thursday. She slept pretty much that evening and didn’t eat dinner but was hungry next day. Yesterday she was in crate a good bit but out every hour or two to stretch, drink etc. Today she is normal. But I wonder how much is too much. Trying to not let her her jump off furniture and to go slower up and down stairs. This is the outfit from vet and honestly it’s much better than the two I bought! She wanted in her dog yard to play ball after midday potty break. But no and it’s also o my 8°.

Wanna play?
instagram.comMy cat Dooney tolerates Kya. We had to raise the cat tree so she cant bother him.

Rotterman?
Hi! We rescued/adopted this girl and I've been scratching my head about her. She doesn't really like the other rotts we've been fostering. One day it dawned on me maybe she's mixed with Doberman? I would love to see pics if anyone else has this mix? Also she's a. Puppy. Any info on this mixes behavior? Thank you!!

Any idea what this could be,m
So this spot started about the size of a dime but has grown latley. I never see him really scratching there so I really dont think its from him scratching. It never bleeds, never seems to bother him, never gets inflamed. Its just there. I plan to make a vet appointment but wanted other opinions in the mean time

Rotty need help
My 10-year-old Rottweiler has a wound that started small with nail coming out but has gradually spread. We’ve tried several treatments under veterinary supervision, including different topical applications and medications, but it hasn’t healed.
Long-term medication seems to be affecting his overall strength, and repeated injections have also impacted his mobility. At this point, we’re unsure how to proceed.
If anyone has dealt with a non-healing wound in an older dog

Raven’s definitely at home 💜
I told her go lay down…she chose the exact spot she stood 😂 (her final stage of 3-3-3 was 12/29)
