I had a Rottie about 20 years ago when I taught Chemistry on the Navajo Reservation. My vet told me that Rotts are highly succeptable to Parvo so he suggested multiple vaccinations. I think I had her vaccinated every 6 months for 2 years then a booster every 18 months. She was a great dog, but she liked to roam. She never met a fence that could keep her contained, but she always came back.
When I moved to C Springs to work at USAFA, I had to pass her on to a family with kids because our new house was on a ranch, no fences and a busy roadway very close. I figured the dog was in more danger from the road than anything else so I found her a new family. Last I heard from them was she had adopted their young daughter and was fiercely protective of the child.
Great dogs.
