I want another dog but I keep trying to find a dog just like my male rott...

Oh it is so sad when you lose a pet as i believe they are like family, I think a good way to honour him is to give another dog a good life and a good way of doing that is to go to a shelter and just let a dog win your heart...I hope you find another friend.

wow max was your best friend you will never find another like him.but what you can do is go to the animal shelter the animal there recieve all there shots and they care for the animal the way it should be taken care of.

My male rottie was named Dakota and he died 2 years ago in Jan... He had cancer of the stomach and he died in his home, literally in my arms... He was 10 YO. My female rottie was named Shayna and she died 1 year later of cancer, in my arms... We don't know her exact age as she was a rescue dog, but we guess she was about 8 YO...

I feel for you. Our animals/pets/companions/friends are long lost...
My DH couldn't take the silence of the house after we lost both our dogs... We had another dog within 4 months. While he is a nice dog, he's not our Rotties. DH got another dog because he didn't know how to live without one... Not because he wanted another pet/campanion/friend.

How do I put this without sounding like I don't love our dog? Duke was a rescue from a pound.. he was young, would be large but gentle and loyal. (He's a Lab) He's very Goofy... he's not dumb, just silly.. Understand? He's not the regal, serious speciman that our rotties were...

We treat him the same that we treated our beloved Rotties, he's well cared for, well fed, plenty of play areas/run time, he's indoors every night... He's taken care of. But he's not Dakota or Shayna. I feel he's here only because Da and/or Shay are not...

My advise to you: please don't try to find Max again. He's gone. Accept it. Wait to reunite with him. (...remember the "Rainbow Bridge?")

Welcome another dog into your life/home because you want to know him, because you want to share your life with him, because you want to know that you have another friend here with you, while your other friends are waiting...

POINT: don't waste the love that you have in your soul; share it while you can. You will be happier because of it, and so will the dog that you choose.

My best advice is to just get another dog and not look for the qualities of Max. We had 2 rotties, Taz and Storm who have both passed away - 9 1/2 and 11 1/2 respectively. We now have two dogs (from the humane society) who amazing have Taz and Storm's qualities. Weird as it sounds it's like we have them in different bodies now. It's a good thing - they both look different (Rio is red and is just like Taz and Thor is black and blond) but they are so much like Taz and Storm it's unreal. We didn't go out looking for the same, the same found us

I'm so sorry about your dog. When we put down mine, I was devastated. She was there before I was born and had been my sidekick ever since; she died when I was twelve (she was thirteen).

I'm also sorry to say that you'll never find a dog like Max. Dogs may look the same, but none are ever the same. Especially in personality. Rottweilers are naturally smart dogs, so I'm sure you could train one just like Max, but in the long run, you'll never have Max back.
