My sister, who lurks, but doesn't join...he he he..has a rottie named Rafe. Rafe, and his two siblings live on one acre of land, fenced, complete with a pond. They are let out to play frequently. All of this history is important to the story. Anyhow, Rafe weighs in at about 110. He is less than 2 years old.
My sister's husband was next door, talking to the neighbor. Rafe was out in the yard, and NOT pleased that he wasn't next door with daddy. So, what does Rafe do? What do you think! He scaled a 6 foot privacy fence to get next door! 6 feet!! My sister's husband and the neighbor were so suprised to see this huge rottie coming over the top of the fence, they were speechless! (I might add they thought it was a fluke, so, tried it again, and over again he came). Now, mind you, this is not a continuing thing....for safety, adjustments to the fence will be made. Rafe only goes spastic when one of them is outside the confines of the fence...he just has to be with my sister and her husband. The husband blames it on my sister...who takes Rafe running with her. Says he is a Super Rottie! Here is a pic of Rafe after cooling off in the pond:

And, here he is trying to intimidate Binx. Today, Binx towers over this little wimpy rottie...super rottie, whatever! You can see the aforementioned fence in the background!
